The short answer

Lavender Sky Health advertises compounded semaglutide at a per-month equivalent of $95 and tirzepatide at $105, but those figures are per-month breakdowns of mandatory two-month prepaid supplies and exclude separate consult fees of $65 initially and $40 every six to twelve months. When you fold in the upfront payment requirement and consult costs, Lavender Sky's effective monthly rate for compounded semaglutide over 12 months is approximately $104 (assuming starting dose throughout; higher doses cost more and pricing varies by pharmacy choice). For compounded tirzepatide the figure is roughly $114 per month. Whether those totals remain lower than alternatives depends on your dose trajectory, pharmacy selection, and whether you value month-to-month flexibility or the lowest possible floor. PlexusDx charges $189 per month for semaglutide injection and $289 for tirzepatide on a month-to-month basis (no membership, no separate consult fee, same price at every dose), or $149 and $249 respectively on six-month prepaid plans. Eden's all-in ongoing rate is $198 for semaglutide and $298 for tirzepatide (month-to-month with required membership). Peak Wellness lists $249 semaglutide and $349 tirzepatide month-to-month, with lower per-month rates on six-month prepaid plans. Henry Meds charges $297 per month for semaglutide. If you expect to stay at a starting or low dose and can commit two months at a time, Lavender Sky may deliver the lowest 12-month outlay; if you anticipate dose escalation, prefer true month-to-month billing, or want fixed pricing regardless of dose, other providers may prove simpler and, in some cases, less expensive once consult fees and dose variability are accounted for.

At-a-glance provider comparison

Lavender Sky Health data captured September 4, 2026 (Source 2, 3); competitor data captured July 17–23, 2026 (Source 1). Lavender Sky rates are per-month equivalents of two-month prepaid supplies; consult fees are in addition. PlexusDx prepaid rates are our calculation.

Like-for-like pricing: What you actually pay over 12 months

Lavender Sky Health structures its compounded GLP-1 pricing differently from most telehealth competitors. The advertised per-month equivalents—$95 for semaglutide and $105 for tirzepatide—are breakdowns of upfront two-month supplies: you pay $190 every two months for semaglutide or $210 for tirzepatide, and those medication costs are separate from consult fees. An initial provider consult costs $65 (one-time) and follow-up consults are $40 every six to twelve months (Source 2, 3; captured September 4, 2026). In addition, Lavender Sky states that pricing varies by pharmacy choice, dose, and supply length, so the advertised starting-dose rates may rise if you escalate dose or select a different pharmacy.

To construct a fair 12-month comparison we assume you remain at starting dose throughout (a best-case scenario for Lavender Sky), pay for medication every two months, and have one follow-up consult at month six. Under those assumptions:

• Lavender Sky compounded semaglutide: $65 initial consult + ($190 × 6 two-month cycles) + $40 follow-up = $1,245 over 12 months, or approximately $104 per month effective (our calculation).
• Lavender Sky compounded tirzepatide: $65 + ($210 × 6) + $40 = $1,365, or roughly $114 per month effective (our calculation).

Those effective monthly figures are the lowest in this comparison if you stay at starting dose and do not require additional consults. If your dose increases or your chosen pharmacy charges more for higher-strength vials, the per-month equivalent will rise; Lavender Sky does not publish a dose-escalation price schedule, so you will learn the new cost at refill time.

By contrast, PlexusDx charges a single recurring rate that covers medication, shipping, and provider access at every dose. On a month-to-month basis semaglutide injection is $189 per month ($2,268 over 12 months) and tirzepatide injection is $289 per month ($3,468 over 12 months). PlexusDx also offers six-month prepaid plans at $149 per month for semaglutide ($1,788 over 12 months, our calculation) and $249 per month for tirzepatide ($2,988 over 12 months, our calculation). No membership fee, no separate consult charges, and the price remains the same whether you are on a starting dose or a maintenance dose (Source 1; captured July 17–23, 2026).

Eden's all-in ongoing rate is $198 per month for semaglutide ($2,376 over 12 months) and $298 per month for tirzepatide ($3,576 over 12 months), built from $99 medication plus a required $99-per-month membership. Peak Wellness lists $249 per month for semaglutide ($2,988 over 12 months) and $349 for tirzepatide ($4,188), with lower per-month rates available on six-month prepaid commitments. Henry Meds charges $297 per month for semaglutide ($3,564 over 12 months) in a single subscription that includes provider access; tirzepatide is offered only as an oral dissolving tablet with no published monthly rate. Embody charges $299 per month for semaglutide and $349 for tirzepatide (no membership, same price at every dose). TrimRx shows checkout-verified ongoing rates of $299 per month for semaglutide and $399 for tirzepatide, though advertised rates are $199 and $349 respectively; TrimRx offers lower per-month rates on three-, six-, and twelve-month prepaid plans. Found's cash month-to-month rates are $289 for semaglutide and $359 for tirzepatide; Found also offers a twelve-month prepaid plan at a $169-per-month equivalent for semaglutide (Source 1; captured July 17–23, 2026).

