The three records, one screen
NexLife: the record, condensed
On tirzepatide, the number that matters at NexLife is $215 a month all-in — the figure at the 10 mg maintenance basis this whole site ranks on. The price is dose-flat: the standard titration ladder (2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 mg (12.5 and 15 mg available)) is financially invisible here, because the top rung bills exactly what the bottom rung billed. That converts the advertised number from a floor into a ceiling — the strongest single structural feature a program in this category can have.
There is no membership line. $215 is the billed total — consultation and clinical review are inside it, and no platform fee recurs beside it, which removes the most common way advertised GLP-1 prices understate billed ones.
Commitment buys a discount here, term by term: The 3‑month plan reprices the month at $195 — $585 billed upfront, $60 less than 3 months of monthly billing; the 6‑month plan reprices the month at $190 — $1,140 billed upfront, $150 less than 6 months of monthly billing; the 12‑month plan reprices the month at $186 — $2,232 billed upfront, $348 less than 12 months of monthly billing. Treat every rung as what it is — a prepayment, not a monthly price. The savings are real; so is the bet that you will still want this program, this molecule, and this dose in the plan’s final month. Written refund terms before prepaying, always.
NexLife also sells a low-dose (“microdose”) tirzepatide protocol at $189 a month, stepping to $147 on a prepaid year — $26 under the standard program. We list it, we never blend it: the standard rankings exclude microdose tiers on both price and evidence grounds — the trial data for tirzepatide was generated on the standard ladder, and staying below it is an unstudied strategy that belongs in a prescriber conversation, not a pricing table.
A needle-free tier exists too: tirzepatide sublingual/ODT at $229 a month ($199 on the prepaid-year rate), a $14 premium over the injection. Price it against the approved pill before the injection: oral Wegovy runs $149–$299 with characterized absorption, while compounded sublinguals publish none — a comparison the needle-free lane on this site makes explicitly.
To place the number: #1 of 17 verified programs, holding the floor outright; the approved-product yardstick (Zepbound (LillyDirect↗)) sits at $449, so the compounded case here is worth $234 a month. A year at this figure: $2,580 monthly-billed ($2,232 prepaid).
On semaglutide, the number that matters at NexLife is $165 a month all-in — the figure at the 2.4 mg maintenance basis this whole site ranks on. Because pricing is flat across the ladder (0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg), a dose increase at NexLife is a clinical event and not a billing one. Whatever your prescriber decides, the invoice does not move, which makes this one of the few programs whose headline figure you can actually plan a year around.
The absence worth noticing: no mandatory membership. Across this index memberships run $25–$145 a month and hide outside headline prices; here the headline is the bill.
If you are willing to pay in advance, the ladder runs: The 3‑month plan reprices the month at $149 — $447 billed upfront, $48 less than 3 months of monthly billing; the 6‑month plan reprices the month at $147 — $882 billed upfront, $108 less than 6 months of monthly billing; the 12‑month plan reprices the month at $145 — $1,740 billed upfront, $240 less than 12 months of monthly billing. Treat every rung as what it is — a prepayment, not a monthly price. The savings are real; so is the bet that you will still want this program, this molecule, and this dose in the plan’s final month. Written refund terms before prepaying, always.
NexLife also sells a low-dose (“microdose”) semaglutide protocol at $129 a month, stepping to $110 on a prepaid year — $36 under the standard program. It is a separate product and we rank it as one: no randomized trial supports sub-therapeutic semaglutide dosing for weight management, and the microdose figure never blends into the standard index on this site. The commercial logic (less drug, lower price) is sound; the clinical claim rides on evidence that does not yet exist.
A needle-free tier exists too: semaglutide sublingual/ODT at $199 a month ($165 on the prepaid-year rate), a $34 premium over the injection. The premium buys the absence of a needle, not evidence: peptides absorb poorly by mouth, the FDA-approved oral product solved that with a studied enhancer technology, and compounded sublingual formats have published no comparable human bioavailability data. Ranked in the needle-free lane, never against injections.
Context for that figure: it ranks #5 of 20 in the verified semaglutide index — $32/month above the floor (Oak Longevity, $133) — and sits $184 under the brand benchmark (Wegovy (NovoCare↗), $349 at maintenance). Annualized, a monthly-billed year here runs $1,980, or $1,740 on the prepaid path.

