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
Pepti
80/100Where the value is
- Every dose has its own published price: semaglutide runs $99 to $199 and tirzepatide $159 to $319
- No membership fee; the medication price includes physician review, dose adjustments and free shipping
- Names a reviewing physician and a dispensing pharmacy, Olympia Pharmacy
The tradeoffs
- The price rises as your dose goes up, so the $99 starting figure covers only the first step of semaglutide
- It bills every 28 days rather than monthly, which adds up to 13 charges a year
