Pros & Cons Compared

Ivim Health

Pros

+$75/mo starting price is among the lowest in the market for a program with actual provider oversight
+Bi-weekly provider check-ins included — more frequent than most platforms at this price point
+Personalized titration schedules based on individual tolerance, not cookie-cutter dose escalation
+Both brand-name and compounded available, with the option to switch based on response

Cons

−The $75/mo starting price increases with dose — expect $150-200/mo at maintenance doses
−No insurance billing, and the cost increase at higher doses isn't always clearly communicated upfront

Lemonaid Health

Pros

+2026 restructure — $49/mo Weight Loss Membership (replaces the old $25/visit model)
+6-month plan discount — compounded tirzepatide drops to $229/mo on a 6-month commitment
+Wide medication menu: compounded sema, compounded tirz, compounded microdoses ($199), brand-name Zepbound via LillyDirect ($299-449), and metformin
+Established since 2013 with physician-only prescribing and rigorous intake

Cons

−Membership and medication billed separately — the $49/mo number is just the membership, not all-in
−Brand-name Wegovy ($1,599) and Ozempic ($1,199) cash prices are high — read as access, not value
−Best compounded pricing requires a 6-month commitment
−The 23andMe acquisition created some uncertainty about the platform's long-term focus