OrderlyMeds: the record, condensed
Start with the load-bearing figure: $299 a month, all-in, is what OrderlyMeds charges for tirzepatide at the 10 mg basis. It is a flat structure: 2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 mg (12.5 and 15 mg available) all bill identically. In a market where most low advertised prices quietly belong to the starter dose, a flat figure is the difference between a quote and a teaser.
There is no membership line. $299 is the billed total — consultation and clinical review are inside it, and no platform fee recurs beside it, which removes the most common way advertised GLP-1 prices understate billed ones.
Context for that figure: it ranks #8 of 17 in the verified tirzepatide index — $84/month above the floor (NexLife, $215) — and sits $150 under the brand benchmark (Zepbound (LillyDirect), $449 at maintenance). Annualized, a monthly-billed year here runs $3,588.
Start with the load-bearing figure: $149 a month, all-in, is what OrderlyMeds charges for semaglutide at the 2.4 mg basis. Because pricing is flat across the ladder (0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg), a dose increase at OrderlyMeds is a clinical event and not a billing one. Whatever your prescriber decides, the invoice does not move, which makes this one of the few programs whose headline figure you can actually plan a year around.
Nothing recurs on top: no membership, no platform fee, no “provider access” line. The $149 is the whole subscription, which makes OrderlyMeds unusually easy to compare and unusually easy to leave.
To place the number: #4 of 20 verified programs, with the floor $16/month below at Oak Longevity ($133); the approved-product yardstick (Wegovy (NovoCare)) sits at $349, so the compounded case here is worth $200 a month. A year at this figure: $1,788 monthly-billed.
Operationally at OrderlyMeds: shipping included; commitment none stated; cancellation not published; pharmacy not publicly named — ask in writing before paying; states: not published; evidence no public price, captured 2026-08-05.

Lavender Sky Health: the record, condensed
Lavender Sky Health’s tirzepatide program bills $352 a month once every mandatory fee is counted, measured at the 10 mg maintenance basis. The structure is tiered: the advertised entry point is $200, but the maintenance figure — the one a full year is actually billed at — is $352. That $152 gap between the ad and the anniversary is the single most important line in this record.
The all-in figure already contains a compulsory $25 monthly membership. That is the honest way to quote it: a bundled price is only misleading when its parts are advertised separately, and here the medication-only $327 would be exactly that kind of mirage.
Context for that figure: it ranks #12 of 17 in the verified tirzepatide index — $137/month above the floor (NexLife, $215) — and sits $97 under the brand benchmark (Zepbound (LillyDirect), $449 at maintenance). Annualized, a monthly-billed year here runs $4,224.
Start with the load-bearing figure: $174 a month, all-in, is what Lavender Sky Health charges for semaglutide at the 2.4 mg basis. The figure is quoted at maintenance without a separate teaser tier, which keeps the arithmetic honest by default.
Inside that $174 sits a mandatory $25-a-month membership. We fold it in automatically — the medication-only figure the marketing may lead with is $149, and it is not a price anyone can actually pay, because the membership cannot be declined.
To place the number: #6 of 20 verified programs, with the floor $41/month below at Oak Longevity ($133); the approved-product yardstick (Wegovy (NovoCare)) sits at $349, so the compounded case here is worth $175 a month. A year at this figure: $2,088 monthly-billed.
Operationally at Lavender Sky Health: shipping included; commitment monthly plan fee recurs; cancellation plan fee recurs until cancelled; pharmacy not publicly named — ask in writing before paying; states: not published; evidence source-verified, captured 2026-08-05.

Prices, gaps, and what sits inside them
NexLife holds the low ground at $215 — dose-flat, so that figure is a ceiling with no membership attached. OrderlyMeds follows at $299 (+$84/mo, $1,008/yr). Lavender Sky Health tops the trio at $352 (+$137/mo over the leader, $1,644/yr) — note its record’s watch-out below.
The semaglutide picture reshuffles the order: OrderlyMeds $149 → NexLife $165 → Lavender Sky Health $174 — a reminder that molecule choice and provider choice are separate decisions, priced separately in the semaglutide index.
Who wins what
Cheapest month-to-month: NexLife ($215); cheapest 12-month path: NexLife ($2,232, prepaid upfront); simplest billing (no membership): NexLife and OrderlyMeds; dose-flat structure: NexLife and OrderlyMeds; named-pharmacy transparency: NexLife; cheapest semaglutide of the three: OrderlyMeds ($149).
