Our verdict
AvoidFridays offers both brand and compounded GLP-1s, but a BBB F rating, mostly unanswered complaints and a pricing page that contradicts itself put it in Avoid.

- No FDA warning letter found to Fridays or Thrive Health Group, Inc. A Feb 9 2026 letter went to Thrive Health and Wellness, LLC of Colorado, a different company, and does not mention Fridays [4].

Fridays prices, and why they are hard to pin down
The Fridays pricing page lists more than one price for the same product. For compounded semaglutide it shows "Starting at $99", a $150 headline, $249 or $199 for month-to-month, and $279 a month on an annual plan. A "Signature Plans" block still reads "Save up to $xxx" [3]. We list every figure so you can see the spread.
| Product | Prices shown | Terms | Checked | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | From $99; $150/mo headline; $249/mo (footnote) or $199/mo (card) month-to-month; $279/mo annual | Promo codes claim $130 to $2,160 off prepaid 1- to 12-month plans | Oct 17 2026 | [3] |
| Compounded tirzepatide | From $198/mo (struck-through $240); $359/mo (footnote) or $199/mo (card) month-to-month; $389/mo annual | "Price locked in forever" is not defined; cancelling forfeits it | Oct 17 2026 | [3] |
| Wegovy pen or pill | $49 first month, medication not included; pill "as low as $98/mo" on a prepaid annual plan | Month-to-month | Oct 17 2026 | [3] |
| Zepbound | $1,828/mo | Month-to-month | Oct 17 2026 | [3] |
| Ozempic | $1,498/mo | Month-to-month; off-label for weight loss | Oct 17 2026 | [3] |
| Membership | Stated as $0 | A struck-through $249 membership appears beside $199 on brand cards, unexplained | Oct 17 2026 | [3] |
The brand prices stand out. Fridays lists Zepbound at $1,828 a month, while LillyDirect sells Zepbound self-pay at $299 to $449 a month depending on dose, with refills inside its 45-day window [7]. NovoCare sells the Wegovy pill at $149 to $299 a month by dose [8]. See Zepbound cost and Wegovy pill prices before you pay a reseller's markup.
Refund and cancellation terms
- "ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, including if you cancel mid-cycle." Exceptions are medical disqualification before service, a billing error, or where the law requires [5].
- Medicine that has been dispensed or shipped cannot be returned [5].
- You must cancel by email at least 72 hours before billing. Plans auto-renew, and promo pricing reverts to the standard rate [5].
- The terms contradict themselves on prorated refunds: one section says none, another says prorated refunds are available on request [5].
What the program includes
Fridays says membership covers unlimited provider visits, group coaching, a dietitian and the SESH fitness app [3]. It does not compound drugs itself and says so; it states that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are "produced in FDA-registered facilities" [3]. It links a partner pharmacy list rather than naming the pharmacy on the pricing page. Services may not be available in every state, and the excluded states are not listed on the pages we read [5].
FDA and BBB record
FDA: We found no warning letter to Fridays or to Thrive Health Group, Inc. [6]. Do not confuse it with Thrive Health and Wellness, LLC of Englewood, Colorado, which received an FDA letter on Feb 9 2026 that does not mention Fridays [4]. Our FDA warning letter tracker lists the GLP-1 sellers that did receive letters.
BBB: Fridays is rated F and not accredited. The profile cites failure to respond to 35 of 41 complaints [1]. The complaint log is larger: 72 in three years, 65 in the last 12 months, with 63 unanswered [2].
The themes in those complaints: charges people did not authorize or that came after cancelling, refunds refused or offered as a $50 credit, medicine filled by a different pharmacy or at a different dose, shipments missing or not kept cold, and chats and emails that went unanswered [2]. In two replies the company said the complaints were about "an unrelated company (JoinFridays.com)", but BBB lists JoinFridays.com and Fridays as this firm's own alternate names [2].
Trustpilot: 4.1 from 4,893 reviews on a profile claimed in January 2024. The negative reviews there echo the BBB themes: pharmacy switching and charges for doses that did not arrive [9].
How we reached Avoid
A BBB rating of D or F, or a pattern of billing and refund complaints, puts a provider in Avoid under our editorial standards. Fridays meets both. We have no affiliate link to Fridays.
Who might be tempted, and the better route
The low first-month offers and the $98 Wegovy pill promo are the draw. The catch is the prepaid annual plan behind that pill price and a no-refund policy if things go wrong [3] [5]. If you want the Wegovy pill or Zepbound, the makers' own self-pay programs publish fixed prices by dose. If you want compounded semaglutide, read compounded semaglutide: cost, legality and safety and compare the programs below.
Safety notes for any GLP-1
Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and FDA does not check them for safety, effectiveness or quality. FDA advises not using injectables that arrive warm [10]. The Wegovy label carries a boxed warning for thyroid C-cell tumors seen in rodents and lists acute pancreatitis among its warnings; severe stomach pain that will not go away needs prompt care [11]. For signs of a serious allergic reaction, call 911.
Programs to compare instead
Each of these is rated Clean or Caution. None has a confirmed BBB record yet: we could not check their BBB profiles, so the rating is not evidence of a good complaint history. Our online GLP-1 program comparison covers more options, and our ShedRx review covers another Avoid case.
