The short answer

Lavender Sky Health advertises compounded semaglutide starting at $95 per month (calculated from a $190 two-month prepaid supply) and tirzepatide at $105 per month ($210 prepaid), but those figures exclude consultation fees and vary by pharmacy, dose, and supply length. A new consultation costs $65, and follow-up visits cost $40 every six months during maintenance, adding $8.75 per month over twelve months (our calculation). The effective monthly cost for compounded semaglutide becomes approximately $103.75 when consultation fees are included, and $113.75 for tirzepatide, both over twelve months at the advertised starting rate. PlexusDx charges $189 per month for compounded semaglutide injection and $289 for tirzepatide injection on a month-to-month basis, with provider visits and ongoing support included in the medication price—no separate consultation fees and no membership fees. Lavender Sky Health separates medication cost from provider cost; PlexusDx bundles them. The right choice depends on whether you value the lowest advertised medication price with separate visit billing, or a single predictable fee that covers both medication and provider access.

At-a-glance comparison

Lavender Sky Health pricing captured September 4, 2026; PlexusDx pricing captured September 5, 2026.

Normalized 12-month cost: medication plus provider access

Lavender Sky Health's advertised starting rates require prepaying for two months of medication at a time and do not include consultation fees. When you add the cost of provider visits—$65 for the initial consultation and $40 for a six-month follow-up—the effective monthly cost rises beyond the advertised figures.

Lavender Sky Health compounded semaglutide (advertised starting scenario)

• Medication: 6 cycles × $190 per two-month supply = $1,140/year, or $95/month (our calculation from prepaid supply)
• Consultation fees: $65 new consult (month 1) + $40 follow-up (month 6) = $105/year, or $8.75/month (our calculation)
• 12-month all-in: $1,245 total, or $103.75/month (our calculation)

This calculation assumes the advertised starting medication rate remains constant across all doses and pharmacies over the year. Lavender Sky Health states that prices vary by pharmacy, dose, and supply length, so actual costs may differ.

Lavender Sky Health compounded tirzepatide (advertised starting scenario)

• Medication: 6 cycles × $210 per two-month supply = $1,260/year, or $105/month (our calculation from prepaid supply)
• Consultation fees: $65 new consult (month 1) + $40 follow-up (month 6) = $105/year, or $8.75/month (our calculation)
• 12-month all-in: $1,365 total, or $113.75/month (our calculation)

PlexusDx compounded semaglutide injection (month-to-month)

• Medication + provider access: $189/month × 12 = $2,268/year, or $189/month
• Consultation fees: None—provider visits included
• Membership fees: None

PlexusDx compounded tirzepatide injection (month-to-month)

• Medication + provider access: $289/month × 12 = $3,468/year, or $289/month
• Consultation fees: None—provider visits included
• Membership fees: None

PlexusDx compounded semaglutide injection (6-month prepaid)

• Medication + provider access: $149/month × 12 = $1,788/year, or $149/month (6-month commitment, our calculation from prepaid rate)
• Consultation fees: None—provider visits included

PlexusDx's six-month prepaid rate for compounded semaglutide injection narrows the gap: $149 per month versus Lavender Sky Health's $103.75 effective monthly rate (advertised starting scenario with consultation fees included). PlexusDx's rate is fixed regardless of dose; Lavender Sky Health's rate varies by pharmacy and dose, meaning the advertised starting figure may not reflect your actual cost as dose increases.

Decision factors: advertised low rate vs. bundled simplicity

Lavender Sky Health's structural cost advantage—and its limits

Lavender Sky Health advertises a lower starting medication cost than PlexusDx: $95 per month equivalent for compounded semaglutide and $105 for tirzepatide, compared to PlexusDx's $189 and $289 month-to-month rates. Even after adding consultation fees—$8.75 per month over twelve months in the maintenance scenario we modeled—Lavender Sky Health's effective rate of approximately $103.75 for semaglutide remains lower than PlexusDx's month-to-month price.

Three structural factors limit the reach of that advantage:

1. Pharmacy and dose variability. Lavender Sky Health states that compounded medication prices depend on the pharmacy you choose, the dose prescribed, and the supply length. The advertised starting figures are not guaranteed rates; they are the low end of a range. As your dose titrates upward during initial months, your medication cost may rise.
2. Prepayment requirement. The advertised $95 and $105 monthly equivalents are calculated from two-month prepaid supplies ($190 and $210, respectively). You pay $190 or $210 upfront every two months, not $95 or $105 each month. If cash flow matters more than total cost, the prepayment structure changes the affordability equation.
3. Separate consultation billing. Provider visits are billed separately. A new consultation costs $65; follow-ups cost $40 every six months during maintenance. These fees recur predictably, but they are line items you track and pay outside the medication charge. If you need unscheduled provider contact between the six-month follow-ups, confirm whether additional consultation fees apply.

PlexusDx's bundled model: higher sticker price, fewer moving parts

PlexusDx charges $189 per month for compounded semaglutide injection and $289 for tirzepatide injection on a month-to-month basis—higher than Lavender Sky Health's advertised starting rates even after consultation fees are added. The structural trade-off: provider access, prescription, medication, and shipping are bundled into one monthly price with no separate visit fees, no membership fees, and the same price at every dose.

