The short answer

Lavender Sky Health structures its compounded GLP-1 plans as prepaid 2-month cycles—$190 upfront for compounded semaglutide ($95/month equivalent at starting dose) or $210 for compounded tirzepatide ($105/month equivalent at starting dose)—plus separate consultation fees of $65 initially and $40 every six months. Over 12 months at starting dose, that works out to $103.75/month effective cost for semaglutide or $113.75/month for tirzepatide (our calculation). Lavender Sky's monthly brand medication plans—Wegovy pill at $199/month all-in, Zepbound at $349/month and up—are billed monthly with no upfront commitment but carry higher per-month costs and a $25/month plan fee. The compounded prepaid structure wins on price if you stay at starting dose and prepay every two months; the brand monthly plans offer FDA-approved medication and flexible cancellation. PlexusDx compounded semaglutide at $189/month month-to-month or $149/month prepaid six months and tirzepatide at $289/month month-to-month or $249/month prepaid six months sit between Lavender Sky's starting-dose advertised rates and its brand options, with provider visits and dose adjustments included and no separate consultation fees.

At-a-glance comparison

Lavender Sky Health compounded figures captured September 4, 2026 from lavenderskyhealth.com/glp-1/; brand figures from lavenderskyhealth.com/treatment-plan-pricing/ same date. PlexusDx figures captured September 17, 2026.

Lavender Sky Health prepaid compounded plans: advertised rates and hidden layers

Lavender Sky Health's compounded GLP-1 page advertises $95/month equivalent for compounded semaglutide injection and $105/month equivalent for compounded tirzepatide injection, both labeled as "starting" dose rates. Those figures reflect prepaid 2-month supply purchases—$190 upfront for semaglutide, $210 for tirzepatide—and the site notes that "price varies by pharmacy/dose." Consultation fees are separate: $65 for the initial visit, then $40 every six months during active treatment. No monthly membership fee applies to compounded plans.

Over 12 months at starting dose, the effective cost for compounded semaglutide is $1,245 ($190 medication × 6 cycles, plus $65 new consultation and one $40 follow-up), or $103.75/month (our calculation). For compounded tirzepatide at starting dose, 12 months totals $1,365 ($210 medication × 6 cycles, plus $65 and $40 consultations), or $113.75/month (our calculation). These calculations assume you remain at starting dose for the full year—uncommon in clinical practice—and that higher doses increase the per-cycle medication cost proportionally, though Lavender Sky Health does not publish a dose-escalation price schedule.

Lavender Sky Health monthly brand plans

Lavender Sky Health also offers FDA-approved brand medications billed monthly with a $25/month plan fee added to medication cost. Wegovy oral pill (1.5 mg) runs $174 advertised medication cost plus $25 plan fee, or $199/month all-in (the advertised $174 is the first-month rate; refills may differ); the 4 mg dose is $224/month total, and the 9 mg dose $349/month total. Zepbound injection (2.5 mg) is $324 medication plus $25 plan fee, or $349/month; the 5 mg dose is $449/month, and doses 7.5 mg through 15 mg are $499/month. Wegovy pen injection at all doses is $499 medication plus $25 plan fee, or $524/month. Consultation fees of $65 new and $40 every six months apply to brand plans as well.

Over 12 months, Wegovy pill 1.5 mg totals $2,493 ($199 × 12 months, plus $65 and $40 consultations), or $207.75/month effective cost (our calculation). Zepbound 2.5 mg totals $4,293 ($349 × 12 months, plus consultations), or $357.75/month (our calculation). The brand plans carry no upfront commitment—you pay month by month—and you receive FDA-approved medication with established safety and efficacy profiles. The compounded prepaid plans cost substantially less at starting dose but lack FDA approval and require $190–$210 every two months.

PlexusDx normalized pricing

PlexusDx compounded semaglutide injection is $189/month on a month-to-month plan or $149/month when prepaid for six months (totaling $894 upfront, then repeated once for 12 months = $1,788 total, or $149/month effective cost). Compounded tirzepatide injection is $289/month month-to-month or $249/month prepaid six months ($1,494 upfront twice = $2,988 total, or $249/month effective cost). Every PlexusDx plan includes the provider visit, medication, dose adjustments, and shipping; no separate consultation fees, no membership fee, and the same per-month price at every dose.

