Where they actually differ
- They bill on different clocks. Embody charges every 4 weeks and RxPepsDirect charges every 30 days. That alone changes what a “month” costs, which is the whole reason this index recomputes every price.
- One price holds and the other climbs. Embody’s price is the same at every dose; RxPepsDirect’s is a starting-dose price that climbs. See what titration does to an advertised figure.
- Only one carries a mandatory recurring fee. RxPepsDirect: $55 a month. 360 of 382 sellers charge nothing like it.
- What they advertise is not what they bill. Embody advertises $129 and bills $140.
How we know
Both figures were read on the seller’s own site and recomputed over a 30.4375-day calendar month from the charge and the billing period it covers. Neither is a seller’s own “/mo”. The full working for each — the charge, the period, the arithmetic and the date it was read — is on its own page: Embody and RxPepsDirect. The method is set out in how we verify.
