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. Trimi costs $125 a month and Lemonaid Health costs $348, a difference of $223 a month or about $2,676 a year. The other differences matter more than the money if this is your first course.

Trimi is lowest flat price with named pharmacies. Lemonaid Health is established platform with multi-month discounts. 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. Trimi holds one price at every dose and Lemonaid Health does not — so this gap widens as you titrate toward a therapeutic dose, exactly when you can least afford a surprise.

What each programme publishes: Trimi

  • Compounded tirzepatide advertised at $125/month on the annual plan.
  • Compounded semaglutide advertised at $99/month on the annual plan.
  • Price is the same at every prescribed dose.
  • One flat charge covers medication, clinician visits, check-ins and free overnight shipping; no separate membership.
  • Names its compounding pharmacies publicly: VialsRx (Texas Board of Pharmacy #35264) and GreenwichRx, with a certificate of analysis available on request.
  • Medical oversight via Arora Health, a 50-state network led by Dr. Sean Arora, MD.
  • Advertises a six-month money-back promise subject to terms.

Where it wins: The cheapest verified flat rate for compounded tirzepatide in this comparison. Watch for: Both headline prices are annual-plan rates. Confirm the month-to-month figure and the refund terms before prepaying twelve months.

What each programme publishes: Lemonaid Health

  • GLP-1 programmes advertised from $129/month.
  • Membership is $49/month after the first month.
  • Compounded tirzepatide: $299/month monthly, $249/month on a 3-month plan, $229/month on a 6-month plan.
  • A compounded tirzepatide microdose tier is listed at $199/month.
  • Medication is billed separately from the membership.

Where it wins: Multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially. Watch for: Add $49/month to every price you are quoted. The advertised $129 is a programme floor, not the injection cost.

Which suits you

  • Pick Trimi if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $2,676, which is real money for the same class of medication.
  • Pick Lemonaid Health if what it does better matters to you — multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially.
  • If sourcing matters, note that Trimi publishes which pharmacy compounds its medication and Lemonaid Health does not.

The verdict

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