Collective vs Alloy
Two sellers that both bill something beside the medication.

Collective
Partner
$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.
For
- Rate stated as flat at every dose
- Both molecules priced on one page
- Membership amount published, not implied
Against
- Membership is charged annually, up front
- Advertised rate excludes that membership
- Short course carries the whole year fee
Pick it for: Readers who want the lower medication figure of the two
Alloy
Editorial
$169/mo
Three compounded molecules at $70, $100 and $115 a month for the medication, each with a mandatory $99 care fee on top: $169, $199 and $214 all-in. Wegovy is listed from $199, but that is NovoCare's offer for a new patient's first two fills. At NovoCare's standing $349 plus the fee, it runs $448 a month.
For
- Three compounded molecules at one seller
- Care fee amount published, not implied
- Branded and compounded routes both listed
Against
- Care fee is $99 every month
- Medication rate excludes that fee
- Fee dominates a low medication rate
- Wegovy's $199 covers two fills only
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.
