# Surfbound Health vs OrderlyMeds

Canonical page: https://glp1buyerguide.com/compare/surfbound-vs-orderlymeds


Two compounded programs, two injectable molecules, one monthly charge each. The cheaper side flips with the medication, so the honest answer is two answers.

**Tirzepatide $219 vs $299 · semaglutide $169 vs $149.** Provider prices re-checked on October 30, 2026.

## Is Surfbound Health or OrderlyMeds cheaper for compounded GLP-1 injections?

It depends which molecule you buy, and that is the whole answer. On **tirzepatide, Surfbound Health is cheaper** at $219 a month against OrderlyMeds at $299. On **semaglutide, OrderlyMeds is cheaper** at $149 against $169.

Both are compounded, both bill a single period at a time, and neither charges a separate membership fee. Those three facts are identical, so the only real difference on a normal period is the medication charge and, on the terms side, what each program publishes about doses and cancellation. Their cycles differ: Surfbound Health renews every 28 days, OrderlyMeds once a month.

A single "cheaper provider" headline would be wrong for one of the two products. This document prints both, from each program’s own pricing page, and names the lower figure on each molecule whoever publishes it.

## Disclosure

GLP1 Buyer Guide and Surfbound Health are both owned by Open Water Rx LLC.
That commercial interest is disclosed on the page itself, above the comparison table rather than after it. It is a disclosure, not an ordering input and not a scoring input: neither program is given a preference in the figures, and where the recorded charge favours one side it is named whoever publishes this guide.

## The monthly price, molecule by molecule

These are standard monthly charges, not entry prices. Each figure is the recorded month-to-month charge plus every mandatory recurring fee the program records, and on both programs that fee line is zero. No introductory month, prepaid package or starter price is inside these numbers.

| Medication | Surfbound Health | OrderlyMeds | Difference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Tirzepatide, compounded injectable | $219 a month, checked October 22, 2026 | $299 a month, checked October 15, 2026 | $80 a month lower at Surfbound Health, about 27% less than $299. |
| Semaglutide, compounded injectable | $169 a month, checked October 22, 2026 | $149 a month, checked October 26, 2026 | $20 a month lower at OrderlyMeds, about 12% less than $169. |

$80 a month lower at Surfbound Health, about 27% less than $299. $20 a month lower at OrderlyMeds, about 12% less than $169.

Two published amounts are deliberately kept out of that table. Surfbound Health also publishes three-month and six-month package totals, which are package prices rather than monthly instalments, and OrderlyMeds advertises a reduced two-month starter for new patients, which is an entry offer rather than the ongoing rate. Converting either into a monthly figure would produce a number neither program actually bills.

## What the charge includes, and how you leave

A monthly price is only half a comparison. The other half is whether a membership sits beside it, what the price is said to cover, whether the charge moves as the dose rises, and what it takes to stop. Every cell below is the field as recorded on the program’s own pages.

| Field | Surfbound Health | OrderlyMeds |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Membership fee | $0: no separate membership fee | $0: no separate membership fee |
| Included services | Provider review, prescribed medication and shipping. | Tirzepatide: Doctor-led orientation, medication if prescribed, supplies and shipping. · Semaglutide: Provider review, medication if prescribed, supplies and shipping. |
| Required or separate fees | No separate membership fee. No laboratory services are provided or billed. | Tirzepatide: No separate membership fee; virtual consults included. · Semaglutide: No separate membership fee recorded. |
| Dose increases | One price across the doses listed; no advertised dose-based increase. Recorded doses: Same published price at each prescribed dose; numeric range not established | One price across the doses listed; no advertised dose-based increase. The published dose range is not established. |
| Billing interval | Every 28 days. | Monthly, calendar-month billing. |
| Commitment | No long-term commitment and no minimum term. Recurring billing applies until you cancel, so the plan can be stopped before the next monthly renewal. The published Refund Policy and Terms were re-checked on October 26, 2026. | Tirzepatide: No minimum term on the monthly plan. · Semaglutide: No long-term commitment. Recurring billing applies until you cancel. |
| Cancellation | Cancel in the patient portal with no required advance notice and no cancellation fee; the published Refund Policy and Terms were re-checked on October 26, 2026. Cancellation stops future orders, not orders the pharmacy has already processed. | Cancel before the next renewal to stop future charges. |
| Dispensing pharmacy | Section 503A compounding pharmacy recorded. Surfbound Health publicly identifies several independent pharmacy partners, including Emerald Compounding Pharmacy. The specific pharmacy fulfilling an individual prescription is determined through the prescription and fulfillment process. | Not established. No dispensing facility is recorded for this program on the pages we read, so no pharmacy is attributed here. |

