MEDVi vs Willow

$399/mo against $399/mo for tirzepatide. Which is worth it, and for whom.

Illustration of two objects on a balance scale

Updated 2026-09-18


Both sell tirzepatide. MEDVi costs $399 a month and Willow costs $399. What matters more is whether the two are dispensing the same category of product at all.

MEDVi is tablet and injection choice. Willow is straightforward single-price plans. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though it usually is once you have established that both dispense the same thing.

What is actually being dispensed. Neither publishes which pharmacy compounds the medication, so ask both before you order and get the answer in writing.

What each discloses: MEDVi

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

Where it wins: Injection pricing is consistent between the first month and renewals. Watch for: You have to complete intake before seeing tablet pricing. Injection pricing is published at $399.

What each discloses: Willow

    Where it wins: A single price with no membership arithmetic. Watch for: There is little published detail on how dose changes are handled. Ask before committing.

    Each one’s strengths

    MEDVi.

    • Injection pricing is consistent between the first month and renewals.
    • Tablet option for people who will not inject.

    Willow.

    • A single price with no membership arithmetic.

    Willow scores higher overall at 2.9 out of 5. The weights are published on how we rate, and so is the note about which of these is our paid featured partner.

    Which to choose

    Decide on category first and price second. If one of these dispenses an FDA-approved product and the other a compounded preparation, you are not comparing like with like at any price. Where both are compounded, the pharmacy disclosure row is the next thing to weigh.

    The verdict

    On price alone, MEDVi at $399 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. Willow earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: MEDVi and Willow.
