Invigor Medical
88/100Where the value is
- Competitive mid-market pricing on both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Long-running operator with a broad catalog that can consolidate spend
- Both molecules published up front for easy cost modeling
The tradeoffs
- Does not publish an explicit states-served list, so access is a variable in the model
- Compounded only
Curve
64/100Where the value is
- Offers both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with every dose priced the same so cost does not rise as you titrate up.
- LegitScript-certified (seal #51079066) and names both its 503A compounding pharmacy, VialsRx, and its provider network, Beluga Health.
- Transparent tiered pricing with a real month-to-month option; consultation, medication, and free expedited shipping included, no membership.
The tradeoffs
- Very new (2026 launch) with a thin track record; the site still shows a Webflow template credit and a leftover Cora reference in its Terms.
- The cheapest headline rates ($99 semaglutide / $135 tirzepatide) require a 12-month prepay; true month-to-month is $175 and $225.
