Tirzepatide
Plan pages: LifeMD plans · Lavender Sky Health plans

LifeMD publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; Lavender Sky Health publishes none for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term. An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.
A titration year is not twelve months at the maintenance price. Stepping up roughly four weeks per dose before settling at 10 mg/week, the first twelve months work out to $8,952 on LifeMD and $4,397 on Lavender Sky Health — $4,555 apart, and a different gap from the $4,428 you would get by multiplying the monthly difference by twelve. The ramp is cheaper than the settled rate on whichever program prices by dose, which is why a first-year quote and a steady-state quote are not the same number.
That calculation is partial: Lavender Sky Health publishes no price at 2 of them, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 38.6 for LifeMD and 44.1 for Lavender Sky Health, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. Lavender Sky Health leads by 5.5 points, driven mostly by price.

Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
Lavender Sky Health is cheaper month to month — $377 against $746, a gap of $369 every month, or $4,428 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: LifeMD states Cancel anytime, while Lavender Sky Health states Cancel before renewal. Read this next to the twelve-month figures — a prepaid discount and a restrictive refund policy are the same decision.
Dose policy
LifeMD charges one price at every dose; Lavender Sky Health prices by dose. That difference usually matters more than the headline gap, because the tiered program's advertised figure describes the dose you start on, not the dose you settle at.
Membership fee
LifeMD charges a membership of $149 a month on top of the medication. That is already folded into the all-in figures above — it is broken out here because a membership is a recurring charge that continues even in a month you skip a shipment.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $8,952 for LifeMD and $4,524 for Lavender Sky Health. Lavender Sky Health is lower by $4,428 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Commitment
Commitment terms read the same on both: Month-to-month.
Evidence status
Both figures carry the same evidence status, provider-stated: taken from the provider's own published pages; checkout capture pending. Neither is stronger than the other on provenance.
Shipping
Shipping is handled the same way by both — included in the quoted price.
What each record says
LifeMD Official site
LifeMD attaches a $149/month program fee to medication pricing; its compounded tirzepatide all-in figure ($597) is the highest in our index, though its insurance-navigation pathway for brand products is a genuine strength.

Evidence: provider-stated — taken from the provider's own published pages; checkout capture pending, captured . Source — lifemd.com pricing capture 2026-08-05
Watch: Highest all-in compounded tirzepatide in the index; the value case rests on clinical service and insurance help, not price.
Lavender Sky Health Official site
A small program with a modest $25/month membership; all-in maintenance figures are $174 semaglutide and $352 tirzepatide.
