Updated 2026-09-18 · Prices verified independently


Both sell tirzepatide. Lemonaid Health costs $348 a month and MEDVi costs $399, a difference of $51 a month or about $612 a year. Here is what that difference actually buys.

Lemonaid Health is established platform with multi-month discounts. MEDVi is tablet and injection choice. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though it usually is if you are paying cash and tolerate the medication well.

Put plainly. If you picked Lemonaid Health over MEDVi and everything else went the same way, you would be $612 better off after a year. Whether that is the right trade depends on the differences below, not on the number alone.

What Lemonaid Health publishes

  • Tirzepatide tablet pricing is quoted after the intake questionnaire rather than published up front.

Which should you pick?

If you want the plain answer: Lemonaid Health, unless one of the differences above matters to you personally. MEDVi is not worse — it is aimed at somebody with a different problem, and paying $51 a month more for a problem you do not have is how people end up resenting a treatment that was working.

The verdict

We would tell a friend to start with Lemonaid Health and move if it disappointed them. That is not a strong claim about either company; it is what the arithmetic supports when nothing else is pulling you.
