Tirzepatide
Plan pages: Luvo Health plans · Direct Meds plans
At 10 mg/week, Luvo Health is $339 a month all-in and Direct Meds is $399 — $60 apart, or $720 across a year. Over twelve months the totals are $3,492 (prepaid term) and $4,788 (billed monthly).
Luvo Health charges a flat $339 per month for tirzepatide at every dose from 2.5 to 15 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay. The company publishes no price at 5, 7.5, 12.5, 15 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.
Direct Meds prices tirzepatide by dose: $299 per month at 2.5 mg rising to $399 at 10 mg, a difference of $100 a month between the bottom and top of the ladder. The company publishes no price at 5, 7.5, 12.5, 15 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.

The lead changes with the dose. Between 2.5 mg and 10 mg it passes to Luvo Health. Pick on the dose you expect to settle at, not the headline.
Across the 27 programs this database can rank on tirzepatide, Luvo Health sits 14 of 27 on all-in monthly cost and Direct Meds sits 22. There are 7 other programs priced between them. The field median is $339 and the floor is $169, so Luvo Health is below the median and the other is above it. Luvo Health is $170 above the cheapest tirzepatide program on record. Direct Meds is $230 above the cheapest tirzepatide program on record.
LillyDirect (Zepbound), the lowest FDA-approved tirzepatide channel here, is $449 a month — Luvo Health undercuts it by $110, Direct Meds by $50. Compounded products are not FDA approved; insurance can reverse that comparison.
| Plan term | Luvo Health | Direct Meds | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month to month | $339 | $399 | Luvo Health by $60 |
| 12-month term | $291 | — | only Luvo Health publishes this term |
| Settled dose | Luvo Health | Direct Meds | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | $4,068 | $3,588 | $480 apart |
| 10 mg | $4,068 | $4,788 | $720 apart |
Luvo Health publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term; Direct Meds 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 An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.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 $4,068 on Luvo Health and $4,688 on Direct Meds — $620 apart, and a different gap from the $720 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: Luvo Health publishes no price at 2 of the 6 doses and Direct Meds 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 50.4 for Luvo Health and 45.1 for Direct Meds, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. Luvo Health leads by 5.3 points, driven mostly by price.

Semaglutide
Plan pages: Luvo Health plans · Direct Meds plans
At 2.4 mg/week, Luvo Health is $249 a month all-in and Direct Meds is $297 — $48 apart, or $576 across a year. Over twelve months the totals are $2,328 (prepaid term) and $3,564 (billed monthly).
Luvo Health charges a flat $249 per month for semaglutide at every dose from 0.25 to 2.4 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay. The company publishes no price at 0.5, 1, 1.7 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.
Direct Meds prices semaglutide by dose: $249 per month at 0.25 mg rising to $297 at 2.4 mg, a difference of $48 a month between the bottom and top of the ladder. The company publishes no price at 0.5, 1, 1.7 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.
Luvo Health is cheaper at every dose where both publish a price, so the lead does not change as you titrate.
Value Scores are 51.8 for Luvo Health and 45.9 for Direct Meds, against a semaglutide category floor of $129. Luvo Health leads by 5.9 points, driven mostly by price.
Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
Luvo Health is cheaper month to month — $339 against $399, a gap of $60 every month, or $720 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: Luvo Health states No-commitment 4-week option available; confirm annual plan refund terms, while Direct Meds states Per provider terms. Read this next to the twelve-month figures — a prepaid discount and a restrictive refund policy are the same decision.
Commitment
Luvo Health asks for 52-week (annual) plan billed as lump-sum ($3,497 tirz / $2,327 sema) OR 4-week rolling ($339/$249 per term, no commitment); Direct Meds asks for Monthly (no commitment indicated). This is the dimension most likely to change which program is actually cheaper for you, because the lowest rates on both sides are usually attached to the longest terms.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $3,492 for Luvo Health and $4,788 for Direct Meds. Luvo Health is lower by $1,296 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Dose policy
Both price by dose, so both advertised figures understate the cost of a titration year. Compare the ladders above rather than the headline rates.
Evidence status
Both figures carry the same evidence status, reported: sourced from dated third-party reporting; first-party capture pending. Neither is stronger than the other on provenance.
Membership fee
Neither charges a separate membership fee.
Shipping
Shipping is handled the same way by both — included in the quoted price.
What each record says
Luvo Health Official site
Luvo Health publishes an openly available price ladder for compounded GLP-1s — semaglutide and tirzepatide — alongside longevity peptides. It names four dispensing pharmacy partners. Its 52-week (annual) plan offers the lowest per-month-equivalent rate; no-commitment 4-week terms cost materially more.
It does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy; the record shows Four named dispensing compounding pharmacies (specific names per provider materials), so who actually makes the medication cannot be independently verified; commitment terms are 52-week (annual) plan billed as lump-sum ($3,497 tirz / $2,327 sema) OR 4-week rolling ($339/$249 per term, no commitment); cancellation is No-commitment 4-week option available; confirm annual plan refund terms; availability is stated as All 50 states claimed; some services may not be available in all states per Luvo terms.

Watch: Luvo publishes plan-TERM totals in weeks, not monthly prices; our monthly figures divide the term total by 12 calendar months, but 52 weeks = 13 four-week cycles, so the true per-cycle cost is slightly different. Luvo makes no third-party testing claim and its own evaluation does not include lab testing. Geographic availability is a qualified all-50-states claim. Reported status — RangeYourself verified 2026-08-08.

What would change this answer
Evidence may be upgraded. Luvo Health, Direct Meds carry a price we have not captured at checkout. A capture would move the evidence term and could reorder these two without any price changing.
Prepaid terms move the annual figures. Luvo Health publishes a twelve-month rate of $291 a month against $339 month-to-month. Read those next to the cancellation terms, not the monthly rate.