Decision factors beyond headline price

Billing structure and upfront commitment

Lavender Sky requires you to purchase medication in two-month blocks and pay upfront ($190 or $210 depending on compound), which means a minimum commitment of roughly $200 every refill cycle before consulting fees. If cashflow flexibility matters or you want the option to pause after a single month, that structure may feel restrictive. PlexusDx, Eden, Henry Meds, Peak Wellness, Embody, TrimRx, and Found all offer true month-to-month billing for their standard plans (though several also offer prepaid discounts if you choose to commit longer). A two-month minimum is not inherently negative—it can streamline refills and reduce administrative overhead—but it does eliminate the ability to stop or switch after 30 days without forfeiting part of a prepaid supply.

Consult fees and ongoing provider access

Lavender Sky separates the cost of clinical oversight from the cost of medication: you pay $65 for your initial consult and $40 for each follow-up (scheduled every six to twelve months). That means over a typical 12-month period you will incur at least one follow-up charge in addition to your medication purchases. Competitors bundle provider access into the medication subscription, so there is no line-item consult fee at month six or month twelve. If you require more frequent check-ins—for example, to discuss side effects, adjust dose, or request lab review—Lavender Sky's per-consult model may add cost, whereas bundled-access models do not charge separately for asynchronous messages or follow-up visits within the subscription period (policies vary by provider; confirm messaging and visit policies before enrollment).

Dose escalation and price variability

Lavender Sky states that pricing varies by pharmacy choice, dose, and supply length but does not publish a dose-escalation price schedule on its public site (Source 2, 3; captured September 4, 2026). If you move from a starting dose (for example, 0.25 mg semaglutide weekly) to a maintenance dose (1.0 mg or higher), you will learn the new two-month cost at refill time, and that cost may be higher than the advertised per-month equivalent. PlexusDx, Embody, and others that advertise same-price-at-every-dose lock in predictability: whether you are at 0.25 mg or 2.4 mg semaglutide, the monthly charge remains $189 (PlexusDx month-to-month) or $299 (Embody). If budget certainty through dose escalation is a priority, a fixed-price provider eliminates surprise increases.

Branded versus compounded medication options

Lavender Sky offers both compounded and branded GLP-1 medications. For branded options—Wegovy pill (oral semaglutide) or Zepbound vials and pens—the service charges a $25-per-month plan fee on top of the medication cost. For example, Wegovy pill 1.5 mg is advertised at $174 first-month medication cost plus $25 plan fee, totaling $199 per month; the standard ongoing medication rate is $199, so the total is $224 per month after the first month. Zepbound 2.5 mg vial or pen is advertised at $324 first-month medication cost plus $25 plan fee, totaling $349 per month; the standard ongoing rate is also $349 per month. Higher doses cost more: Wegovy 9 mg oral is $349 per month total, and Zepbound 7.5–15 mg is $499 per month total (Source 3; captured September 4, 2026). If you prefer or require FDA-approved branded product, Lavender Sky provides access, though at prices that are generally higher than its compounded offerings and comparable to or above what other telehealth providers charge for compounded alternatives. Most telehealth competitors in this comparison focus exclusively on compounded GLP-1; Lavender Sky's dual inventory may appeal if you want the option to switch between compounded and branded within one provider relationship, but it will not save money on the branded side relative to pharmacy cash prices or manufacturer savings programs in many cases.

Choose Lavender Sky Health if…

• You expect to remain at or near starting dose for an extended period, which keeps the advertised per-month equivalent in play and minimizes consult-fee overhead.
• You are comfortable committing to two-month medication supplies upfront and do not need the flexibility to pause or cancel after a single month.
• You prefer a consult-based model where clinical oversight is billed separately and you have the option to choose among multiple partner pharmacies (recognizing that pharmacy choice may affect final price).
• You want the option to access both compounded and FDA-approved branded GLP-1 medications through a single provider, even though the branded pricing carries an additional $25-per-month plan fee.

• You prefer working with a provider that holds a verified 4.3-star Trustpilot rating, with 79 percent of reviews at five stars and 83 percent at four stars or higher (trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com; captured September 9, 2026).

Choose Eden if…

• You want an all-in rate that sits between Lavender Sky's starting-dose effective cost and PlexusDx's standard month-to-month rate: $198 per month for semaglutide and $298 for tirzepatide covers medication and a required membership with no separate consult fees.
• You are comfortable with a required $99-per-month membership structure in exchange for consolidated billing and access to coaching or community features (confirm current membership benefits at enrollment).

