Pricing

Both platforms use a subscription model that includes the medication, doctor consultation, and ongoing support:

Juniper:

• Mounjaro starter (2.5mg): ~$285/month + programme fee
• Subscription includes health coaching, check-ins, and dose adjustments
• Some patients report total costs of $375–500/month at higher doses

Pilot:

• Similar pricing structure to Juniper
• Mounjaro starter: ~$285/month + programme fee
• Men's health focus means bundled offerings (weight + hair + ED available separately)

Who should choose Juniper?

• Women looking for a female-focused weight loss programme
• Patients who want structured health coaching alongside medication
• Those who prefer a community aspect (Juniper has online support groups)
• Women who may also want menopause or fertility-related support (Kin Fertility, same parent company)

Who should choose Pilot?

• Men looking for a male-focused health platform
• Patients who want weight loss as part of a broader men's health approach
• Those who might also want hair loss or ED treatment from the same provider
• Men who prefer male-specific coaching and content

Alternatives to both

If neither suits you, other options in Australia include:

• InstantScripts — $89 one-off consultation, no ongoing subscription. You buy medication separately from any pharmacy.
• Chemist Warehouse — Walk-in pharmacy. Bring a private script from your GP. Often cheapest for the medication itself.
• Your GP — Can prescribe GLP-1 medications directly. No subscription fee. You just pay the script cost.

The bottom line

Juniper and Pilot are essentially the same service with different branding. If you're a woman, Juniper. If you're a man, Pilot. If you don't want a subscription, use InstantScripts or your GP and buy the medication separately — it's often cheaper.
