About MEDVidi
MEDVidi is a US telehealth platform whose licensed providers evaluate patients and prescribe GLP-1 weight-management medications, including brand-name Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide), plus Saxenda, Qsymia and phentermine. It runs on a per-visit consult model rather than a bundled subscription: an initial appointment is 195 dollars and a follow-up is 159 dollars, and prescriptions go to the patient's chosen pharmacy, so medication cost is separate. MEDVidi operates in 33 states. This is a distinct brand from MEDVi (medvi.com).

Collective is a membership-based telehealth platform from the founder of Thrive Market, selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at a flat price on every dose. Medication is billed separately from a required annual membership, and the program bundles unlimited clinician messaging, dietitian access and express cold shipping.

MEDVidi
What we like
- Licensed providers can prescribe brand-name Zepbound and Wegovy
- Transparent flat consultation fees (195 dollar initial, 159 dollar follow-up)
- Prescriptions sent to the patient's pharmacy of choice, so insurance can be used
Watch-outs
- Consult-fee model: medication is not included and its cost is separate
- No medication pricing is published
- State list is shown as a map rather than enumerated
Collective
What we like
- The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
- 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
- 21-day free membership trial, and a full refund if the doctor decides the medication isn't right for you
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- After the 21-day trial the membership fee is non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as state-licensed US pharmacies and are never named
- Not available in six states: Alabama, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi and Washington
Our Verdict
Collective edges out MEDVidi with a higher overall score of 8.3/10 and is particularly strong for the lowest flat medication price if you can absorb an annual membership fee. MEDVidi remains a solid alternative, especially if you're looking for a licensed provider to prescribe brand glp-1 they fill with insurance.
