Which fits your priorities?
Only the points where these two differ, from the table above and each provider’s record.
Choose Collective if…
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Unlimited doctor messaging, quarterly check-ins and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- An optional twice-a-week dosing schedule and anti-nausea prescriptions when needed, aimed at the side effects that make people quit
What to weigh up
- Listed compounded semaglutide price excludes a required membership
- Not available in 6 states that Live Vital serves
Choose Live Vital if…
- Serves 6 states that Collective doesn't
- Physician-led: founded by Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD; all treatments doctor-prescribed via the clinical team
- Every plan includes doctor prescribing, licensed-pharmacy medication, and direct-to-door shipping
What to weigh up
- The advertised '/mo' rate divides a 10-week protocol by three, so a calendar month costs about $130 or $239
- Doesn't accept insurance (HSA/FSA funds only)
