How we are paid: one company on this page — Coreage Rx — pays us a commission if you sign up through our link. It does not buy a better score, a higher position, or the removal of a single criticism. Our rating method and full disclosure are both public.


Both sell tirzepatide. Ozari Health costs $125 a month and LifeMD costs $149, a difference of $24 a month or about $288 a year. The other differences matter more than the money if this is your first course.

Ozari Health is lowest advertised semaglutide price. LifeMD is insurance coordination. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — particularly if this is your first course and you expect a slow titration.

What this means for your titration. Both price the same way as your dose climbs, so the gap between them stays constant the whole way up the ladder.

What each programme publishes: Ozari Health

  • Compounded semaglutide advertised from $86/month — the lowest verified rate in this comparison.
  • Compounded tirzepatide advertised from $125/month.
  • No membership fee; free expedited 3-5 day shipping included.
  • HSA and FSA accepted; no insurance billing.
  • Physician review through Arora Health, the same clinical network behind Trimi, with named medical directors.
  • States on its own pages that compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
  • Publishes verbatim Trustpilot reviews rather than curated testimonials.

Where it wins: The lowest advertised compounded semaglutide price we have verified. Watch for: Confirm whether $86 is a month-to-month rate or requires a longer commitment, and ask which pharmacy compounds it.

What each programme publishes: LifeMD

  • GLP-1 injection programme listed at $75 first month, then $149/month.
  • Annual plan advertised as low as $75/month.
  • Programme fee does not include medication when medication is branded and billed to insurance.
  • Markets insurance coordination that can reduce semaglutide cost to roughly $25/month where coverage applies.

Where it wins: Genuine clinician oversight with a physician-led model. Watch for: If your insurer declines, the $149/month programme fee still applies and the medication is extra.

Which suits you

  • Pick Ozari Health if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $288, which is real money for the same class of medication.
  • Pick LifeMD if what it does better matters to you — genuine clinician oversight with a physician-led model.
  • Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.

The verdict

For most people starting out, Ozari Health at $125 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. LifeMD earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: Ozari Health and LifeMD.
