Effecty sells both molecules by injection. Both rates are stated flat across doses. Fifty states are covered.

1.  ## Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
    
    A prescription precedes shipping. The pages describe plans, not clinicians. The intake is not documented.
    
    The structure is a ladder, not one plan. A reader picks a term. Each longer term lowers the monthly figure.
    
2.  ## What happens when the dose goes up?
    
    Both rows are flat, so the rate holds as the dose rises. Nothing describes what a clinician reviews at a dose increase. The price question is answered and the care question is not.
    
3.  ## What the price includes
    
    Semaglutide is $170 billed monthly, $150 on three months, $140 on six and $130 on twelve. A year is $2,040 month to month or $1,560 billed yearly. Tirzepatide is $235 billed monthly, or $2,820 a year. Its longer terms are cheaper per month too.
    
4.  ## What it claims, and what it cites
    
    Both lines are compounded. A pharmacy prepares them. The FDA does not review them before dispensing. No pharmacy is named.
    

## Where it holds up, and where it does not

-   Strength: Flat across doses on both molecules
-   Strength: Coverage in all fifty states
-   Strength: Four plan lengths published on semaglutide
-   Limitation: The lowest rate needs a year billed at once
-   Limitation: Monthly billing is the dearest rung
-   Limitation: No compounding pharmacy is named

## What the evidence says about this kind of treatment

The assessment above is about Effecty. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.

Right for

A reader ready to commit a year and wanting the rate fixed across it.

Wrong for

A reader expecting the yearly rate on a monthly bill.

## The evidence behind what Effecty prescribes

These studies examine the medicines, not this provider. Results with approved products do not establish the quality or effectiveness of a seller’s compounded formulation.

-   [Cochrane Review of Semaglutide for Obesity: 18 Trials Graded](https://thisglp.com/research/semaglutide-cochrane-review)
    
    A 2025 Cochrane review pooled eighteen randomized trials. The weight figure is high certainty and smaller than the marketing, and almost everything else is graded lower.
    
-   [Tirzepatide vs Semaglutide: Which Works Better for Weight Loss?](https://thisglp.com/research/tirzepatide-vs-semaglutide-which-works-better)
    
    In a 72-week randomized trial at weight-management doses, weight fell 20.2 percent on tirzepatide and 13.7 percent on semaglutide. Routine-care studies found a smaller gap, three to four points.

Is Effecty legit?

Effecty is a GLP-1 telehealth sellers service. Its stated availability: All 50 states. What our record does not establish: whether it bills insurance and how its intake works. Ask for those in writing before you pay.

Is Effecty expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?

Effecty publishes a starting figure of $170/mo. Across the 402 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $525.42 with a median of $190, which puts Effecty below the median, toward the cheaper end. The other 178 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
