Found
88/100Where the value is
- Lowest cost-per-month on the board — identical $129 on both molecules
- Nationwide
- Strong behavior-change program adds value
The tradeoffs
- Coaching subscription can't be unbundled, which reduces contract flexibility
- Compounded only
Lavender Sky Health
64/100Where the value is
- The treatment-plan pricing page publishes every pharmacy's full ladder rather than one headline figure, so the cheaper prepaid tiers are visible alongside the monthly ones
- A genuine month-to-month starter plan exists with no prepay, and the cheapest of them is what is filed above — Southend for semaglutide, ReviveRx for tirzepatide
- Compounded plans include the price of the medication, and shipping and supplies are stated as included
The tradeoffs
- This is a marketplace, not one price: every figure belongs to a named pharmacy on a named plan, and the pharmacy and plan have to travel with the number for it to mean anything
- Most of the ladder is prepaid — Tier plans need 8-10 weeks up front and Extended plans 3-4 months — and only a handful of the pharmacies publish a month-to-month starter plan at all
