Fridays review
Graded on whether a price is published, checkable, and still true at month two — how we grade · how we verify prices
Fridays prices Ozempic at $1498 a month and labels it a month-to-month plan. Its compounded semaglutide is $117 — but only on an annual plan with a promo code.
Both are annual-plan rates and the lower one needs the promo code the card names, so there is no month-to-month compounded price on the page at all.

The verdict
Its brand prices are the honest ones: a real monthly figure, labeled as such. Its compounded prices are annual-plan rates with a code attached, and a membership fee that excludes the medication sits in the same row of cards as both.

Pros and cons
What we like
- Brand Ozempic and Zepbound carry a cash price and the card says it is a month-to-month plan.
- The struck-through comparison prices are shown rather than merely implied, so the size of the discount is legible.
- The promo code each discount requires is printed on the card rather than left to a checkout surprise.
- The clinical provider group is named, and so is California law.
- Its inclusions are itemized on every card: unlimited provider visits, coaching and dietitian support.
- Pharmacy partners are named with addresses in the terms.
- The cancellation deadline is stated as a number of hours rather than left vague.
What could be better
- No month-to-month price is published for either compounded medication.
- Both compounded prices require an annual plan and a promo code.
- A membership fee that excludes the medication is styled identically to the medication prices beside it.
- The exclusion is carried by two abbreviated words in the smallest type on the card.
- The same Irvine street address appears under three different ZIP codes in the terms.
- Two corporate names are used for the same company across the footer and the terms.
- A late cancellation takes effect only at the end of the following billing cycle.
What it is
Fridays sells GLP-1 weight loss across both halves of the market — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one hand, brand Ozempic, Zepbound and Wegovy on the other — plus microdosing, longevity and testosterone lines. Its pitch leans on what is included: unlimited provider visits, nutrition and mental-health coaching, and a dietitian. The split matters: compounded and brand GLP-1s are different products in different categories.
Its documents name Thrive Health, Inc. in the footer copyright and Thrive Health Group Inc in the terms, with clinical care provided by OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC. California law is named. Its Irvine street address is printed three times in the terms under three different ZIP codes, which is the kind of small carelessness worth noticing in a document that also tells you where to serve legal notice.

What it actually costs
Two figures here are real monthly prices and say so on the card: Ozempic at $1498 and Zepbound at $1828, each tagged "Month-to-month plan".
That deserves credit. Brand GLP-1 pricing is where sellers most often retreat into "depends on your insurance", and Fridays instead prints a number and labels the billing term. It offers insurance support alongside, but the cash figure is there to be compared.
The compounded prices are not month-to-month. $117 for semaglutide and $198 for tirzepatide are annual-plan rates that each require a promo code the card names.
Each compounded card shows the live figure large, a struck-through figure small beneath it — $279 and $389 — and a line reading "SAVE 58% use code NYNY12" or "SAVE 50% use code NEWYOU12". We measured which figure was struck rather than guessing from the text order, because plain text loses the strikethrough and getting it backwards would invert the whole story. The struck ones are the higher pair. Both the live and the struck figures are described on the card as annual-plan rates, so no month-to-month compounded price appears on the pricing page at all: the only way to pay $117 is to buy a year.
In the same row sits "Wegovy® Pill — Starting Membership $49 / First month, meds excl." A $49 that explicitly buys no medicine is styled exactly like the $1498 that does.
Its footnote says the $49 covers the first month and then rises, again on a prepaid annual plan, and the words "meds excl." carry the entire weight of the distinction. A shopper reading a row of four price cards sees $49, $98, $1498 and $1828 and has to notice three small words to understand that two of those figures are memberships and two are medication. That is the single most consequential thing on the page and it is the smallest type on it. See what a telehealth membership actually buys.
Canceling is a request with a deadline: the terms ask for it at least 72 hours before the next scheduled billing date, through the online account where available, and say that a later request takes effect only at the end of the following cycle.
Who it's wrong for
- Anyone who wants compounded medication month to month. Every compounded figure on the pricing page is an annual-plan rate.
- Anyone who does not want to hunt for a promo code. Both compounded prices require one, named on the card.
- Anyone reading a row of price cards as a like-for-like list. Two of the cards are memberships that exclude the medication.
- Anyone who needs to cancel quickly. The request must land at least 72 hours before the next billing date or it takes effect a cycle later.
- Anyone who wants one address for the company. The terms print the same street under three different ZIP codes.
Is Fridays legit?
Fridays is operated by Thrive Health, Inc. (the terms also use Thrive Health Group Inc), 17322 Murphy Ave, Irvine, CA 92614. We read that off the company’s own terms and conditions on September 2026.
What that means
A known-positive control passed in the same run, so a real match would have surfaced. A letter would be worth knowing about; it would not by itself disqualify a seller.Pharmacy, prescribers and safety checks

