Gala review
Gala (legal entity AI Coaching Inc., d/b/a Gala GLP-1) is a Delaware-incorporated telehealth platform selling compounded GLP-1/GIP (tirzepatide) on a yearly subscription, a lower-priced microdosing version of the same protocol, and brand-name Ozempic.

The verdict
Gala prints its price before the medical intake, which is the entry condition rather than the finish, and gives some of it back on the rest of the question — what the advertised figure is attached to, or who fills the prescription. It lands at 22 of 35.
The number beside Gala's name answers one question — can you find out what this costs before you hand over your medical history? — and it is dominated by that. A program is credited for naming the pharmacies that compound its medicine and for publishing a certification credential, and docked when the advertised rate needs a commitment, when a second fee sits outside it, when the seller's own terms say the published figure is not what it will charge, and when the FDA has a warning letter on file. What the price turns out to be is not an input at all, which is why a cheaper program can sit below a dearer one here.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
You want to compare before you hand anything over
Gala publishes what it charges before the medical intake, so you can weigh it against anything else on this page without first giving a company your health history.
Look elsewhere if
You want to check the pharmacy
Gala does not publicly name the compounding pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. That is common and it is not an accusation, but the one thing you would most want to verify about a compounded medicine is the one thing you cannot.
What it actually costs
Both figures below are reproduced exactly as we recorded them, with every condition attached. They are long on purpose: a monthly rate quoted without the term that buys it, the cadence it is billed on, or the dose it applies to is the single most common way a price on a page like this turns out to be untrue.

Gala pays us a commission if you start care through this link — as does every company with a review here, which is what decides who gets one, so this is not a survey of the market. See our disclosure, and weigh the trade-offs above against the evidence rather than taking our word for it. Gala sells a prescription medicine, not a probiotic; this site's ranked shelf is the metabolic probiotic ranking, and a supplement is a different decision from a drug.
The pharmacy behind the medicine
It does not name its pharmacy. Gala does not publicly disclose which compounding pharmacy fills its prescriptions. That is common and it is not an accusation — but it does mean the one thing you would most want to verify about a compounded medicine is the one thing you cannot.
A compounded drug is mixed to order by a pharmacy rather than manufactured and released as a finished product, so the FDA has not reviewed the specific preparation you are prescribed for safety, effectiveness or quality. That is true of every compounded program on this page, including the ones that score highest, and it is the most important sentence on it.
The honest read
What it does well
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at $179/mo with all doses included on the yearly plan
- Lower microdosing tirzepatide tier at $149/mo for a sub-therapeutic starting protocol
- Brand-name Ozempic available alongside compounded options
- Claims licensed providers in all 50 states with free shipping included
What to check first
- $179/mo requires a yearly subscription — the standalone monthly price isn't published
- Brand-name Ozempic at $1,299/mo is higher than peers (e.g., Found at $1,100/mo)
- Pharmacy partners not named — only a "network of pharmacies" reference
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished products
How it compares
Gala sits at 22 of 35 on this page. Every prescription GLP-1 program this site links out to is scored on the same question: can you see the price before you hand over your health history? The full list is on the prescription GLP-1 review index.
Because Gala prints a figure before the intake rather than after it, it is also a ranked row on our GLP-1 telehealth ranking, our compounded semaglutide ranking and our compounded tirzepatide ranking. Each is this same question narrowed to the programs that answer it, with every figure printed as we recorded it and its conditions attached rather than trimmed to fit a column.

Brand-name Wegovy from $650/mo for the medication ALONE — its Branded plan bills membership separately at $99-$149 per cycle on top, so the real month-to-month floor is nearer $799; compounded semaglutide is $299/mo month-to-month, $199/mo only on a 12-month prepayShow the full pricing note
- Sesame Care review
From $149/mo (1.5 mg dose, compounded oral)
- SkinnyRx review
"As low as $199/mo" (compounded weekly injection; the asterisk is a plan ladder, so $199 is the bottom rung rather than the price of one month, and a microdose option is sold at the same address)Show the full pricing note
