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
VitaStir
63/100Where the value is
- Real physical clinic locations with in-person options, not purely virtual
- Displays a LegitScript approved badge and states PCAB pharmacy licensing
- Low headline sale prices on both semaglutide and tirzepatide homekits
The tradeoffs
- Physical footprint is Michigan-only -- not a true nationwide option despite an online-order path
- Large 'reduced from' discounts (64-79% off) with no expiration date look like a permanent pricing anchor, not a real promo
