Short answer: Oak Longevity scores higher on our rubric, 7.5/10 against 5.7/10. Full reasoning, pricing and the cases where the other one wins are below.

Oak Longevity beats MEDVi overall, scoring 7.5/10 vs 5.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MEDVi is $179 first month, then $299/mo; Oak Longevity is from $167/mo. Choose MEDVi for users who want both oral and injectable compounded options in one telehealth program. Choose Oak Longevity for budget-conscious users who want one of the cheapest compounded glp-1 entries, a flat price across every dose, and a longevity-stack add-on (nad+, glutathione, sermorelin).

MEDVi

#42 of 54
5.7/10

MEDVi offers a weekly compounded GLP-1 injection and a daily compounded tablet. The injection is $179 for month one and $299 for refills. Trustpilot is 4.3 out of 5 across 14,680 reviews, while BBB is F/not accredited. FDA warning letter #721455 concerns misleading labeling and marketing, not an allegation that the medication was unsafe.

Oak Longevity

#18 of 54
7.5/10

Telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at the lower end of market pricing, across injectable and non-injectable routes, alongside a longevity stack (NAD+, Glutathione, Sermorelin). Every dose is priced the same, so titrating up does not raise the monthly cost. Plans run as a subscription that renews automatically and can be cancelled from the account at any time.

Why each oneA daily dissolvable GLP-1 tablet and a weekly compounded injection in one program, plus brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound on a $99 membership.
One price per medication regardless of dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill. Combined with three compounded routes and a longevity peptide menu, Oak reads as a 'menu' platform rather than the typical single-product flow.

Pros & Cons Compared

MEDVi

Pros

  • +One of the few compounded providers offering both oral tablets and injectable semaglutide
  • +The landing page says the program is HSA and FSA eligible and includes dietician visits and care coaching, with a footnote making that subject to insurance and copay eligibility
  • +Sleek onboarding experience with clear progress tracking through their patient portal
  • +$179 covers the first month of compounded semaglutide on MEDVi's landing page, including physician review, the personalized plan, medication and free shipping

Cons

  • FDA warning letter #721455, issued February 20, 2026, cites misleading labeling and marketing that implied MEDVi compounded the drugs and that compounded products were equivalent to or FDA-evaluated like approved brands. The letter does not allege unsafe medication
  • Its third-party records conflict: 4.3 out of 5 across 14,680 Trustpilot reviews with 12 percent of them at one star, against an F and no accreditation at the BBB
  • The $179 semaglutide price covers month one only; the FAQ on MEDVi's own landing page says refills are locked in at $299 a month, making the first year $3,468 rather than $2,148
  • Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound paths add a $99 membership plus a medication cost the page does not publish, and the same page's hero says "No membership or hidden fees!" directly above those cards; availability is subject to change
  • No insurance accepted, and oral compounded semaglutide has less clinical data than injectable forms

Oak Longevity

Pros

  • +A $167/mo starting price on its compounded semaglutide page, with no membership fee, free shipping and free health coaching included
  • +Every dose costs the same, so moving to a higher dose during titration does not raise the monthly bill, stated on the product page and in the blog
  • +Three compounded routes including a non-injectable oral or sublingual option, unusual at this price
  • +Longevity peptides (NAD+, Glutathione, Sermorelin) sit alongside the GLP-1 menu on one platform
  • +Money-back guarantee if not approved by physician, useful safety net for borderline-eligibility patients
  • +Free shipping and free health coaching included in every program

Cons

  • Compounded is all you can actually buy. Its employer page says brand name is available alongside compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide, but no consumer page sells a brand product and the site has no Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic or Mounjaro page (rendered check 2026-09-03)
  • Obesity-certified doctors are advertised on the weight loss page, but no clinician roster or credentials are published, and no lab panels or blood work are offered anywhere on the site (rendered check 2026-09-03)
  • The 'up to 50% cheaper than competitors' marketing claim is unverified and inconsistent, judge Oak on its posted prices, which are genuinely low, not on the slogan
  • The longevity add-ons it lists (NAD+, Glutathione, Sermorelin) have limited clinical evidence for weight loss specifically, if weight loss is the goal, the GLP-1 alone does the work and the stack is optional
  • The operating entity appears only in the footer and legal pages, as Leaf Longevity Holdings Corp trading as Oak Longevity, and no founding date, named leadership, about page or team page exists on the site (rendered check 2026-09-03)
  • Its published starting price is not consistent: $119 a month in the homepage FAQ, $167 on the compounded semaglutide page, $180 in its own blog and $190 on the weight loss page, so settle the figure at checkout before you commit

Our Verdict

Oak Longevity edges out MEDVi with a score of 7.5/10 vs 5.7/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MEDVi is $179 first month, then $299/mo; Oak Longevity is from $167/mo. MEDVi offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Both MEDVi and Oak Longevity start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 54 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
