Both sell tirzepatide. Ivím Health costs $199 a month and Zealthy costs $216, a difference of $17 a month or about $204 a year. The desk reads it as follows.

Ivím Health is unlimited clinician access. Zealthy is low-cost entry with insurance routing. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though on this board it usually is.

Advert against bill. Ivím Health advertises $199 and bills $199; Zealthy advertises $216 and bills $216. Both gaps are the same size, so the advertised comparison happens to hold.

What each puts on the record: Ivím Health

  • All-inclusive pricing advertised at $199/month with no hidden fees.
  • Unlimited 1:1 virtual visits with licensed providers are included.
  • Dose is adjusted weekly based on reported progress rather than on a fixed calendar.
  • Includes holistic coaching, wellness masterclasses and a tracking app.
  • New patients are offered a complimentary 30-minute consultation.
  • Founded in 2021 by Dr. Taylor Kantor.

Where it wins: Unlimited clinician visits at a flat rate — unusual at this price. Watch for: Pharmacy sourcing is not published. Ask which pharmacy fills your prescription and whether it is 503A or 503B before starting.

What each puts on the record: Zealthy

  • First month advertised at $39.
  • Compounded semaglutide priced from about $151/month.
  • Compounded tirzepatide priced from about $216/month.
  • Where insurance covers branded semaglutide, patient cost can fall to roughly $25/month.

Where it wins: Compounded pricing is competitive without a separate membership charge. Watch for: The widely quoted $25/month is an insured price. Cash payers should plan on $151+ for semaglutide.

The desk’s call

  • Pick Ivím Health if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $204, which is real money for the same class of medication.
  • Pick Zealthy if what it does better matters to you — compounded pricing is competitive without a separate membership charge.
  • Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.

The verdict

On the board, Ivím Health at $199 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. Zealthy earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: Ivím Health and Zealthy.
