Collective vs Alloy

Two sellers that both bill something beside the medication.

By Dana SullivanEvidence reviewer

Collective

Editorial

$76/mo

Collective advertises $59 a month for compounded semaglutide and $69 for compounded tirzepatide, and charges a $199 annual membership beside both. Added together, a first year of semaglutide comes to $907, or $76 a month. The rate is stated as holding at every dose.

Pick it for: Readers who want the lower medication figure of the two

Alloy

Editorial

$169/mo

Alloy charges $70 a month for compounded semaglutide, $100 for compounded tirzepatide and $115 for compounded liraglutide, and a $99 monthly care fee alongside each of them. That makes the figures a reader actually pays $169, $199 and $214. Branded semaglutide starts at $199 for the medication, or $298 with the fee.

Pick it for: Readers who want Alloy's program and treat the fee as part of it

Our verdict

Collective bills a membership separately and Alloy bills a required fee. Neither headline is what a buyer pays, and both sellers say so on their own pages.

What actually separates them

Collective and Alloy state different things about published price. Everything else they publish, they publish the same way.

Alloy costs $93 more than Collective — 122% more for the same molecule. Whether that buys anything is what the rest of this page is for.

Over twelve months that is about $912 at Collective against $2,028 at Alloy — a difference of $1,116.

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 rather than against each other alone.

Our take is computed from a published rubric that does not read commercial status, and what is known about safety applies to both of them equally.
