# Wholesome Clinic vs PlushCare

Every dose rung published against a price that changes once, after the starting dose.

By [This GLP Editorial Team](https://thisglp.com/about)

## Wholesome Clinic

Editorial

$159/mo

Wholesome Clinic publishes a dose ladder rather than a single figure for each product: compounded semaglutide starts at $159 a month in either form and climbs with each dose stage, while compounded tirzepatide runs $349 to $549 by injection and $249 to $349 as an oral. All four are self-pay. The service covers seven states.

For

-   Every dose rung published before you start
-   Oral tirzepatide below the injection
-   Self-pay terms stated plainly

Against

-   Seven states only
-   Price rises with the dose
-   Tirzepatide reaches $549 at the top rung

**Pick it for:** Readers in its seven states who want the climb priced

## PlushCare

Editorial

$149/mo

PlushCare advertises compounded semaglutide at $149 a month cash-pay, and states that the figure buys the 0.25 mg starting dose only; every dose from 0.5 mg to 2.4 mg costs more. Its compounded tirzepatide page now redirects to a Mounjaro page that quotes no compounded price. Insurance is accepted on a separate basis.

For

-   Says what the entry figure buys
-   Insurance accepted as a separate route
-   Prescription follows a clinician visit

Against

-   Maintenance doses cost $299 a month
-   No compounded tirzepatide price published

**Pick it for:** Readers who want a recognized brand and a flat price past the starting dose

## Our verdict

Wholesome Clinic prints every rung on every line. PlushCare prints two steps: $149 at the starting dose and one higher price above it. Both answer what month four costs; they differ in how finely the price steps.

## What actually separates them

Wholesome Clinic and PlushCare state different things about published price. Everything else they publish, they publish the same way.

Wholesome Clinic costs $10 more than PlushCare — 7% more for the same molecule. Whether that buys anything is what the rest of this page is for.

Over twelve months that is about $1,788 at PlushCare against $1,908 at Wholesome Clinic — a difference of $120.

## Before you choose either

Ask both sellers what dose the monthly price buys before you compare the two figures. A price is only a price once you know what quantity it is attached to, and a seller that will not answer has told you something. Set both against [every published price we hold](https://thisglp.com/best) rather than against each other alone.

Our take is computed from a [published rubric](https://thisglp.com/methodology) that does not read commercial status, and [what is known about safety](https://thisglp.com/research) applies to both of them equally.

**Research, not medical advice.** This GLP is independent and educational. Nothing here is a substitute for individualized care from a licensed clinician, and reading it creates no doctor–patient relationship. Talk to your own provider before starting, stopping, or changing any medication, peptide, or therapy. See our [methodology](https://thisglp.com/methodology) and [terms](https://thisglp.com/terms).
