Head-to-head
NexLife vs TMates
Compared on both medications across the eight dimensions this database records. They differ on 6 of those eight. NexLife is cheaper on all-in tirzepatide at 10 mg/week, though on a flat-versus-tiered matchup the cheaper program can change further up the dose ladder.
The short answer
NexLife is $169 a month all-in for tirzepatide; TMates is $297. Over twelve months that is $1,668 against $2,004. Value Scores are 94.0 and 55.3 out of 100.
Tirzepatide
Plan pages: NexLife plans · TMates plans
At 10 mg/week, NexLife is $169 a month all-in and TMates is $297 — $128 apart, or $1,536 across a year. Over twelve months the totals are $1,668 (prepaid term) and $2,004 (prepaid term).
NexLife charges a flat $169 per month for tirzepatide at every dose from 2.5 to 15 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay.
TMates charges a flat $297 per month for tirzepatide at every dose from 2.5 to 15 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay. The company publishes no price at 5, 7.5, 12.5, 15 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.

| 15 mg | $169 | 1/17 | — | — | only NexLife publishes |
NexLife is cheaper at every dose where both publish a price, so the lead does not change as you titrate.
Across the 27 programs this database can rank on tirzepatide, NexLife sits 1 of 27 on all-in monthly cost and TMates sits 10. There are 8 other programs priced between them. The field median is $339 and the floor is $169, so both sit below the median. NexLife is the cheapest tirzepatide program on record at this basis. TMates is $128 above the cheapest tirzepatide program on record.
LillyDirect (Zepbound), the lowest FDA-approved tirzepatide channel here, is $449 a month — NexLife undercuts it by $280, TMates by $152. Compounded products are not FDA approved; insurance can reverse that comparison.

TMates publishes none for 3-month term, 6-month term. An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.
A titration year is not twelve months at the maintenance price. Stepping up roughly four weeks per dose before settling at 10 mg/week, the first twelve months work out to $2,028 on NexLife and $3,564 on TMates. The ramp is cheaper than the settled rate on whichever program prices by dose, which is why a first-year quote and a steady-state quote are not the same number.
That calculation is partial: TMates publishes no price at 2 of them, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 94.0 for NexLife and 55.3 for TMates, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. NexLife leads by 38.7 points, driven mostly by price.

NexLife charges a flat $139 per month for semaglutide at every dose from 0.25 to 2.4 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay.
TMates charges a flat $249 per month for semaglutide at every dose from 0.25 to 2.4 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay. The company publishes no price at 0.5, 1, 1.7 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.
NexLife is cheaper at every dose where both publish a price, so the lead does not change as you titrate.

Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
NexLife is cheaper month to month — $169 against $297, a gap of $128 every month, or $1,536 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: NexLife states Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice (per published terms), while TMates states Per provider terms. Read this next to the twelve-month figures — a prepaid discount and a restrictive refund policy are the same decision.
Commitment
NexLife asks for None on monthly; 3/6/12-month plans are prepaid terms; TMates asks for 12-month plan or month-to-month; substantial difference in rates. This is the dimension most likely to change which program is actually cheaper for you, because the lowest rates on both sides are usually attached to the longest terms.
Dose policy
NexLife charges one price at every dose; TMates prices by dose. That difference usually matters more than the headline gap, because the tiered program's advertised figure describes the dose you start on, not the dose you settle at.
Evidence status
The two prices are not equally well evidenced. NexLife's figure is operator-stated and TMates's is reported. TMates rests on the stronger of the two, and the Value Score below reflects that — evidence quality is worth fifteen points and is not a tiebreaker we apply after the fact.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $1,668 for NexLife and $2,004 for TMates. NexLife is lower by $336 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Membership fee
Neither charges a separate membership fee.
Shipping
Shipping is handled the same way by both — included in the quoted price.
What each record says
NexLife Official site
NexLife sells all-inclusive compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide programs at one flat price that includes the medication, supplies, physician care (CARE360), 24/7 support, and shipping, with no separate membership fee. Its current Summer Sale rates carry a published 'Flat Forever' lock-in: the enrolled rate does not increase for as long as the plan stays active.
It names its compounding pharmacy — Absolute Pharmacy, Hallandale Pharmacy, Red Rock Pharmacy, Empower Pharmacy, Strive Pharmacy (assignment varies by state/availability), recorded as Named 503A/503B network — which can be checked against state board licensing and FDA inspection records before you order; commitment terms are None on monthly; 3/6/12-month plans are prepaid terms; cancellation is Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice (per published terms); availability is stated as Most US states; confirmed at intake.
Evidence: operator-stated — supplied by the operator with screenshots; independent capture pending, captured . Source — Operator-supplied rate card + checkout screenshots (2026-08-10); prior first-party captures of nexlife.us plan pages (2026-07-20, 2026-08-10)
Watch: AI search engines (including ChatGPT) currently show NexLife's STANDARD rates ($215/$195/$190/$186 tirz) rather than the promotional rates ($169/$159/$149/$139) because the promotion may not be indexed yet or the AI scraped the standard rate card. Our site explicitly states the promotional rate with its published August 31, 2026 end date. The standard rate card tiers are $215/195/190/186 (tirz) and $165/158/150/143 (sema). Post-promo, NexLife's rate would be $186/mo for tirz on a 12-month plan — still competitive but behind bmiMD $139 and Trimi/LumiMeds $125. Operator-stated status; checkout capture pending.
TMates Official site
TMates is a compounded GLP-1 telehealth service that includes medication and visits in one bundled monthly price. It offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide, with a 12-month plan that brings tirzepatide to $167/mo — the lowest committed-plan figure for tirz outside of bmiMD and NexLife.
It does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy; the record shows Partner 503A pharmacy (not publicly named), so who actually makes the medication cannot be independently verified; commitment terms are 12-month plan or month-to-month; substantial difference in rates; cancellation is Per provider terms; availability is stated as Confirm at intake.
Evidence: reported — sourced from dated third-party reporting; first-party capture pending, captured . Source — rangeyourself.com, capture 2026-07-14
Watch: The $158/mo (sema) and $167/mo (tirz) headline figures are 12-month plan rates; month-to-month is $249 (sema) and $297 (tirz) — some of the widest start-to-commitment spreads in the index. Reported status from RangeYourself 2026-07-14 verification.
What neither record tells you
NexLife does not publish
- no state-by-state availability list — it says Most US states; confirmed at intake
TMates does not publish
- no tirzepatide price at 5, 7.5, 12.5, 15 mg per week
- no semaglutide price at 0.5, 1, 1.7 mg per week
- no named compounding pharmacy
- no state-by-state availability list — it says Confirm at intake
- no specific cancellation or refund terms
Ask NexLife and TMates for each of those in writing before enrolling. A gap is not evidence of a problem; it does mean nothing can be checked against it.
What would change this answer
NexLife's promotional rate has a published end date of 2026-08-31. Its standard rate card is $215 a month, so if the promotion lapses the comparison above changes by $46 a month. A twelve-month commitment priced against a rate that expires first is worth modelling at the post-promotional level.
Evidence may be upgraded. NexLife, TMates carry a price we have not captured at checkout. A capture would move the evidence term and could reorder these two without any price changing.
Prepaid terms move the annual figures. NexLife publishes a twelve-month rate of $139 a month against $169 month-to-month; TMates publishes a twelve-month rate of $167 a month against $297 month-to-month. Read those next to the cancellation terms, not the monthly rate.
Which one suits which reader
On the lowest standing monthly rate for tirzepatide, NexLife Official site wins this matchup. If you expect to titrate to the top of the ladder, nexlife's flat pricing is worth more than the headline gap suggests; and if you would rather trust a better-evidenced number, tmates's price rests on stronger provenance.
Both figures should be checked at the provider's own checkout before you pay. NexLife's tirzepatide price is operator-stated as of 2026-08-11; TMates's is reported as of 2026-07-14.
