Fridays review

Under every price on this site sit four words: "Paid annually, delivered monthly." The $117 and $150 and $198 in the headlines are what twelve months paid today works out to per month. If you would rather pay as you go — the sensible choice with a medication you may not tolerate — compounded semaglutide is $249 and tirzepatide $359, and to Fridays' credit both are printed. What is worth a second look is the "96.8% success rate" beside the before-and-after photos: the footnote says it measures deliveries.

Every medical claim is cited to its primary source — the clinical trial or the FDA label — so you can open it and check it yourself. No one on this team is your healthcare professional. What follows is friendly information, never medical advice.

Gentler first steps than Fridays

Providers to compare, with referral partners listed first. Placement and score are separate; some links earn MamaGLP a commission.

  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with advertised flat prices; clarify the offer and renewal rules before paying.

    Meet CoreAge Rx
  • $179/mo for either medication, flat across doses, with a genuinely gentle microdose tier — if you can live with an annual plan and a pharmacy it will not name.

    Meet Gala Health
  • From $119/mo semaglutide, $185/mo tirzepatide, fully asynchronous with free delivery — the real monthly price and the cancellation terms only appear after you sign up.

How we scored Fridays

Each factor is judged from Fridays's actual pricing, disclosures and support, then combined into the Mama-Match Score of 45/100 using the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never influenced by whether a provider pays us.

Honest, upfront pricing36/100 · Weak

The cost is unpredictable, hidden behind a quiz, or in the premium range.

Available nationwide22/100 · Weak

Coverage is limited or gated behind a signup.

Simple, fair cancellation26/100 · Weak

Canceling carries real friction — commitments, notice windows or non-refundable charges.

Gentle, easy start56/100 · Weak

The start feels transactional — more cash register than welcome.

Real clinician support58/100 · Weak

Little public detail about who oversees your care, and how.

Ongoing help & check-ins62/100 · Weak

Support is thin once the prescription ships.

How we verified this review

Last reviewed
August 2026
Confidence
Medium

Read from Fridays' own pricing page in August 2026. Every advertised price — $117, $150, $198, $240 — carries the note "Paid annually, delivered monthly", and the same page gives the month-to-month rate as $249 for compounded semaglutide and $359 for compounded tirzepatide. Brand-name Ozempic is $1,498 a month and Zepbound $1,828. The "96.8% success rate" is footnoted as internal shipping and fulfillment performance rather than a clinical result, and three plan cards still display an unfilled "Save up to $xxx" placeholder. Fridays does name its operating company, address and phone number in the footer.

What we like

  • It says who it really is: "Thrive Health, Inc. is the legal entity operating Fridays", with a street address and phone number in the footer
  • The month-to-month price is on the same page as the annual one, not hidden away
  • On the compounded plans, the membership, provider visits, coaching and shipping are all included
  • It also offers brand-name Ozempic and Zepbound, with the prices published

The caveats

  • Every advertised price requires twelve months paid up front; month to month it is $249 for semaglutide and $359 for tirzepatide
  • That "96.8% success rate" is not about weight loss: the site's own footnote calls it "internal fulfillment and delivery performance for paid orders" and says it "does not represent clinical outcomes"
  • The pricing page still shows an unfilled template placeholder — three cards read "Save up to $xxx", and all three charge $99/mo for plans of different lengths
  • The struck-through price for compounded semaglutide is $279 on one card and $249 on another
  • The top of the page says "4K+ review"; further down, the same page says "2,000+ reviews"
  • "No membership fees" holds only for the compounded plans — the brand-name track charges $49 the first month and about $98 a month after, medication excluded
  • Nowhere does it say which states it serves

Fridays for moms: our verdict

Under every price on this site sit four words: "Paid annually, delivered monthly." The $117 and $150 and $198 in the headlines are what twelve months paid today works out to per month. If you would rather pay as you go — the sensible choice with a medication you may not tolerate — compounded semaglutide is $249 and tirzepatide $359, and to Fridays' credit both are printed. What is worth a second look is the "96.8% success rate" beside the before-and-after photos: the footnote says it measures deliveries. It runs about $249/mo — pricier than the category, so the extras have to earn it.

We looked at Fridays the way moms actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start — the parts a generic weight-loss review skips.

What Fridays actually costs

  • Compounded semaglutide — Month to month: $249/mo
  • Compounded semaglutide — Prepaid annual plan: $150/mo
  • Compounded tirzepatide — Month to month: $359/mo
  • Compounded tirzepatide — Prepaid annual plan: $240/mo
  • Brand-name semaglutide — Ozempic, month to month: $1498/mo
  • Brand-name tirzepatide — Zepbound, month to month: $1828/mo

For context, the typical ongoing price on our list is around $177/mo, so Fridays sits at the pricier end.

That price covers the consult, the medication, shipping and coaching.

The medications Fridays prescribes

Fridays lists semaglutide and tirzepatide. Offering both gives a prescribing clinician options, but PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes alone does not establish which medication is right for you. It can point you toward FDA-approved brand-name medications as well as the compounded versions — approved products carry the manufacturer's own pregnancy and breastfeeding label, which is cleaner to hand to an OB-GYN.

If you prefer an option without needles, check the exact product offered. FDA-approved oral semaglutide tablets have their own clinical trials and prescribing labels. Compounded oral or sublingual products are different: they are not FDA-approved and cannot be assumed equivalent to an approved tablet or injection. Ask the clinician about the formulation, evidence and instructions.

Where it operates. Fridays lists its coverage as: Not published on the site.

Where Fridays fits — and where it doesn't — for moms

A good fit if…

  • you want a real clinician who reads your history with the right timing around pregnancy and nursing in mind, not a questionnaire that approves you automatically.
  • you want to discuss both semaglutide and tirzepatide with your prescribing clinician.

Look elsewhere if…

  • you need to bill insurance — like almost all of this market, it's cash-pay.

Trust, safety and oversight

Our confidence is moderate — the core data holds up, but some details (state availability, program mechanics) aren't fully public. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formula — we explain how we score oversight in our scoring methodology.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding need separate discussions with your clinician. GLP-1 weight-loss treatment is not recommended during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, the exact drug and formulation matter: Wegovy tablets are not recommended because of the SNAC absorption ingredient. Injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide labels call for weighing benefits, risks and the limits of infant-safety data; they do not establish that treatment is safe for every nursing parent. Compounded products do not inherit FDA approval from the branded drug. Discuss your own medication and timing before starting or changing treatment.

The bottom line

Fridays is a reasonable option — weigh it on the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start against the alternatives below. For moms comparing another compounded offer, CoreAge Rx describes prices and terms to confirm for the selected dose and plan.

The bottom line

Best for: A budget that can genuinely absorb twelve months in one charge, after reading the refund policy.

Is Fridays safe to use while breastfeeding?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding need separate discussions with your clinician. GLP-1 weight-loss treatment is not recommended during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, the exact drug and formulation matter: Wegovy tablets are not recommended because of the SNAC absorption ingredient.

Compounded products do not inherit FDA approval from the branded drug. Discuss your own medication and timing before starting or changing treatment.
Does Fridays offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Yes — Fridays offers both. The choice depends on the exact product, your medical history and your clinician’s assessment; PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes alone does not make one medication the preferred treatment.
