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
Sprout Health
85/100Where the value is
- Well-priced compounded — $149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide — with LegitScript certification behind it
- Low-friction intake: no labs and often no synchronous visit required
- Offers a brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound path alongside the compounded 503A route
The tradeoffs
- No named medical director published, so clinical oversight is harder to attribute
- Availability is quiz-gated by state, so nationwide access isn't guaranteed until you qualify
