The short answer

IVIM Health's least expensive option—a 6-month semaglutide bundle at $600 upfront plus $75/month membership (first month free)—costs an effective $168.75/month over 12 months. The 4-month semaglutide bundle costs $193.50/month over 12 months. Tirzepatide runs $252.08/month (6-month bundle) or $293.75/month (4-month bundle) over 12 months. Every IVIM plan separates medication (prepaid) from membership (recurring monthly), and the first membership month is free. Month-to-month medication options are not documented; prepaid bundles are the only verified structure. Renewal terms after the initial bundle expires should be confirmed at checkout.

Breaking down IVIM's two-part pricing

IVIM Health separates medication cost from membership. You pay the medication bundle upfront (4 or 6 months), then pay $75 each month for membership starting in month two (the first membership month is free). That structure means:

• 6-month semaglutide: $600 medication upfront, then $75 × 5 months membership = $975 for the first six months, or $162.50/month. Renewing the same bundle for months 7–12 adds another $600 medication plus $75 × 6 months membership ($450), bringing the 12-month total to $2,025—an effective $168.75/month.
• 4-month semaglutide: $499 medication upfront, then $75 × 3 months membership = $724 for the first four months, or $181/month. Renewing twice more over 12 months yields a total of $2,322, or $193.50/month.
• 6-month tirzepatide: $1,100 medication upfront, then $75 × 5 months membership = $1,475 for six months, or $245.83/month. Over 12 months (one renewal): $3,025 total, $252.08/month.
• 4-month tirzepatide: $900 medication upfront, then $75 × 3 months membership = $1,125 for four months, or $281.25/month. Over 12 months (two renewals): $3,525 total, $293.75/month.

All per-month figures above are our calculation; IVIM's primary source lists only the upfront bundle prices and the recurring $75 membership charge.

How IVIM's effective monthly cost compares to flat-rate plans

IVIM Health figures are our calculation over 12 months (ivimhealth.com/glp1-pricing/, September 4, 2026). PlexusDx figures are published rates (plexusdx.com, September 15, 2026). All plans include compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide injection, provider visit, and shipping.

IVIM's 6-month semaglutide bundle beats PlexusDx month-to-month by about $20/month over a year, but requires $600 upfront and assumes the same renewal terms. PlexusDx's 6-month commitment ($149/month) beats all IVIM semaglutide options and carries no membership fee. For tirzepatide, PlexusDx's 6-month rate ($249/month) costs slightly less than IVIM's 6-month bundle ($252.08/month) and significantly less than IVIM's 4-month option ($293.75/month).

Hidden costs and renewal uncertainty

IVIM's two-part pricing makes apples-to-apples comparison harder. The advertised bundle prices look low—a $100/month prepaid equivalent for semaglutide, $183.33/month for tirzepatide—but those figures exclude the recurring membership charge. Adding $75 every month (minus the free first month) lifts the true cost substantially.

More important: IVIM's primary pricing page documents only prepaid bundles. Whether you can switch to month-to-month billing after the first bundle, renew the same prepaid terms, or must commit to another upfront payment is not stated. Our 12-month calculations assume you can renew the same bundle; if renewal terms differ, the effective monthly cost will change. Confirm renewal and cancellation policies at checkout before committing.

What the longer prepaid bundle buys you

Choosing IVIM's 6-month bundle over the 4-month bundle lowers your effective monthly cost by about $25 for semaglutide and $42 for tirzepatide, but requires a larger upfront payment and locks you in for two additional months. If you stop treatment or switch providers before the bundle expires, you lose the remaining prepaid months; IVIM's refund or credit policy for unused medication is not documented in the verified evidence.

Choose IVIM Health if…

• You want a low per-month semaglutide cost among prepaid-only providers and can afford $600 upfront plus recurring $75 membership.
• You value the ability to access both compounded and branded GLP-1 medications through one membership (branded options and pricing not detailed in this comparison).
• You are confident you will complete the full prepaid bundle duration and renewal terms meet your needs.

Where PlexusDx fits

PlexusDx eliminates the membership layer: $189/month for semaglutide or $289/month for tirzepatide, month-to-month, with visit, medication, and shipping included. Multi-month commitments lower the rate further—$149/month for semaglutide and $249/month for tirzepatide on a 6-month plan—and cost less than IVIM's equivalent prepaid bundles once membership is included. You pay one charge each month with no upfront lump sum, and the same price applies at every dose. If you want budget predictability, no membership overhead, and the flexibility to pause or stop without losing prepaid months, PlexusDx's structure is simpler. PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot, with 79% of reviews at five stars and 83% at four stars or higher (captured September 9, 2026; trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com).
