Invigor Medical
88/100Where the value is
- Competitive mid-market 'starting at' pricing on both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Licensed in all 50 states, with a named Medical Director (Dr. Hamilton) and five named partner compounding pharmacies
- Both molecules published up front for easy cost modeling
The tradeoffs
- Both prices are floors — no dose-tier breakdown is published, so the real cost at a typical maintenance dose is unknown until intake
- The site names five partner pharmacies but never discloses which one fills a given order
Gimme Care
87/100Where the value is
- Low published prices on both molecules — $130 semaglutide / $163 tirzepatide
- Nationwide all-50 availability with both molecules disclosed
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy behind the program
The tradeoffs
- Compounded only — no brand-name or oral options
- Lower-profile brand with a thinner public track record
