Ivim Health
57/100Where the value is
- Both molecules are priced on one page, each quoted as medication and program charge included rather than as a bare drug price
- A six-month commitment brings tirzepatide down to $133/mo, and the term is published rather than hidden
- The first month of the membership is free
The tradeoffs
- A $75/mo membership is marketed as a separate product, and whether it is charged on top of the $149 medication rate is not stated anywhere we could find
- The $133/mo tirzepatide rate advertised on the homepage requires a six-month commitment; the month-to-month rate is $224
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Ivim Services LLC dba Ivim in February 2026. We still list and link to Ivim Health; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
Midi Health
57/100Where the value is
- No membership fee — the site states outright 'You only pay for your care and your medications'
- Medication price already includes shipping and supplies, so the listed number is closer to the true out-of-pocket cost than sites that add fees later
- Dose-tiered pricing is published transparently: compounded semaglutide $165.90-$355.00/mo, compounded tirzepatide $210.00-$434.00/mo depending on dose
The tradeoffs
- The advertised 'Weekly doses start at $34' teaser on the weight-management overview page refers to microdosing, not the standard program — the real 4-week program cost starts at $165.90/mo, over 4x the teaser figure
- Weight care is not Midi's core identity — it's layered onto a menopause/HRT platform, so patients whose only need is GLP-1 may find a weight-loss-only provider more streamlined
