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
Southern Vitality and Weight Loss
62/100Where the value is
- Compounded GLP-1 (semaglutide and tirzepatide) starting as low as $99/mo
- Names its compounding pharmacy partners (PerfectRx, The Pharmacy Hub, RX Compound Store) — uncommon transparency
- Free telehealth consult and free shipping; no membership or hidden fees
The tradeoffs
- This is one physical clinic in Valdosta, Georgia, not a national telehealth service — nothing here is available to a reader outside Georgia
- The advertised 'as low as $99/month' is a semaglutide three-month starter pack ($299 paid up front), not a tirzepatide rate and not a monthly one