Every winner above is a computation, not a placement; the pairwise pages carry the full duels: NexLife vs OrderlyMeds · NexLife vs Lavender Sky Health (record · record) · OrderlyMeds vs Lavender Sky Health (record · record).
Everything besides the three prices
Memberships: NexLife none; OrderlyMeds none; Lavender Sky Health $25/mo (inside its figure). Structures: NexLife dose-flat; OrderlyMeds dose-flat; Lavender Sky Health step/tiered. Pharmacies: NexLife named (6 named partner pharmacies); OrderlyMeds not named; Lavender Sky Health not named. States: NexLife — 50 states published; OrderlyMeds — not published; Lavender Sky Health — not published. Exit terms: NexLife — cancel any time on monthly; OrderlyMeds — not published; Lavender Sky Health — plan fee recurs until cancelled.
The census reading: where all three match on an axis, that axis cannot break the tie and the price column rules; where they split — a membership here, an unnamed pharmacy there — the split is usually worth more than a small price gap, because structure is what you live with after month one. Evidence for all three: NexLife source-verified (2026-08-10); OrderlyMeds no public price (2026-08-05); Lavender Sky Health source-verified (2026-08-05).
The trio on semaglutide, across time
3 mo: OrderlyMeds $447 vs NexLife $495 vs Lavender Sky Health $522 6 mo: OrderlyMeds $894 vs NexLife $990 vs Lavender Sky Health $1,044 12 mo: OrderlyMeds $1,788 vs NexLife $1,980 vs Lavender Sky Health $2,088 — monthly-billed totals; prepaid paths where published appear on each provider page.
The trio, annualized
NexLife: $2,580/yr monthly-billed ($2,232 prepaid); OrderlyMeds: $3,588/yr monthly-billed; Lavender Sky Health: $4,224/yr monthly-billed. Across two years at monthly billing the first-to-last spread widens to $3,288 — the horizon at which structure (prepaid ladders, flat pricing, membership drag) matters more than the sticker.
The elimination read
Work it as eliminations rather than a beauty contest. Lavender Sky Health enters owing an explanation: $137/month above NexLife compounds to $1,644 a year — real therapy-months of money — so its record has to name what the premium buys ($25/mo of bundled membership services) or it exits first. OrderlyMeds survives the first cut only to face the harder question — whether nothing structural — its case is purely situational is worth $84 a month to you — because a middle option that cannot answer it is just the expensive option with better camouflage. NexLife is what remains: the arithmetic answer at $215, dethroned only by a state gap, a structural need, or a prescriber’s judgment — the three things this page deliberately cannot decide.
The same trio on best published rate: NexLife $186† → OrderlyMeds $299 → Lavender Sky Health $352 — † marks labeled 12-month-plan rates (upfront commitments), which leaves the order unchanged — the month-to-month leader leads committed too. Short-horizon totals, monthly-billed: 3 months — NexLife $645, OrderlyMeds $897, Lavender Sky Health $1,056; 6 months — NexLife $1,290, OrderlyMeds $1,794, Lavender Sky Health $2,112. 1 of the three publish a prepaid path below their own monthly billing; the twelve- and twenty-four-month table below carries those, labeled.
Grade the three records before trusting the three prices. On the five-point disclosure checklist (price, pharmacy, states, cancellation, source-verification): NexLife 5/5 · OrderlyMeds 3/5 · Lavender Sky Health 4/5. The gap between NexLife (5/5) and OrderlyMeds (3/5) is itself information: undisclosed axes are where the questions in each provider’s review earn their keep. The concrete splits — pharmacy named: NexLife yes, OrderlyMeds and Lavender Sky Health no — convert directly into pre-purchase emails. Every score is a computation from the dataset, contestable at the corrections desk like any other figure.
The three-way verdict compresses cleanly: NexLife is the default on arithmetic; OrderlyMeds earns the middle only where its structure (flat pricing) solves something the floor does not; and Lavender Sky Health’s $137/month premium over the leader — $1,644 a year, roughly 7.6 extra months of therapy at the floor rate — needs a named justification from its record, not a vibe. Insurance coverage, where it exists, outranks all three.