Common questions
How much does Fridays charge for compounded semaglutide?
The card says $117 a month, with $279 struck through beside it. Both are annual-plan rates, and the lower one requires the promo code printed on the card, so no month-to-month compounded price appears on the pricing page.
Does Fridays publish a month-to-month price?
For its brand medications, yes: Ozempic at $1498 and Zepbound at $1828 are both tagged "Month-to-month plan" on the card. For its compounded medications, no — every compounded figure on the page is an annual-plan rate.
What is the Fridays membership fee?
Two cards in its price row are memberships rather than medication. The card states a first-month membership price followed by "meds excl.", meaning the medication is bought separately and is not covered by that figure at all.
Which company is behind Fridays?
Its footer names Thrive Health, Inc. and its terms name Thrive Health Group Inc, with clinical care by OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC. California law is named, and its Irvine address is printed under three different ZIP codes.
How do I cancel Fridays?
Through the online account where available, at least 72 hours before your next scheduled billing date. Its terms say that if the request arrives later, the subscription renews and the cancellation takes effect at the end of that next cycle.
Why we gave Fridays a C
Read the full grading rationale
Fridays prints a month-to-month price for its brand medications and says so on the card — $1,498 for Ozempic and $1,828 for Zepbound, both tagged "Month-to-month plan" — and that is more than most sellers of brand GLP-1s will commit to. Its compounded prices are a different story. The card says $117 a month for semaglutide and $198 for tirzepatide; those are the live figures, struck through beside them are $279 and $389, and both live figures require an annual plan and a promo code the card names. No month-to-month compounded rate appears anywhere on the pricing page, so the only way to pay $117 is to buy a year. In the same row of price cards sits a third kind of number entirely: "Wegovy® Pill — Starting Membership $49 / First month, meds excl." A $49 that explicitly buys no medication is styled identically to a $1,498 that does. Its documents name Thrive Health, Inc., Thrive Health Group Inc and OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC, and give California law — but print the same Irvine street address under three different ZIP codes across the terms.
What that means
Screening is by entity — the company’s own domain plus the address it publishes — never by brand name, because a brand name matches every namesake. Where a company publishes no address, the address half of that match is never exercised, and the result is recorded as the weaker kind of absence rather than a clean record. A known-positive control passed in the same run, so a real match would have surfaced. A letter would be worth knowing about; it would not by itself disqualify a seller.How we reviewed Fridays
- We read four pages in full on the same day: its pricing page, its testosterone page, its terms and conditions and its privacy policy.
- We measured which price on each compounded card was struck through, by reading the computed styling of the rendered elements rather than the order the text appears in, because plain text loses a strikethrough and reading it backwards would have inverted the finding.
- We noted that the page's markup holds a second, hidden pair of compounded prices and recorded only the pair a visitor actually sees.
- We read the abbreviation on the membership cards rather than skipping it, which is what distinguishes those cards from the medication cards beside them.
- The FDA warning-letter screen ran on the company's own domain and one of its three published address variants, with a known-positive and a known-negative control passing in the same run, and returned no candidate letters.
