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

MyStart Health

Pros

+Price Lock Guarantee ensures your monthly rate never increases even as your GLP-1 dose escalates, a genuine differentiator
+Competitive pricing at $149-$179/mo for compounded semaglutide with free shipping included
+Access to 600+ board-certified doctors with unlimited clinician messaging at no additional cost
+HSA/FSA eligible, can use pre-tax health savings to pay for treatment

Cons

−Cash-pay only, no insurance accepted. If your plan covers GLP-1s, price that route first; HSA/FSA cards do work here
−Select states only, not all 50, and the exact list isn't published. Confirm your state during the intake quiz before paying
−Compounded medications only, no brand-name GLP-1 option on the menu
