Allara Health
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes clinician visits and coaching

MEDVi
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits, shipping and coaching
- Serves 48 states
- Names 3 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $249 a month, 35% above the $184 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- The FDA has issued MEDVi a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Our Verdict
MEDVi wins this one, 7.1 to 6.1, above all for knowing which pharmacy fills the vial: it names Triad Rx. Allara Health fits better if coaching bundled into the price rather than sold separately is your priority.
