MEDVi vs Willow

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

Updated 2026-09-18

Disclosure: one company on this page — Coreage Rx — pays us a commission when a reader signs up through our link. It does not buy a better score, a higher ranking, or the removal of any criticism. The scoring rubric and the full disclosure are both published.


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.

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

  • Pick MEDVi if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $0, which is real money for the same class of medication.
  • Pick Willow if what it does better matters to you — a single price with no membership arithmetic.
  • Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.

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.
