LifeMD vs Coby Health

Both sell tirzepatide. LifeMD costs $149 a month and Coby Health costs $239, a difference of $90 a month or about $1,080 a year. The desk reads it as follows.

LifeMD is insurance coordination. Coby Health is multi-month value with supplies included. 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. LifeMD advertises $75 and bills $149; Coby Health advertises $179 and bills $239. The gaps are different sizes, which means comparing the two on their advertised prices gives you the wrong answer.

The split

They differ on 4 of the 7 things we track, and behave the same on the other 3. The differences are what the price gap is actually buying.

What each puts on the record: LifeMD

• GLP-1 injection programme listed at $75 first month, then $149/month.
• Annual plan advertised as low as $75/month.
• Programme fee does not include medication when medication is branded and billed to insurance.
• Markets insurance coordination that can reduce semaglutide cost to roughly $25/month where coverage applies.

Where it wins: Genuine clinician oversight with a physician-led model. Watch for: If your insurer declines, the $149/month programme fee still applies and the medication is extra.

What each puts on the record: Coby Health

• Compounded tirzepatide listed at $239/month on the monthly plan, down from $299.
• Multi-month plans bring compounded tirzepatide to about $179/month.
• An at-home injection kit with alcohol pads and syringes is included.
• Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time.
• States plainly on its own product pages that compounded medication is not FDA-reviewed or approved.

Where it wins: Injection supplies are included rather than something you source yourself. Watch for: The $179 figure is a multi-month rate. Month-to-month is $239.
