Claya vs Yucca Health
Both do something almost no compounded program bothers with: give you a way to verify what you're actually being sold. They just pick different ways to do it.

Claya
Names its partner pharmacies publicly and bundles labs into the subscription
Yucca Health
Compounded GLP-1s with a certificate of analysis available on request
Head-to-Head Comparison
| Feature | Claya | Yucca Health |
|---|---|---|
| Overall rating | 3.4/5 | 4.6/5 |
| Medications offered | Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide | Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide |
| Brand-name or compounded | Compounded only. Claya's own site carries an unusually careful disclosure noting that the clinical trials behind Wegovy and Mounjaro evaluated only the manufacturer-developed FDA-approved products and did not assess compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide. | Compounded only. Yucca offers compounded semaglutide (GLP-1) and compounded tirzepatide (GLP-1 + GIP), fulfilled by state-licensed pharmacies. There is no brand-name pathway. |
| Membership fee | Claya charges a single subscription price rather than splitting membership from medication. Semaglutide starts at $179 per month and tirzepatide at $279 per month, with a $100 first-month discount code advertised on its site. The homepage also advertises treatment 'as low as $149/mo' — confirm which plan that rate applies to before enrolling. | No separate membership fee is advertised. Semaglutide plans start at $125 per month on the six-month plan ($750 total), with the month-to-month plan at $146 per month. Tirzepatide is advertised from $225 per month. |
| Medication cost | Included in the subscription price. Claya states the single price may cover consultations, provider reviews, pharmacy-fulfilled medication, lab services, care support, and the 24/7 support line, and that what is covered can vary. | Included in the plan price. Confirm whether your monthly cost changes as your dose escalates, since Yucca does not state a flat-price-across-doses policy the way some competitors do. |
| Insurance | Not accepted. Claya states no insurance is required; compounded medication is never covered by insurance. | Not accepted. Yucca states no insurance is required; compounded medication is never covered by insurance. |
| HSA/FSA | Not documented on Claya's public pages. Ask directly before assuming HSA and FSA cards are accepted. | Not documented on Yucca's public pages. Ask directly before assuming HSA and FSA cards are accepted. |
| Lab requirements | Lab services are explicitly listed as included in the subscription price, which is unusual — most programs either skip labs entirely or bill them separately. Claya notes that which services, labs, and medications are covered can vary. | Not published. Ask what your provider will require and whether recent labs from your own physician are accepted. |
| Shipping | Claya advertises same-day shipping if you are prescribed, with fast and discreet delivery. Refills follow your subscription cycle. | Free expedited two-day shipping is included. Shipment cadence follows your plan length. |
| Cancellation | You may cancel at any time, but Claya requires the cancellation request at least two days before your billing date. Miss that window and you are charged for the next cycle, with cancellation taking effect the cycle after. You continue to receive services through the end of the paid billing cycle. Cancel by emailing support@claya.com or through your online account. | Not published on Yucca's public pages. Request the terms in writing before committing to a multi-month plan. |
The Verdict
Yucca Health is the better default. It costs meaningfully less — $125 against $179 for semaglutide, $225 against $279 for tirzepatide — includes free two-day expedited shipping, and has a real public review record at 4.6 across more than 1,200 Trustpilot reviews. Its transparency offering, a certificate of analysis on request, tells you what is in the vial you received. Claya's transparency is structural instead: it names RedRock Pharmacy and Healthware House openly with addresses and phone numbers, includes lab services in the subscription, and publishes genuinely detailed cancellation and refund terms. That's worth paying for if knowing and being able to call your pharmacy matters to you. But Claya's public review base is only 21 reviews, which tells you almost nothing, and its refund window closes the moment medication is ordered.

| Tirzepatide from | $279/month | $225/month |
| Pharmacy disclosure | Names RedRock Pharmacy and Healthware House with addresses | Not named |
| Product documentation | Not offered | Certificate of analysis on request |
| Labs | Included in subscription price | Not published |
| Shipping | Same-day when prescribed | Free expedited two-day |
| Cancellation terms | Published — 2 days' notice before billing | Not published |
| Refund terms | Published — none once medication is ordered | Not published |
| Public reviews | 3.4 across only 21 Trustpilot reviews | 4.6 across 1,217 Trustpilot reviews |
The ratings problem on both sides
Claya's own site advertises 4.8/5 from 12,500+ patients, while its independent Trustpilot score is 3.4 across 21 reviews. Neither number is useful: the first is internal and unverifiable, the second is too small a sample.
Yucca's 4.6 across more than 1,200 reviews is the only figure here with enough volume behind it to mean something.
Ask both the same question
Does my monthly price change as my dose escalates? Neither publishes an answer, and on a long tirzepatide titration that single fact can outweigh the entire price difference between them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is cheaper?
Yucca Health, by a clear margin — $125 against $179 for semaglutide on their best plans, and $225 against $279 for tirzepatide.
Why does Claya naming its pharmacies matter?
Compounded drugs are not FDA-reviewed, so oversight attaches to the pharmacy rather than the product. Knowing which pharmacy made your medication — and being able to call it — is the main way to verify anything about it. Almost no compounded program discloses this.
What is a certificate of analysis?
Documentation of what a batch actually contains. Yucca provides one on request. It answers a different question than Claya's disclosure: not who made it, but what is in it.
Which has better refund terms?
Claya publishes its terms, which is better than not publishing them — but the terms themselves are strict: no refund once medication has been ordered, and never for past billing cycles. Yucca publishes nothing, so you must ask.
