The bundling is the point. At providers that price à la carte, the advertised medication price is the beginning of the bill, not the end of it. Medvi's price is the end of it - which makes it one of the easiest bills in this market to actually budget for.

embody offers doctor-prescribed GLP-1 weight loss treatment - compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections - through a 100% online process. Getting started takes a roughly 5-minute health qualifier, after which a medical practitioner reviews your chart (embody says usually within 24 hours, often under 5). Pricing is flat and simple: $69/month for semaglutide and $119/month for tirzepatide, with no insurance required, no hidden fees, and no clinic visits. Medication ships in 1-2 days in temperature-controlled, tracked, insured packaging, and embody is LegitScript-certified and works with US-based 503A compounding pharmacies. On Trustpilot, embody averages 3.8 across 8,398 reviews - an honest, mixed-to-positive record whose recent reviews cluster around two themes: responsive, proactive customer service ('from my very first inquiry I've had excellent communication... customer service updated me every step,' writes one tirzepatide patient) and the no-surprises pricing ('Love the fact that there are no surprises as in costly up front cost'). A 3.7 also means a minority of customers had negative experiences - worth reading both ends of the reviews before deciding, as with any provider.

Most Comprehensive GLP-1 Medication Access
Treatments offered
Compounded semaglutide (GLP-1) injection · Compounded tirzepatide (GLP-1 + GIP) injection · Brand-name Zepbound and Wegovy · One simple injection per week
Starting price
$199$89/month
*Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
- Compounded GLP-1 from $89/mo, GLP-1 + GIP from $149/mo
- Brand-name options too: Zepbound and Wegovy
- Clinician-guided - physician, PA, or nurse practitioner
- Free shipping (about 5-7 days)
from $89/month
altRx bills itself as "the #1 most affordable GLP-1 program," and its published prices largely back that up: compounded GLP-1 (semaglutide) from $89/month and GLP-1 + GIP (tirzepatide) from $149/month - flat at every dose, so the price doesn't climb as you titrate up - alongside one of the few genuine brand-name shelves in this space (Ozempic $1,149, Zepbound $1,249, Wegovy $1,579 per month). It's a self-pay telehealth service: you complete a short assessment, a licensed provider (physician, PA, or nurse practitioner) reviews it, and if appropriate a prescription goes to a licensed US pharmacy, with free shipping in about 5-7 days. No insurance is required, Buy Now, Pay Later is available, and you can pause or cancel anytime. Two things to know before the details: shipping is slower than the 1-2 day providers (embody, DirectMeds), and Trustpilot does not currently display an aggregate score on altRx's profile - the individual reviews we quote on this page are real, but there's no independent average to lean on the way there is for rivals like Medvi (4.3 across 14,836) or embody (3.8 across 8,398). One of the real 4-star reviews we surface notes a refill 'yet to be fulfilled with zero reason as to why' - worth factoring in alongside the price advantage.

A year on Medvi: the honest math
Nobody should start a GLP-1 for one month - clinically meaningful results build over months, with dose titration along the way (see what the first month really looks like). So price it like what it is, a recurring commitment:
| Timeline | Semaglutide ($99/mo promo) | Tirzepatide ($166/mo promo) |
|---|---|---|
| 3 months | $297 | $498 |
| 6 months | $594 | $996 |
| 12 months | $1,188 | $1,992 |
Two things make that math kinder than it looks. Dose increases are already priced in - many rivals charge more as you titrate up, Medvi doesn't. And HSA/FSA eligibility means those figures can effectively shrink by your marginal tax rate if you pay with pre-tax dollars. The tirzepatide plan has its own breakdown in our Medvi tirzepatide cost guide.

How does Medvi's $99 compare to other providers?
Against the rest of our ranking, at each provider's real listed prices:
| Provider | Semaglutide | Tirzepatide | Pricing model |
|---|---|---|---|
| wellmedr | $49/mo | $89/mo | 12-month lock for best rate |
| embody | $69/mo | $119/mo | Flat monthly, no commitment |
| altRx | $89/mo | $149/mo | Flat at every dose, BNPL |
| HealthRx | $99/mo | from $179/mo | 12-month prepaid ($1,188 upfront) |
| DirectMeds | $147/mo | $147/mo | Flat, needle-free option |
| Medvi | $99/mo promo (reg. $199) | $166/mo promo (reg. $299) | Monthly all-inclusive + coaching |
| SHED | $199/mo | $299/mo | Coaching + money-back guarantee |
At its regular $199/$299 rates Medvi prices near the top of the compounded market - but the current $99/$166 promotion drops it into the value tier while keeping the bundle. The fair question is what the premium (if any) buys. The answer, per its own 14,836 Trustpilot reviews at 4.3: the human layer - video visits, thorough providers, dietician support. Nobody in the cheaper tier bundles that.
Is Medvi worth it?
Worth it: if support determines whether you succeed. If you've tried medication-only approaches and stalled, if you want a provider who takes the call rather than an inbox, if a dietician guiding your food changes sounds like the missing piece - that's Medvi's actual product, and its review record says it delivers.
Not worth it: if you're self-directed and price-sensitive. The same semaglutide runs $49-$99 at wellmedr, embody and HealthRx; over a year the gap is four figures. The medication doesn't know what you paid for it - the difference is entirely in the care around it.
