The comparison in brief

Luci has the higher Cost-Efficiency Index: 65/100 versus 64/100. That is a value comparison under our published methodology, not a measure of medical suitability or a guarantee of results.

The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

Luci

Patients willing to prepay a 12-month plan for the lowest advertised rate who want to know which pharmacy fills their prescription.

Reasons to consider it

  • Offers semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections or oral versions
  • Names its three compounding pharmacies, with addresses: EPIQ Scripts, Emerald Compounding Pharmacy and Striker Pharmacy
  • Names its medical partners: DrTelx on its homepage and Berluga Health in its terms

What to weigh up

  • The "as low as" $99 and $145 prices are for a 12-month plan paid upfront, and no month-to-month price is published
  • Its FAQ says it serves every state, while its footer says select states, with no list
  • Its terms say fees aren't refundable in whole or in part, which sits awkwardly beside the money-back guarantee

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.
