Trimi Health
78/100Where the value is
- All four plan lengths are priced on its pricing page: semaglutide is $175 monthly, $145 quarterly, $120 on six months and $99 on a year
- Tirzepatide follows the same pattern: $235 monthly, $199 quarterly, $175 on six months and $125 on a year
- Price is flat at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
The tradeoffs
- The advertised $99 and $125 need a full year paid up front, $1,188 or $1,500; month to month costs $175 and $235
- Compounded only, with no brand-name or oral option
Vivanta Care
80/100Where the value is
- All four dose-stage prices for each drug appear on the first screen of its quiz, before you answer any health questions
- Each plan covers the medical visit, the medication and shipping, with no separate membership fee
- Names its pharmacy (DiRx in Fort Lauderdale) and its clinician network (MD Integrations)
The tradeoffs
- The $79 and $99 prices cover only the starting dose; at the higher stages semaglutide reaches $299 and tirzepatide $329
- Its FAQ says pricing "stays the same at every dose", which doesn't match the dose-stage prices in the quiz
