The short answer

Levity differentiates itself by offering FDA-approved branded medications—Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy—rather than compounded versions. Over 12 months the effective monthly cost ranges from $1,194.83 (Ozempic) to $1,594.83 (Wegovy), reflecting first-month promotional rates of $1,149–$1,549 and refill rates of $1,199–$1,599. Nine alternative providers deliver compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with comparable clinical oversight starting at $189 per month on flexible schedules. The choice turns on whether you value FDA approval and brand-name supply continuity enough to pay approximately six to eight times more than compounded options, or whether you prefer materially lower recurring costs with compounding pharmacy fulfillment.

At-a-glance comparison

All prices captured July–September 2026. Month-to-month rates include medication, provider visit, care support, and shipping unless otherwise noted. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

Levity pricing detail: branded medications and recurring costs

Levity markets three FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1 medications: Ozempic (semaglutide, approved for type 2 diabetes), Mounjaro (tirzepatide, approved for type 2 diabetes), and Wegovy (semaglutide, approved for chronic weight management). Each option includes the medication, a provider consultation, ongoing care coordination, and shipping, with no separate membership fee. Promotional code WELCOME reduces the first month by $50; refill pricing then applies every subsequent month on a four-week recurring cycle. Patients may cancel anytime.

• Ozempic: first-month promotional rate $1,149 (with WELCOME code), refill rate $1,199 per month. Over 12 months the total is $14,338, for an effective monthly cost of $1,194.83 (our calculation).
• Mounjaro: first-month promotional rate $1,249 (with WELCOME code), refill rate $1,299 per month. Over 12 months the total is $15,538, for an effective monthly cost of $1,294.83 (our calculation).
• Wegovy: first-month promotional rate $1,549 (with WELCOME code), refill rate $1,599 per month. Over 12 months the total is $19,138, for an effective monthly cost of $1,594.83 (our calculation).

Levity does not publish pricing for compounded liraglutide, which it also lists among its offerings; the rates above reflect only the three branded GLP-1 options verified at checkout on September 4, 2026.

Alternative provider pricing: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide

Nine alternative telehealth providers deliver compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injection programs through licensed 503A compounding pharmacies, with month-to-month pricing that ranges from $189 to $399 per month. Each program includes a licensed clinician visit, the compounded medication, ongoing clinical oversight, and home delivery. None of the nine charges a separate membership fee except Eden, which bundles a $99 medication charge with a $99 monthly membership into a $198 all-inclusive rate.

Compounded semaglutide: 12-month normalized costs

• PlexusDx: $189 per month month-to-month, or $169 per month prepaid on a 3-month commitment, or $149 per month prepaid on a 6-month commitment. The month-to-month plan totals $2,268 over 12 months (our calculation).
• Eden: $198 per month all-in (medication $99 + membership $99), totaling $2,376 over 12 months (our calculation).
• Peak Wellness: $249 per month month-to-month, totaling $2,988 over 12 months (our calculation). Lower per-month rates available on 6-month prepaid plans.
• Found: $289 per month cash-pay month-to-month, totaling $3,468 over 12 months (our calculation). A 12-month prepaid plan advertises "from $169/month" (per-month equivalent, paid upfront), captured July 20, 2026.
• Henry Meds: $297 per month, totaling $3,564 over 12 months (our calculation).
• Embody: $299 per month, totaling $3,588 over 12 months (our calculation). Same price at every dose.
• TrimRx: advertised at $199 per month, but checkout-verified ongoing rate is $299 per month, totaling $3,588 over 12 months (our calculation). Lower per-month rates on multi-month prepaid plans.

Compounded tirzepatide: 12-month normalized costs

• PlexusDx: $289 per month month-to-month, or $269 per month prepaid on a 3-month commitment, or $249 per month prepaid on a 6-month commitment. The month-to-month plan totals $3,468 over 12 months (our calculation).
• Eden: $298 per month all-in, totaling $3,576 over 12 months (our calculation).
• Embody: $349 per month, totaling $4,188 over 12 months (our calculation).
• Peak Wellness: $349 per month month-to-month, totaling $4,188 over 12 months (our calculation).
• Found: $359 per month cash-pay month-to-month, totaling $4,308 over 12 months (our calculation).
• TrimRx: advertised at $349 per month, but checkout-verified ongoing rate is $399 per month, totaling $4,788 over 12 months (our calculation).

Henry Meds offers tirzepatide as an oral dissolving tablet only; no monthly injection rate is published. Several providers also offer oral capsule formulations of semaglutide and tirzepatide at different price points.

Branded versus compounded: regulatory status and supply considerations

Levity's three medications—Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy—are FDA-approved drugs manufactured by Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. FDA approval means the agency has reviewed clinical trial data for safety and efficacy, established manufacturing quality standards, and authorized specific indications. Ozempic and Mounjaro carry FDA approval for type 2 diabetes; Wegovy carries approval for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight plus weight-related conditions.

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are custom-prepared formulations produced by state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacies under the oversight of a prescribing clinician. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review compounded drugs before marketing for safety, effectiveness, or quality. A licensed clinician determines whether a prescription is appropriate for an individual patient. Compounding pharmacies may prepare these medications when certain conditions are met, including when a branded drug is on the FDA shortage list or when a clinician identifies a clinical need not met by commercially available products.

Patients who prioritize brand-name assurance, established manufacturing lineage, and FDA-reviewed trial data will find value in Levity's offering despite the six- to eight-fold cost difference. Patients who prioritize recurring affordability and accept pharmacy-compounded formulations under physician oversight will find materially lower monthly expenses across the nine alternative programs.

