PlexusDx publishes this comparison and is one of the providers discussed. We use the same evidence rules for our own program and competing programs.

The short answer

MEDVi charges $179 for the first month of compounded semaglutide injection, then $299/month ongoing; tirzepatide runs $279 first month, then $399/month (checkout-verified September 4, 2026). If you value transparent, prepublished pricing and the option to lock a lower rate with a multi-month commitment, six alternatives offer monthly or prepaid plans that publish every tier before intake. PlexusDx semaglutide injection runs $189 month-to-month or $149/month on a six-month commitment—$1,788 annually versus MEDVi's $3,468 first-year cost (our calculation, including MEDVi's introductory month). Embody, Peak Wellness, Found, Eden, Henry Meds, and TrimRx each bring distinct pricing structures and included services; we normalize all rates to 12-month totals below so you can compare like-for-like.

At-a-glance comparison

All MEDVi and competitor prices checkout-verified July 17–September 4, 2026. Prepaid equivalents are our calculation.

Normalized 12-month cost comparison

Introductory rates create sticker appeal but expire after the first shipment. The table below shows what each provider costs over a full year, using month-to-month plans where available and noting prepaid options. Every calculation is ours unless the provider publishes an annual figure.

All calculations are ours based on checkout-verified monthly rates (captured July 17–September 4, 2026). MEDVi, TrimRx, Peak Wellness, and Found offer multi-month bundles or prepaid plans; specific bundle rates were not captured except for Found's 12-month semaglutide rate ($169/month prepaid).

Key decision factors

Introductory pricing versus refill rates

MEDVi's first-month rate for semaglutide injection is $179, then $299 monthly (verified September 4, 2026). Over 12 months that structure costs $3,468 (our calculation: $179 + eleven months at $299). TrimRx advertises $199 semaglutide but charges $299 ongoing at checkout, yielding a nearly identical annual cost of $3,488 (our calculation). Both providers offer multi-month bundles with installment financing (MEDVi) or upfront discounts (TrimRx), but we did not capture the specific bundle rates. If you plan to stay on medication for a year or longer, the ongoing refill rate and any commitment-tier discount matter more than the first shipment's price.

Membership fees and all-inclusive pricing

Eden splits its charge into $99 medication and a required $99/month membership, totaling $198 for semaglutide or $298 for tirzepatide. MEDVi offers a separate branded pathway ($99/month membership plus medication cost) but compounded plans bundle medication, clinician care, and shipping into the single monthly or first-month price. PlexusDx, Embody, Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, and TrimRx each charge one flat monthly rate that includes medication, prescriber oversight, and delivery—no separate membership line item.

Pricing visibility before intake

MEDVi, BetterMe Rx, and Remedy Meds show pricing after you complete a health questionnaire. PlexusDx, Embody, Peak Wellness, Found, Eden, and Henry Meds publish every rate on their product or pricing pages before intake, so you know the cost before entering personal health information.

Commitment tiers and prepayment

PlexusDx drops semaglutide from $189 month-to-month to $149/month on a six-month commitment and tirzepatide from $289 to $249/month—a $480 annual saving on semaglutide (our calculation). Found offers a 12-month prepaid plan at $169/month for semaglutide (down from $289 month-to-month), saving $1,440 over the year (our calculation). Peak Wellness and TrimRx advertise lower per-month rates on prepaid plans but we did not capture the exact figures. MEDVi sells 3-, 6-, and 12-month bundles with 0% financing spread over twelve installments (Klarna); those bundles are non-refundable for unused months, and the specific per-month equivalent rates are not published in our evidence.

Dose-increase pricing

MEDVi, PlexusDx, and Embody each hold the monthly rate steady as your clinician titrates dose upward. If a competitor charges per milligram or per vial strength, your cost can rise mid-treatment; none of the providers in this comparison apply that structure, but always confirm the dose policy before starting.

Oral versus injection

MEDVi adds $70/month to move from semaglutide injection ($299 refill) to semaglutide tablets ($369 refill); that surcharge was explicit at checkout for semaglutide but not separately displayed for tirzepatide oral (verified September 4, 2026). PlexusDx offers both routes: semaglutide oral runs $289 month-to-month (compared to $189 injection), and tirzepatide oral is $349 month-to-month (compared to $289 injection). Henry Meds lists a tirzepatide oral dissolving tablet but no injection option and did not display a monthly rate in our capture. If needle aversion or travel convenience drives your preference, confirm route availability and any surcharge before intake.

Trustpilot ratings

MEDVi holds a 4.3-star rating with approximately 15,000 reviews on Trustpilot (captured September 4, 2026). PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating, with 79% of reviews at five stars and 83% at four stars or higher (captured September 9, 2026; trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com). Review volume and themes vary by provider; check the profile and sort by recent or critical posts to see recurring service or fulfillment patterns.

• A free check-in with a Doctor of Pharmacy and optional drug-response testing ($99 for program members, $298 standalone) appeal to you.

Methodology and freshness

We verified MEDVi pricing by completing intake to the results and plan-selection page (stopped before payment entry) on September 4, 2026. Competitor prices come from checkout captures or published product pages recorded July 17–23, 2026, and cross-checked September 2026. Every monthly rate, membership fee, and prepaid equivalent in this article is either checkout-verified or drawn from the provider's own pricing page, with the capture date noted. Twelve-month cost totals are our calculation unless the provider publishes an annual figure. MEDVi offers multi-month bundles with 0% financing (Klarna), and TrimRx, Peak Wellness, and Found advertise prepaid discounts, but specific bundle or prepaid per-month rates were captured only for Found's 12-month semaglutide plan ($169/month prepaid). We will update this comparison when we capture additional bundle rates or when any provider changes its published pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does MEDVi show one price before checkout and another at refill?

MEDVi charges an introductory rate for the first month—$179 semaglutide injection, $279 tirzepatide—then shifts to the standard refill rate of $299 or $399 monthly. This is an explicit first-month promotion, not a permanent price. Always calculate your 12-month cost using the refill rate to understand true recurring expense.

Are compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide FDA-approved brand-name drugs?

No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. 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. MEDVi, PlexusDx, and the other providers in this comparison dispense compounded GLP-1 agonists prepared by licensed pharmacies, not branded drugs.

How much do I save with a six-month commitment versus month-to-month?

PlexusDx semaglutide drops from $189 month-to-month to $149 on a six-month commitment, saving $480 over twelve months (our calculation: $40/month × 12). Tirzepatide drops from $289 to $249, saving the same $480 annually. Found's 12-month prepaid semaglutide plan ($169/month equivalent) saves $1,440 versus its $289 month-to-month rate over one year. MEDVi and TrimRx advertise bundle discounts but we did not capture the specific per-month equivalents.

Will my price go up if my doctor increases my dose?

MEDVi, PlexusDx, and Embody each state that dose increases do not raise the monthly charge. Eden's structure splits medication and membership into two line items but the combined total remains constant. Henry Meds and Peak Wellness did not publish explicit dose-increase policies in our capture; confirm at intake if dose-stable pricing matters to you.

Can I see pricing before I fill out a health questionnaire?

PlexusDx, Embody, Peak Wellness, Found, Eden, and Henry Meds publish every rate on their pricing or product pages before intake. MEDVi, BetterMe Rx, and Remedy Meds show pricing after you complete a questionnaire. TrimRx advertises sign-up rates on its homepage but checkout reveals the ongoing refill figures, which we verified and report here.
