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

Shed

Pros

+Industry-leading delivery speed, most patients receive medication within 2-3 days of enrollment
+$199/mo is competitively priced for an all-inclusive compounded program with good support
+Streamlined onboarding with no video call, approved and shipped faster than most competitors
+Clean, modern UX with real-time shipping tracking and easy provider messaging

Cons

−The core $199 program is compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide; brand-name access runs through a separate $99/mo pathway subscription with medication billed at pharmacy rates on top
−Newer company (founded 2024) with limited long-term track record and outcome data; the 4.6/5 Trustpilot rating across 766 reviews is the strongest early evidence available
−No insurance billing and no FSA/HSA superbills currently available
−Clinical support is responsive (replies typically within 24 hours) but less proactive than premium platforms; a $49.99/mo premium coaching add-on covers those who want higher touch

Ivim Health edges out Shed with a score of 7.9/10 vs 7.8/10. If budget is your priority, Ivim Health starts at $150/mo compared to Shed's $199/mo.