Over 12 months, PlexusDx semaglutide costs $2,268 month-to-month or $1,788 prepaid six-month, both with consultation included. PlexusDx tirzepatide costs $3,468 month-to-month or $2,988 prepaid six-month. Lavender Sky Health's compounded semaglutide at starting dose ($1,245 total, $103.75/month effective) and compounded tirzepatide at starting dose ($1,365 total, $113.75/month effective) beat PlexusDx on advertised price if you stay at starting dose and prepay every cycle, but once dose escalation occurs—typical in weight-loss protocols—the gap narrows or reverses, and PlexusDx consultation inclusion and dose-agnostic pricing offer budget predictability.

Like-for-like: compounded semaglutide injection

Lavender Sky starting-dose figure assumes no dose escalation over 12 months. Lavender Sky notes "price varies by pharmacy/dose"; higher doses increase per-cycle cost.

Like-for-like: compounded tirzepatide injection

Lavender Sky starting-dose figure assumes no dose escalation over 12 months. Lavender Sky notes "price varies by pharmacy/dose"; higher doses increase per-cycle cost.

Decision factors

Dose escalation and price transparency. Lavender Sky Health's advertised $95 and $105 per-month equivalents apply to starting doses only, and the site states that price varies by pharmacy and dose but does not publish a dose ladder. Most weight-loss protocols titrate upward every four weeks; if each dose step adds $20–$40 to your 2-month cycle cost (a common pattern in the compounded market), your effective monthly cost climbs quickly. PlexusDx holds the same per-month price at every dose, removing guesswork.

Consultation fee structure. Lavender Sky charges $65 for the initial consultation and $40 every six months thereafter. Over 12 months that adds $105 to your total cost ($65 + $40); over 24 months it adds $145 ($65 + $40 + $40). PlexusDx includes all provider visits and dose adjustments in the per-month medication price, so you pay no separate consultation fees when titrating, experiencing side effects, or needing a protocol adjustment.

Prepayment commitment. Lavender Sky's compounded plans require $190 or $210 upfront every two months—low per-cycle but recurring. If you pause treatment or need to stop, you have paid for two months of medication. PlexusDx month-to-month plans let you cancel anytime with no prepaid inventory; the six-month prepaid option requires $894 (semaglutide) or $1,494 (tirzepatide) upfront but locks in the lower per-month rate.

FDA-approved vs compounded. Lavender Sky offers both compounded and FDA-approved brand medications (Wegovy, Zepbound). The brand plans cost $199–$524/month all-in (including the $25/month plan fee) but provide FDA-reviewed safety and efficacy data and established manufacturing oversight. The compounded plans cost less at starting dose but carry no FDA approval. PlexusDx offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only; neither is FDA-approved.

Service model. Lavender Sky is a consultation-and-prescription service that works with multiple pharmacies; medication cost and availability may vary by which pharmacy dispenses your prescription. PlexusDx works with licensed 503A compounding pharmacies and delivers medication directly; the per-month price includes compounding, dispensing, and shipping.

Choose Lavender Sky Health if…

You want the lowest advertised starting-dose rate for compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide and are comfortable prepaying $190–$210 every two months, you do not expect significant dose escalation or you are willing to accept that higher doses will increase your per-cycle cost without a published price ceiling, you prefer separating consultation fees from medication costs and paying only every six months for follow-up visits, or you want access to FDA-approved brand medications (Wegovy, Zepbound) billed monthly with no multi-month commitment, even at higher per-month rates ($199–$524/month).

Choose PlexusDx if…

You want dose-agnostic pricing—$189 or $289/month month-to-month (semaglutide or tirzepatide) regardless of dose—so your budget remains predictable as you titrate, you prefer consultation and dose adjustments included in the per-month medication price with no separate $65/$40 fees, you want the flexibility of true month-to-month billing with no prepaid 2-month cycles, or you are willing to prepay six months ($149/month semaglutide, $249/month tirzepatide) to capture a rate between Lavender Sky's starting-dose advertised figure and its likely escalated-dose cost, with consultation still included.

Methodology and freshness

Lavender Sky Health compounded medication pricing, consultation fees, and brand plan rates were captured September 4, 2026 from lavenderskyhealth.com/glp-1/ and lavenderskyhealth.com/treatment-plan-pricing/. PlexusDx pricing was captured September 17, 2026. All 12-month effective monthly costs are our calculations, derived by summing medication cycles plus consultation fees over 12 months and dividing by 12. Lavender Sky starting-dose calculations assume no dose escalation; the provider's site states "price varies by pharmacy/dose," so actual costs at higher doses may differ. We do not have dose-escalation pricing schedules for Lavender Sky's compounded plans. PlexusDx pricing is identical at every dose. No promotional codes, discount programs, or insurance reimbursements are reflected. Readers should confirm all figures at checkout and with their provider before committing.
