Effecty
No verdict has been issued yet.
This is a neutral factual record. Effecty (effecty.com) is a direct-to-consumer telehealth brand operated by Effecty LLC, a New York-based company incorporated on 11/19/2024 per its BBB profile (which lists 157 Columbus Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10023). It sells compounded GLP-1 injections (marketed as "Compounded GLP-1" from $145 to $195 per month and "Compounded GLP-1 + GIP" from $220 to $275 per month, price falling with longer plan commitments, plus discounted first months), brand-name GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound at $1,300 to $1,600 per month), metformin, and separate longevity and hormone-therapy lines. Care is delivered asynchronously through the Bask Health Inc. platform with Beluga Health, P.A. as the medical group; the dispensing compounding pharmacies are not named publicly. The site states GLP-1s ship "to all states nationwide." Per its Terms (last revised 1/13/2026), all sales are final, subscriptions auto-renew roughly every 28-30 days, governing law is Delaware, and disputes go to binding individual AAA arbitration in New York. Third-party record: a BBB profile with a B rating, no accreditation, and 3 complaints; a Trustpilot profile exists at trustpilot.com/review/effecty.com (numbers not recorded here); located press coverage is promotional in character (e.g., a Daily Beast piece titled "Effecty Makes Accessing GLP-1s Simple, Straightforward, and Affordable"). No FDA action, lawsuit, or state attorney-general action specific to Effecty was located as of the access date; given the brand's newness (incorporated late 2024), thin third-party coverage is recorded honestly rather than inferred.

What checks out
What to watch
- Wasef Health
- “the health care provider employed by or contracted with Wasef Health P.A. or similar affiliated professional entities”From Effecty's own page.
A contract medical group serves many brands at once. Your prescriber answers to the vendor's protocols and staffing, not to the clinic you pay — and if the brand switches vendors, your care relationship goes with it. It does not by itself disqualify a clinic, but it weighs against the verdict.
- Score
- 4.5 / 5 across 857 reviews (trailing 12 months)
- Review source
- 75% organic (unprompted) · 25% verified or invited (company-sent, post-transaction)OrganicVerified / invited
75% of this company's Trustpilot reviews are organic (unprompted), above our 40% threshold. Verified and invited reviews both require a real completed transaction and the company choosing to send the invite, which makes them hard to fabricate at scale. A heavy skew toward organic, unprompted reviews is a known review-manipulation vector — it does not by itself disqualify a clinic, but it weighs against the verdict. See how we weigh this.
- Legal entity
- Effecty LLC
- Notes
- Publishes no address on its own site; the BBB profile's 274 Bay Ridge Pkwy, Brooklyn address is a residential-block location the company itself never lists. Delaware governing law, New York arbitration. On the Do Not Buy list under the corporate-address criterion (2026-07-23).
Who fills your prescription
Effecty describes itself as a technology platform, not a medical practice or pharmacy. Per its consent-to-telehealth document, the platform runs on Bask Health Inc. infrastructure and clinical care is delivered by Beluga Health, P.A., an independent medical group, via asynchronous (chat/questionnaire-based) telehealth. Its site states that if medication is prescribed it is dispensed by state-licensed pharmacies, including compounding pharmacies; the Terms refer only to an unnamed "Effecty Pharmacy Network." No compounding pharmacy partner is named anywhere on the public site reviewed (homepage, Terms, FAQ, shipping policy, product pages).
Partner pharmacies have not yet been profiled. Each named partner must clear the pharmacy gate independently before this clinic stays on the index.
What it's actually like
Pricing (per effecty.com): the weight-loss line is sold on plan-length tiers where the monthly price drops with longer commitments. "Compounded GLP-1" injection: $195/mo on a 1-month plan, $175/mo (3-month), $155/mo (6-month), $145/mo (12-month), with promotional first months of $95/$75/$55/$45 respectively. "Compounded GLP-1 + GIP" injection: $275/$250/$235/$220 per month by the same tiers, first months $175/$150/$135/$120. Notably, the product pages market these only as "Compounded GLP-1" and "Compounded GLP-1 + GIP" without naming the active ingredients (semaglutide and tirzepatide are the standard compounds matching those descriptions, but Effecty's weight-loss pages reviewed do not say so). Brand-name options are listed at $1,300/mo (Ozempic, Mounjaro), $1,400/mo (Zepbound), and $1,600/mo (Wegovy); metformin is $80/mo. The company also sells longevity products (NAD+ injection and nasal spray, sermorelin, glutathione, MIC+B12) and women's hormone therapy (estradiol patch/cream/tablet). The site advertises no hidden fees, free expedited shipping, and no insurance accepted. Intake: a health intake questionnaire followed by a chat-based, asynchronous telehealth consultation; the consent-to-telehealth document states all visits are asynchronous (SMS/MMS messaging plus store-and-forward questionnaires) unless state law requires a synchronous visit, with care provided via Bask Health Inc.'s platform by Beluga Health, P.A. practitioners described as board-certified physicians licensed in the patient's state. The FAQ describes 24/7 chat access to providers. Pharmacy chain: not disclosed — the site says only that it "works with state-licensed compounding pharmacies for treatment fulfillment" and the Terms reference an unnamed "Effecty Pharmacy Network." States: the site states "For GLP-1's, effecty ships within the USA to all states nationwide"; no excluded states are listed, so all-50 coverage is recorded as claimed by the company. Refund/cancel/refill: subscriptions bill automatically about every 28-30 days. The Terms state "all sales are final" and that subscription fees paid before cancellation are non-refundable; the shipping policy repeats that prescription products cannot be returned and all sales are final. The FAQ says a subscription can be cancelled for any medication not yet sent to the pharmacy for fulfillment; once sent, cancellation applies only to future shipments. No money-back guarantee was found. Cancellation is by email (hello@effecty.com) or through the account. Governing law and disputes: Delaware law governs; disputes are resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in New York, New York under American Arbitration Association rules with a class-action waiver; no opt-out mechanism was found in the Terms reviewed (last revised 1/13/2026). Third-party record: BBB shows Effecty LLC incorporated 11/19/2024, about 1 year in business, not BBB accredited, a B rating, and 3 complaints; one customer review on the profile alleges a $750 charge for an incorrectly ordered GLP medication with no callback over 3 weeks. A Trustpilot profile exists for effecty.com. No FDA warning letter, enforcement action, lawsuit, or attorney-general action naming Effecty was located as of the access date.