- **Membership fee.** A separate membership is a recurring charge billed on top of the medication. Zero means the program states no separate membership fee, which is not the same fact as an unrecorded amount.
- **Included services.** The services the program states are inside the single charge, in the provider’s own wording.
- **Required or separate fees.** Read from each program’s published terms. Where a fee is conditional or charged once, the record names it here rather than folding it into the charge.
- **Dose increases.** A flat price is a claim that the charge does not rise as the dose increases. It is only established across the doses each program publishes, so the recorded ladder or dose scope is stated beside it.
- **Billing interval.** The interval the provider actually bills on, recorded on each offer and not inferred from the medication supply. A 28-day cycle is not a calendar month, and neither is converted into the other.
- **Commitment.** What the plan records about a minimum term, in the program’s own words. A recurring charge on its own proves neither a minimum term nor the absence of one.
- **Cancellation.** Cancelling stops future orders. It does not reverse an order the pharmacy has already processed on either program.
- **Dispensing pharmacy.** A pharmacy category describes how a compounded product is regulated. It does not identify the named facility filling a specific order, and it says nothing about the price.

**Billing basis, Surfbound Health.** Owner-confirmed on October 22, 2026 and corrected on November 11, 2026: billed every 28 days, not once a calendar month.

**Billing basis, OrderlyMeds.** Billing cadence corrected in the October 26, 2026 price pass.

## Where each program is the better buy

Better value means one thing here: the lower recorded monthly charge for the same molecule, with the terms attached to it. Each program holds the lower figure on one of the two lines, and neither holds both.

**What the OrderlyMeds record states.** OrderlyMeds records a flat monthly charge on both compounds, with no separate membership fee, virtual consults inside that charge and no minimum term on the monthly plan. On semaglutide it holds the lower of the two recorded figures.

### Lower tirzepatide charge: Surfbound Health at $219 a month

- No separate membership fee, so the charge is the whole recurring price.
- No laboratory services are provided or billed, which is a stated exclusion rather than a fee that may appear.
- One price across the doses listed, with no advertised dose-based increase.

$80 a month lower at Surfbound Health, about 27% less than $299.

### Lower semaglutide charge: OrderlyMeds at $149 a month

- The lower of the two semaglutide figures on this comparison.
- No separate membership fee, so the recorded charge is the whole recurring price.
- Recorded as a flat monthly price across the doses it lists.
- Monthly renewal with no minimum term recorded.

$20 a month lower at OrderlyMeds, about 12% less than $169.

**Where the two are level.** Both are month-to-month with no minimum term recorded, both state no separate membership fee, and both record one price across the doses they list. On the cycle they differ: Surfbound Health renews every 28 days, while OrderlyMeds bills once a month, so neither figure has been converted to the other cycle. Nothing else in the terms decides this comparison; the medication charge does.

**What would change the answer.** A dose beyond what either program publishes, a membership introduced after the check date, or a different billing cadence would each move a figure. That is why every number here carries the date it was read instead of a single freshness badge for the page.

**What value does not mean.** This is a comparison of price and program terms. It is not a clinical comparison, no program is claimed to work better than another, and whether either medication is appropriate is a decision for a licensed prescriber.

