Mama-Match
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.

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.
The cost is unpredictable, hidden behind a quiz, or in the premium range.
Coverage is limited or gated behind a signup.
Canceling carries real friction — commitments, notice windows or non-refundable charges.
The start feels transactional — more cash register than welcome.
Little public detail about who oversees your care, and how.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
How we verified this review
- Last reviewed
- August 2026
- Confidence
- Medium
- Primary source
- joinfridays.com/pricing
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 $179/mo, so Fridays sits at the pricier end.
That price covers the consult, the medication, shipping and coaching.
The medications Fridays prescribes
Fridays prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two molecules with the strongest published weight-loss results, and having both on one account matters when insulin resistance (common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes) makes tirzepatide the better fit. It can point you toward FDA-approved brand-name pens 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.
There's a needle-free oral or sublingual option on the menu, which appeals to moms who have been putting off injections — just set your expectations: oral and buccal delivery of these peptides is far less studied than the injectable versions used in the trials.

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 may need to switch between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and your hormones change.
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.
A standing caution for moms: GLP-1 medications are not proven safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against use. None of this changes that — plan the timing with your own healthcare provider.
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 most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the best choice overall — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line
Best for: A budget that can genuinely absorb twelve months in one charge, after reading the refund policy.

Fridays, answered
- How much does Fridays cost?
- As of our last review, Fridays's compounded pricing starts around $249/mo ($249/mo on the month-to-month plan semaglutide, $359/mo on the month-to-month plan tirzepatide). Confirm the current all-in price on Fridays's site before you commit.
- Is Fridays safe to use while breastfeeding?
- Here is the honest answer: no GLP-1 — compounded or brand-name — is established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use; Fridays is no exception. Plan any GLP-1 for after weaning, and talk the timing through with your own clinician.
- Does Fridays offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — Fridays offers both. Tirzepatide's dual action is often preferred when insulin resistance is driving the weight, which matters with PCOS and after gestational diabetes.
- Where does Fridays land in your ranking?
- Fridays scores 45/100 on our Mama-Match Score (rank #247), which weights six things that matter to a first-timer. Our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, leads the ranking — see how they compare.
