The comparison in brief

Both score 65/100 on the Cost-Efficiency Index. There is no score winner; compare the treatment you need, billing terms and state availability.

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.

NativeMed

Shoppers who want one price at every dose, month to month or cheaper on a 3-month plan paid up front, without a separate membership fee.

Reasons to consider it

  • Flat 'same price any dose' pricing removes the dose-tier price-creep common at other compounded GLP-1 sites
  • No stated membership/platform fee stacked on top of the medication price
  • Free 48-hour shipping advertised on the homepage

What to weigh up

  • The 'from $149' and 'from $183' headlines are the 3-month plan, paid up front at $447 or $549; the monthly plan costs $179 or $259
  • The first consultation is free, but a $25 fee may apply if you don't move forward on the call, and missing it or canceling within 2 hours also costs $25
  • No published list of which U.S. states NativeMed actually serves — a buyer can't confirm eligibility before starting the intake

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to NativeMed LLC dba NativeMed in June 2026. We still list and link to NativeMed; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.

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
