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
PreventiveMD
77/100Where the value is
- Compounded semaglutide from $83/mo and tirzepatide from $97/mo, billed as one all-in monthly price
- Brand Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo (oral GLP-1) available on the same platform
- US-licensed provider reviews requests within 24 hours — no video visit required
The tradeoffs
- Both figures are 'as low as' rates and the qualifying term is not published anywhere — the checkout is gated, so whether $97 is month-to-month or a multi-month prepay cannot be established before signing up
- Brand-name routes are priced separately and do carry a fee: $49/mo membership plus medication from $149/mo for Foundayo and Wegovy, from $299/mo for Zepbound
