Visit InvyncibleThe verdict
AskRx and Invyncible tie on the Cost-Efficiency Index at 59/100, so neither wins outright on the numbers. For most shoppers we'd start with AskRx (ranked #266, a hair above #272) — Patients who specifically want FDA-approved branded Wegovy/Zepbound/Foundayo and don't need to see the drug price before starting intake.

AskRx
59/100Where the value is
- Sells only FDA-approved branded medication ('never compounded'), removing compounding-related sourcing questions entirely
- States a clear, itemized flat care fee ($90 visit + $10 fulfillment = $100/mo) rather than folding an undisclosed markup into the drug price
- Explicitly states no markup is added to the medication's pharmacy cost
The tradeoffs
- The actual medication price — the majority of the real monthly cost for a brand-name GLP-1 — is never published; it's shown only at checkout after intake, so the site cannot be used to comparison-shop the true total cost
- Live video visits are limited to 'select states' despite the blanket '50 States' coverage claim, an inconsistency the site doesn't reconcile
Invyncible
59/100Where the value is
- Publishes real itemized dollar prices for eight separate combo programs plus two brand options directly on the site, no signup required, with the mg vial size named in every dose option
- Sells FDA-approved brand Wegovy ($1,750/mo) and Zepbound ($1,540/mo) alongside compounded options
- Names all six compounding pharmacies with street addresses and phone numbers and lets the patient choose which one fills the prescription
The tradeoffs
- Every listed price is shown as a discount off a much higher struck-through 'list' price, and the page invites further negotiation — reads as permanent anchor pricing
- The entry figure is the smallest vial: plain compounded semaglutide runs $192.50, $262.50 and $350 across its three vial sizes, and the FAQ confirms cost rises with dose
