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
FormidableMD
70/100Where the value is
- Transparent, published dose-by-dose pricing for semaglutide ($169-$269/mo) and tirzepatide ($199-$319/mo) with no membership or commitment
- Offers both FDA-approved and compounded GLP-1s (plus oral options) from 503A pharmacies, with a real provider at every visit
- Boutique physician-led model bundling labs, peptides, HRT/TRT and urgent care; FSA/HSA eligible
The tradeoffs
- Florida-focused telehealth — availability outside FL is not advertised, so out-of-state access is uncertain
- Medication cost is on top of a $199 initial consultation and $99 follow-up visits (pay-per-visit, not an all-in monthly price)
