MEDVi
62/100Where the value is
- The FAQ states both numbers plainly: $179 for the first month and refills locked in at $299, covering the provider review, the medication and shipping
- No contract; you can cancel at any time by email or through the patient portal chat
- Names its partner pharmacies (Triad Rx, RedRock Pharmacy and Beaker Pharmacy & Compounding) and the medical groups behind its providers
The tradeoffs
- The $179 headline is a first-month "FALL Sale" price; every refill after that is $299
- Cancellation must reach support at least 72 hours before your next billing date, and monthly charges are never refunded once the month has started
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to MEDVi, LLC dba MEDVi in February 2026. We still list and link to MEDVi; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
RNK Health
59/100Where the value is
- One monthly price covers the medication, the physician consultation and prescription, syringes and wipes, and shipping, with no separate membership or visit fee
- Month to month: you can cancel, pause or skip from your account, and it emails the upcoming amount 7 days before each renewal
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with NAD+, sermorelin, B12 and naltrexone available on the same account
The tradeoffs
- Both prices are "from" figures and the pages don't say what a higher dose costs, so confirm the price for your dose at checkout
- Fees are non-refundable once you submit the intake, unless a provider finds you ineligible or the medication arrives damaged or wrong
