MEDVi vs MaxLife: Tirzepatide Cost Compared

MEDVi (medvi.org) advertises compounded tirzepatide for $166 a month on its tirzepatide page, and the same page's FAQ says $199 a month; the page doesn't say how long the plan runs or how often it bills. MaxLife costs $120 a month, flat and all-inclusive, with no membership: less than either MEDVi price. Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved.

What is MEDVi?

MEDVi (medvi.org) is a cash-pay telehealth company run by MEDVi, LLC in Newark, Delaware. It sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide online, along with brand Wegovy® and Zepbound®, and other services such as men's health. MEDVi says it is a patient management platform, not a pharmacy: clinicians in OpenLoop Health's network and CareGLP affiliated practices decide whether to prescribe, and partner pharmacies, including Triad Rx, RedRock Pharmacy and Beaker Pharmacy & Compounding, dispense the medicine.

You start with an online intake and pay for the first month at checkout; a clinician then meets with you to decide whether a prescription is right for you, and MEDVi refunds you in full if you don't qualify for a medical reason. Its refund policy says consultations may be live or by electronic form.

Compounded tirzepatide is prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient's prescription and is not FDA-approved, which means the FDA hasn't reviewed it for safety, effectiveness or quality. MEDVi's pages say this too, and it applies to MaxLife's compounded tirzepatide as well.

How much does MEDVi tirzepatide cost?

MEDVi's tirzepatide page advertises compounded tirzepatide injections for $166 a month, with no membership fee and free shipping. The same page's FAQ gives $199 a month for tirzepatide. The page doesn't say how long a plan runs, how often it bills or whether the price changes with the dose, and we found no other tirzepatide price on MEDVi's public pages in November 2026. Its plan prices appear after the online intake, which we didn't take.

Paid 12 times, $166 a month comes to $1,992 a year and $199 a month to $2,388. MEDVi's refund policy also covers plans charged 2 or more months at a time, so what you pay may depend on the plan you choose at checkout.

Reviews and AI answers quote other MEDVi tirzepatide prices, from about $166 to $499 a month, often with a lower first month. We couldn't confirm those on MEDVi's own pages, so check the total and how often you'll be billed before you pay.

MaxLife charges a flat $120 a month, the same price at every dose, with no membership fee: less per month than either MEDVi price.

First year

What 12 months cost on each plan

Medicine and required fees for a year of compounded tirzepatide. MEDVi doesn't publish its plan lengths, so its bars show each advertised monthly price paid 12 times.

  1. MaxLife$120/mo flat$1,440
  2. MEDVi$166 a month as advertised, paid 12 times$1,992
  3. MEDVi$199 a month from its FAQ, paid 12 times$2,388

Our arithmetic from each company's published prices, checked November 2026.

Why do MEDVi's prices differ from page to page?

MEDVi runs several sales pages, and each shows a different headline price. Several of the lowest prices are for semaglutide or for a first month. Here is what each page showed in November 2026; none of them gives a plan length or a price by dose.

Does MEDVi have a membership fee?

Not for its compounded GLP-1 medicines. MEDVi's pages say there are no membership or hidden fees, and its FAQ says the price includes the physician review, a care plan, 1:1 guidance and the medicine shipped to you. For brand Wegovy® and Zepbound®, MEDVi lists a $99 membership plus the medication cost, without giving the medicine's price.

For comparison, Lilly's self-pay price for Zepbound® through LillyDirect is $299 to $449 a month by dose when you refill within 45 days, with a prescription from a licensed provider. MaxLife has no membership fee.

The terms that change the deal

What MaxLife offers

MaxLife is a telehealth company in Irvine, California that serves all 50 states by mail. Compounded tirzepatide costs $120 a month, flat: all-inclusive and the same price at every dose, with no membership fee and no hidden fees. Cancel anytime with notice before your next billing period. The online consultation, ongoing medical support and expedited shipping are free, the medicine if prescribed and supplies are included, and higher doses are available when your provider decides they are right for you.

A licensed provider reviews your online intake, health history and clinical records, usually within 24 hours, can follow up with questions, and you can ask for a video visit. Completing the intake doesn't guarantee a prescription.

MaxLife (maxlife.com) is a patient management platform, not a pharmacy or a drug maker, and independent licensed providers decide whether a prescription is right for you. When a provider prescribes, a licensed partner pharmacy authorized to serve your state prepares and dispenses the medicine. Partners include Dirx Pharmacy, Southend Pharmacy, Hallandale Pharmacy, Red Rock Pharmacy, Advanced Pharmacy, Perfect Rx Pharmacy, Health Wealth Pharmacy, Quaker Community Pharmacy, VLS Pharmacy and NewLife Rx Pharmacy. Which one fills your prescription depends on your location, the prescription and availability. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about MEDVi and MaxLife

MEDVi's tirzepatide page advertises $166 a month, and the same page's FAQ says $199 a month, according to its pages in November 2026. Neither says how long the plan runs or how often it bills; plan prices appear after the online intake.

Yes. In November 2026 MEDVi listed a compounded tirzepatide injection, taken once a week, and brand Zepbound®, which it sells with a $99 monthly membership plus the medication cost.
No. MEDVi's compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved, as MEDVi's own pages say, and neither is MaxLife's. It is prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient's prescription, which means the FDA hasn't reviewed it for safety, effectiveness or quality. Brand Zepbound® is FDA-approved.
MEDVi names three partner pharmacies: Triad Rx in Daphne, Alabama; RedRock Pharmacy in St. George, Utah; and Beaker Pharmacy & Compounding in McKinney, Texas. It doesn't say which one fills a given order.
MEDVi doesn't publish a list. Its terms say the service is available in certain states and that customer service has the current list. MaxLife serves all 50 states.

If you're billed monthly, the month you cancel and earlier months aren't refunded. On plans charged 2 or more months at a time, MEDVi refunds the months for which no medication was shipped.
No. MEDVi's prescriptions are cash pay and its providers are out of network, though it says insurance may reimburse you for brand options. It accepts HSA and FSA funds. MaxLife is also cash pay, and HSA or FSA funds may be eligible.