Choose Embody if…

• You want same-price-at-every-dose simplicity and are willing to pay $299 per month for semaglutide or $349 for tirzepatide with no membership fee.
• You value flat-rate predictability even if the headline number is higher than Lavender Sky's starting-dose effective cost or PlexusDx's six-month prepaid rate.

Choose TrimRx if…

• You are comfortable navigating the difference between advertised rates ($199 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide) and checkout-verified ongoing rates ($299 semaglutide, $399 tirzepatide), and you plan to use a three-, six-, or twelve-month prepaid plan to lower the per-month cost.
• You want access to prepaid discounts but prefer not to commit upfront to the full year that Found's lowest rate requires.

Choose Found if…

• You are willing to prepay twelve months to access the lowest advertised per-month equivalent in this comparison ($169/month for semaglutide on Found's twelve-month cash plan), or you prefer month-to-month billing at $289 semaglutide / $359 tirzepatide if annual prepayment does not fit your budget or timeline.
• You want a provider with an established telehealth weight-management program that integrates coaching, community, and clinical oversight in one subscription (confirm current program features at enrollment).

Methodology and freshness

We captured Lavender Sky Health pricing and structure on September 4, 2026 (Source 2, 3). Competitor pricing for PlexusDx, Eden, Embody, Found, Henry Meds, Peak Wellness, and TrimRx was verified between July 17 and July 23, 2026 (Source 1), from each provider's public site or checkout flow. PlexusDx review data was captured from trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com on September 9, 2026 (Source 4). All 12-month total-cost and effective-monthly figures are our calculations, built by multiplying published per-month or per-cycle rates across a 12-month period and adding documented one-time or periodic fees (initial consult, follow-up consult, membership). Lavender Sky's 12-month calculation assumes starting dose throughout, one initial consult, and one follow-up consult at month six; actual costs will differ if dose increases, pharmacy pricing varies, or additional consults are required. PlexusDx prepaid per-month rates (three-month and six-month plans) are per-month equivalents of prepaid totals. Where a provider advertises an introductory, first-month, or promotional rate, we label it explicitly and present it alongside the standard ongoing or refill rate so the recurring cost is transparent. We do not publish promotional codes or derive prices by applying unpublished discounts. Every price in this article carries its source and capture date. If you encounter a different price at checkout, that conflict is decision-useful information; contact the provider to confirm current rates, eligibility, and any fees not reflected in the advertised figure before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Lavender Sky Health's advertised semaglutide rate include provider visits?

No. Lavender Sky's advertised per-month equivalent is a breakdown of a $190 two-month prepaid medication supply and does not include consult fees. You pay $65 for an initial provider consult and $40 for follow-up consults every six to twelve months separately. When consult fees are folded in, the effective monthly cost over 12 months is approximately $104, assuming starting dose and one follow-up visit.

Can I pay month-to-month with Lavender Sky Health?

Lavender Sky requires you to purchase compounded medication in two-month supplies, paid upfront ($190 for semaglutide, $210 for tirzepatide at starting dose). This is not a true month-to-month billing structure; you commit to and pay for two months of medication at each refill. If you want to pause or cancel after one month, you may forfeit part of the prepaid supply.

How does Lavender Sky Health's pricing compare to PlexusDx at higher doses?

Lavender Sky states that pricing varies by dose, pharmacy, and supply length but does not publish a dose-escalation schedule. PlexusDx charges the same rate at every dose: $189 per month for semaglutide and $289 for tirzepatide (month-to-month), or $149 and $249 on six-month prepaid plans. If you escalate dose, Lavender Sky's per-month equivalent may rise above its advertised starting-dose rate, potentially closing or reversing the initial price advantage.

Does PlexusDx charge separately for follow-up provider visits?

No. PlexusDx includes provider access in the monthly medication subscription at no additional charge. There is no separate consult fee, no membership fee, and no line-item charge for asynchronous messages or follow-up visits within the subscription period. The published rate ($189 semaglutide, $289 tirzepatide month-to-month) covers medication, shipping, and ongoing provider access.

Which provider offers the lowest 12-month cost for compounded semaglutide?

If you remain at starting dose throughout and require only the minimum consult schedule, Lavender Sky Health's effective 12-month cost is approximately $1,245 (roughly $104/month, our calculation), the lowest in this comparison. PlexusDx's six-month prepaid semaglutide plan totals $1,788 over 12 months ($149/month prepaid, our calculation). Found's twelve-month cash prepaid plan is advertised at a $169-per-month equivalent. Eden's ongoing rate is $198/month ($2,376 over 12 months). If you escalate dose or require additional consults, Lavender Sky's total may rise; confirm pricing at your target dose before committing.