If you titrate from a starting dose to a maintenance dose over six months, your PlexusDx price remains $189 (semaglutide) or $289 (tirzepatide) every month. Lavender Sky Health's medication cost may rise as dose increases, depending on the pharmacy and supply length you select. The gap between the two programs narrows—or reverses—at higher doses if Lavender Sky Health's pharmacy-dependent pricing increases faster than PlexusDx's flat rate absorbs.

PlexusDx also offers six-month prepaid plans at lower monthly rates: $149 for semaglutide injection and $249 for tirzepatide injection. These prepaid rates bring PlexusDx closer to Lavender Sky Health's effective cost in our modeled scenario, though Lavender Sky Health retains an advertised advantage at the starting medication rates we captured.

Branded medication access

Lavender Sky Health offers FDA-approved branded medications alongside compounded options: Wegovy Pill starting at $199 per month (1.5 mg dose, including a $25 monthly plan fee), Wegovy Pen at $524 per month (all doses), and Zepbound starting at $349 per month (2.5 mg dose). PlexusDx does not offer branded medications; all options are compounded and not FDA-approved.

If you prefer an FDA-approved medication or anticipate a future switch from compounded to branded therapy, Lavender Sky Health supports that pathway within one service relationship. The branded options carry higher costs than the compounded starting rates, and branded medications require a $25 monthly plan fee on top of medication costs.

Review record and reported experience

PlexusDx holds a 4.2-star rating on Trustpilot, with 76% of reviews at five stars and 81% at four stars or higher (captured September 4, 2026). Lavender Sky Health maintains a Trustpilot profile at https://www.trustpilot.com/review/lavenderskyhealth.com, but we did not capture a rating or review volume during research on September 4, 2026. We recommend checking the profile directly before committing to either program.

Choose Lavender Sky Health if…

• The lowest advertised medication cost is your primary decision criterion, and you are comfortable with prepaying two months at a time.
• You prefer to select your compounding pharmacy from multiple partner options rather than use a single assigned pharmacy.
• You want access to FDA-approved branded medications (Wegovy, Zepbound) alongside compounded options, even if branded costs are higher.
• You are willing to track and pay consultation fees separately from medication costs, and the $65 new consultation plus $40 follow-up fees every six months fit your budget.
• You accept that your medication cost may vary by pharmacy, dose, and supply length, and you are prepared to confirm pricing at each refill.

Choose PlexusDx if…

• You want one predictable monthly price that includes provider visits, prescription, medication, and shipping with no separate consultation fees.
• You value dose-invariant pricing—paying the same rate whether you are at a starting dose or a maintenance dose.
• You prefer month-to-month flexibility with no prepayment requirement, or you are willing to commit to a six-month prepaid plan for a lower rate ($149/month semaglutide, $249/month tirzepatide).
• You want to avoid tracking multiple line items (medication cost, consultation fees, pharmacy choice variability) and prefer a single bundled charge each month.
• You do not require access to FDA-approved branded medications and are comfortable with compounded therapy from a 503A compounding pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Lavender Sky Health's advertised compounded medication rates of $95/month equivalent (semaglutide) and $105/month equivalent (tirzepatide) cover medication and shipping only. Consultation fees are separate: $65 for a new consult and $40 for follow-up visits every six months during maintenance. When consultation fees are included, the effective monthly cost over twelve months rises to approximately $103.75 for semaglutide and $113.75 for tirzepatide in the scenario we modeled.

Why does Lavender Sky Health say prices vary by pharmacy and dose?

Lavender Sky Health partners with multiple compounding pharmacies, and each pharmacy may price compounded medications differently depending on dose and supply length. The advertised starting rates represent the low end of the range. As your dose increases during titration, your medication cost may rise. Confirm the exact price with your chosen pharmacy at each refill to avoid surprises.

Does PlexusDx charge the same price at every dose?

Yes. PlexusDx charges $189 per month for compounded semaglutide injection and $289 for tirzepatide injection regardless of dose, on a month-to-month basis. If you titrate from a starting dose to a maintenance dose over several months, your monthly price remains the same. Multi-month prepaid plans offer lower rates: $149/month for semaglutide and $249/month for tirzepatide on a six-month commitment.

Can I get FDA-approved Wegovy or Zepbound through either program?

Lavender Sky Health offers FDA-approved branded medications: Wegovy Pill starting at $199/month, Wegovy Pen at $524/month, and Zepbound starting at $349/month. Branded medications require a $25 monthly plan fee in addition to medication costs. PlexusDx does not offer FDA-approved branded medications; all options are compounded from 503A compounding pharmacies and are not FDA-approved.

Which program has the lower total cost over twelve months?

At the advertised starting rates and assuming consultation fees recur every six months, Lavender Sky Health's effective monthly cost for compounded semaglutide is approximately $103.75 and $113.75 for tirzepatide (our calculation). PlexusDx charges $189/month for semaglutide and $289/month for tirzepatide on a month-to-month basis, or $149 and $249 respectively on a six-month prepaid plan. Lavender Sky Health holds the advertised cost advantage in the scenario we modeled, but actual costs depend on pharmacy choice, dose, and supply length. The gap narrows if Lavender Sky Health's medication price rises with dose increases.
