Short answer: MEDVi scores higher on our rubric, 5.7/10 against 5.3/10. Full reasoning, pricing and the cases where the other one wins are below.

MEDVi beats TrimRx overall, scoring 5.7/10 vs 5.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MEDVi is $179 first month, then $299/mo; TrimRx is published $179/mo; total not verified. Choose MEDVi for users who want both oral and injectable compounded options in one telehealth program. Choose TrimRx for cash-pay shoppers willing to verify the exact drug, first-order charge and follow-up price at checkout before authorizing payment.

MEDVi

#46 of 54
5.7/10

MEDVi offers oral and injectable compounded GLP-1 care. Semaglutide is $179 for month one and $299 for refills. Trustpilot is 4.4/5 across roughly 11,000 reviews, while BBB is F/not accredited. FDA warning letter #721455 concerns misleading labeling and marketing, not an allegation that the medication was unsafe.

TrimRx

#47 of 54
5.3/10

Cash-pay compounded GLP-1 provider offering semaglutide and a dual-agonist option it labels 'GLP-1 + GIP.' Its landing advertises a $179 floor, while its terms list semaglutide at $199 for the first order and $299 for follow-ups, and GLP-1 + GIP at $349 then $399. That conflict, plus a corroborated billing and fulfillment complaint pattern, is central to our 5.3/10 score.

Pros & Cons Compared

MEDVi

Pros

  • +One of the few compounded providers offering both oral tablets and injectable semaglutide
  • +Micro-dosing options available, can start at sub-standard doses for patients concerned about side effects
  • +Sleek onboarding experience with clear progress tracking through their patient portal
  • +$179 covers the first month of compounded semaglutide on the current Katalys landing, including clinician review, medication and 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: 4.4/5 across roughly 11,000 Trustpilot reviews, but an F and no accreditation at the BBB
  • The $179 semaglutide price is introductory; the current Katalys landing says refills are $299/mo, making the first-year total $3,468 rather than $2,148
  • Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound paths add a $99 membership plus the medication cost, which the current landing does not publish; availability can change
  • No insurance accepted, and oral compounded semaglutide has less clinical data than injectable forms

TrimRx

Pros

  • +Offers both compounded semaglutide and a compounded GLP-1 + GIP option through one intake
  • +The landing advertises a $179 entry floor, although that figure does not match the medication schedule in the official terms
  • +Onboarding takes under 15 minutes with same-day provider review for most applications
  • +Free medication replacement if your shipment is lost or damaged in transit

Cons

  • The advertised $179 floor conflicts with TrimRx's own terms: semaglutide is listed at $199 for the first order and $299 for follow-ups; GLP-1 + GIP is $349 first and $399 follow-up. Treat the total as unresolved until checkout
  • Trustpilot is 3.6/5 across 5,485 reviews with 32% one-star; BBB rates TrimRx F/not accredited with 728 unanswered and 221 unresolved complaints
  • The same paid-but-no-medication, billing, refund and fulfillment themes recur across BBB and Trustpilot, meeting our rubric's cross-platform -3.0 fulfillment-failure threshold
  • Compounded only, no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved finished products.
  • No insurance billing and no superbill for out-of-network reimbursement, so treat the monthly price as a pure cash-pay number

Our Verdict

MEDVi edges out TrimRx with a score of 5.7/10 vs 5.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: MEDVi is $179 first month, then $299/mo; TrimRx is published $179/mo; total not verified. MEDVi offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