## What neither page establishes

One fact a buyer would reasonably want is missing on both sides, and it is left missing rather than estimated. Neither program publishes the dose range its flat price covers, so the flat claim holds across the doses listed and cannot be verified above them. On the supply itself the two records are not level: Surfbound Health records a 28-day supply per charge, while OrderlyMeds does not state the days of medication a monthly charge buys.

Both prices are for compounded preparations. A compounded medication is not an FDA-approved product, and the charges above are recorded cash prices for what each program sells, not a converted or insurance-adjusted figure.

Compounded and brand-name products appear together because buyers compare them. They can share an active ingredient; they are not the same product. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not generic versions of the brand-name medications.

A figure is accurate to its check date and no further. Prices move, a plan can be withdrawn, and a re-read can change an amount. The date beside each figure is the date it was read, and the provider pages behind them are listed below.

## How these figures were checked

Each monthly figure is read from the program’s own pricing page and carried on an offer record with its source, its check date and any conflict noted beside it. The tables above print those record fields; nothing is typed in twice and nothing is averaged across programs.

Both providers’ own pricing pages were re-read on this date and still publish the same two monthly figures recorded here. A recorded figure is kept until a re-read replaces it, and a replaced figure keeps the date of the reading it came from instead of being quietly overwritten.

## Surfbound Health vs OrderlyMeds: the questions buyers ask

### Is Surfbound Health or OrderlyMeds cheaper?

It depends on the molecule, and neither program is cheaper on both. Surfbound Health is lower on tirzepatide at $219; OrderlyMeds is lower on semaglutide at $149. A single "cheaper provider" line would be wrong for one of the two products, which is why this page prints both.

### What does compounded injectable tirzepatide cost at each program?

Surfbound Health records $219 for a 28-day period of compounded injectable tirzepatide and OrderlyMeds records $299 a month, so Surfbound Health is $80 lower per period. Each record states its own cycle and neither figure has been converted.

### What does compounded injectable semaglutide cost at each program?

OrderlyMeds records $149 a month for compounded injectable semaglutide and Surfbound Health records $169, so OrderlyMeds is $20 a month lower. The result is the opposite way round from tirzepatide.

### Do either of these programs charge a separate membership fee?

No. Both records state $0 in a separate membership fee, so the monthly medication charge is the whole recurring price on both sides. No separate membership fee is not the same as no recurring billing: the plan still renews each month until it is stopped. Both records are re-read on October 30, 2026.

### Does the price go up when the dose increases?

Neither record states a dose-based price increase: each program prices one monthly charge across the doses it lists. Neither program publishes the dose range that price covers, so the flat claim is established across the doses listed and unverified above them. That gap is recorded on both profiles rather than smoothed into the headline figure.

### Can you stop after one month at either program?

Both are month-to-month plans and neither record carries a minimum term. Cancelling stops future orders; on both sides it does not reverse an order the pharmacy has already processed. Surfbound Health names the pharmacy-processing cutoff in its published refund policy, and OrderlyMeds records cancellation before the next renewal.

### Who compounds the medication behind each program?

Surfbound Health records a Section 503A compounding pharmacy as its dispensing partner, and that facility is not named on the public pricing pages. No dispensing facility is recorded for OrderlyMeds on the pages read for this comparison, so none is attributed to it here. A pharmacy category describes how a product is regulated; it does not identify the named facility filling an order.

### Is this guide independent of Surfbound Health?

No, and that is disclosed at the top of this page. GLP-1 Buyer Guide is operated by Open Water Rx LLC, which also operates Surfbound Health. The program is ranked and compared like every other program on the site, and its recorded figures are the ones its own pages publish.

### Which program is better value?

Value here means one thing only: the recorded monthly charge for the same molecule, plus the terms attached to it. On that basis Surfbound Health records the lower charge for tirzepatide and OrderlyMeds for semaglutide. Nothing on this page compares how well either medication works, and no product here is claimed to be equivalent to another or right for any individual.