Service model and care continuity

Levity structures its service as a recurring subscription billed approximately every four weeks, matching the typical GLP-1 injection supply cycle. The program includes an initial provider consultation, the dispensed medication, ongoing care coordination, and shipping. Patients may cancel anytime without penalty. The promotional code WELCOME applies only to the first shipment; every subsequent cycle bills at the refill rate.

The nine compounded alternatives deliver similar care continuity: each includes a provider visit or asynchronous consultation at enrollment, home delivery of a monthly supply, message-based or scheduled follow-up access to clinical staff, and dose titration as clinically appropriate. PlexusDx, Embody, Peak Wellness, Henry Meds, Found, and TrimRx charge no separate membership fee; the per-month rate is all-inclusive. Eden bundles medication and membership into one figure. Most alternatives allow cancellation before the next billing cycle without long-term obligation on month-to-month plans, though prepaid multi-month commitments at lower per-month rates require upfront payment and carry their own cancellation terms.

Decision factors

Branded assurance and insurance pathways

Levity's branded medications may integrate more smoothly with insurance prior-authorization workflows for patients whose plans cover Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy. However, the published Levity prices reflect cash-pay rates; patients with insurance coverage would verify benefits and cost-share directly with Levity. Compounded formulations are typically excluded from insurance formularies, making the cash-pay transparency of the nine alternatives their practical operating model.

Dose titration and same-price policies

PlexusDx and Embody publish the same monthly rate at every dose, eliminating step-up charges as patients titrate. Levity's per-month rate does not vary by dose either, though the starting dose and titration schedule are set by the branded product labeling. Other compounded providers may adjust pricing as patients move to higher maintenance doses; confirming the dose-pricing policy at intake prevents surprises.

Multi-month prepay and commitment trade-offs

PlexusDx, Found, Peak Wellness, and TrimRx offer discounted per-month rates when patients prepay for three, six, or twelve months. These plans lock in a lower effective cost but require upfront cash and reduce flexibility to pause or switch. Month-to-month billing preserves maximum flexibility at a higher per-unit price. Levity operates exclusively on a recurring ~4-week cycle with no published multi-month prepay discount.

Choose Levity if…

• You require FDA-approved brand-name medications—Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy—and the six- to eight-fold cost premium over compounded alternatives aligns with your budget.
• Your insurance may cover part of the brand-name cost, and you plan to pursue prior authorization or reimbursement pathways that compounded formulations do not support.
• You prioritize manufacturer lineage, established clinical trial data under the brand label, and supply continuity from Novo Nordisk or Eli Lilly over pharmacy-compounded formulations.
• You prefer a straightforward recurring subscription on a four-week cycle with no multi-month commitment required.

Choose PlexusDx if…

• You want the lowest published month-to-month compounded semaglutide rate ($189) or tirzepatide rate ($289) with the flexibility to cancel anytime, or you prefer prepaid 3-month ($169/$269) or 6-month ($149/$249) plans for additional savings.
• Same-price-at-every-dose transparency matters: your monthly cost will not increase when your clinician titrates you to a higher maintenance dose.
• You value working with a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy under direct physician oversight, and you accept that compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
• You want decision-grade commercial transparency published before intake, with no advertised introductory rates that revert to higher refill pricing.

Choose Eden if…

• You want a bundled all-in-one experience (medication + membership) at $198/month semaglutide or $298/month tirzepatide, with care coordination and lifestyle coaching integrated into a single subscription.
• You value a structured membership model that includes ongoing content, community, and support resources beyond medication dispensing alone.

Choose Peak Wellness, Found, Embody, or TrimRx if…

• Your budget sits in the $249–$359 per month range for compounded GLP-1 injections, and the specific care team style, messaging platform, or titration protocols of one of these providers align with your preferences.
• You are willing to verify checkout rates directly (TrimRx advertised rates differ from checkout-verified ongoing rates) or accept per-month-equivalent prepaid pricing (Found's 12-month plan) to access lower effective costs.

Choose Henry Meds if…

• You specifically want compounded semaglutide injection at $297/month with a provider model and fulfillment workflow that suits your care preferences, and you do not require tirzepatide injection (Henry Meds offers tirzepatide as oral dissolving tablet only).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is compounded semaglutide the same medication as Ozempic or Wegovy?

No. Compounded semaglutide contains the same active pharmaceutical ingredient but is custom-prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and is not FDA-approved. Ozempic and Wegovy are FDA-approved branded drugs manufactured under agency-reviewed quality standards. A licensed clinician determines which option is appropriate for each patient.

Why does Levity cost six to eight times more than compounded alternatives?

Levity dispenses FDA-approved branded medications—Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy—whose wholesale acquisition costs are set by the manufacturers. Compounded formulations are prepared by pharmacies at materially lower ingredient and production costs, though they lack FDA approval and the clinical trial lineage of the branded products.

Can I use insurance to pay for Levity's branded GLP-1 medications?

Levity's published prices are cash-pay rates. If your insurance covers Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy, contact Levity directly to confirm whether they process insurance claims and what your out-of-pocket cost-share would be after prior authorization and formulary review. Compounded medications are typically not covered by insurance.

Do alternative providers increase the price when I move to a higher dose?

PlexusDx and Embody publish the same monthly rate at every dose. Other providers' dose-pricing policies vary; confirm at intake whether your monthly cost will step up as your clinician titrates you to maintenance doses. Levity's per-month branded rate does not vary by dose within a given medication.

Are Levity's first-month promotional prices available every month?

No. The WELCOME promotional code reduces the first shipment by $50, resulting in first-month rates of $1,149 (Ozempic), $1,249 (Mounjaro), or $1,549 (Wegovy). Every subsequent month bills at the refill rate: $1,199, $1,299, or $1,599 respectively. Over 12 months the effective monthly cost is $1,194.83, $1,294.83, or $1,594.83 (our calculation).
