Pros

  • The mandatory program fee is shown next to the medication price rather than buried in a footnote: compounded semaglutide from $75/mo and tirzepatide from $133/mo, each plus a $74.99/mo program fee (checked July 27, 2026)
  • Trustpilot rating of 4.9 from 38,826 reviews - the largest and strongest independent signal of any brand we have reviewed
  • Efficacy claims are sourced to Ivim's own published study, with the comparator spelled out and an explicit note that it was 'Not a head-to-head study'
  • The compounded, not-FDA-approved disclosure is stated plainly alongside the results claims rather than in a distant footer
  • The GLP-1 ID model offers weekly provider check-ins and weekly dose adjustments, which is more active titration support than most competitors provide
  • Brand-name options are available too - Wegovy pill, Foundayo pill, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda and liraglutide
  • Plan lengths are selectable at checkout (1, 2, 4 or 6 months) rather than defaulting to a single long commitment
  • This offer is restricted in only two states, Mississippi and Washington

Cons

  • The $74.99 monthly program fee effectively doubles the cost of the entry semaglutide plan, taking a '$75/mo' headline to about $150 all-in
  • The advertised 'starting at' rates depend on plan length, and the default 'Jumpstart' option is a 4-month commitment - so the cheapest prices are not available month to month
  • The headline result, that patients 'lost an average of 46% more weight over 68 weeks', comes from Ivim's own study rather than independent research, and the comparator was diet, exercise and counselling rather than another GLP-1 provider
  • Add-on benefits are quantified with unverifiable price tags - '1:1 Virtual Holistic Consultations $850 value' and 'Master classes, group coaching & community $500 value'
  • The weight-loss calculator produces a specific projection (41.8 lbs on the default settings) that no individual can rely on
  • The supplement catalogue is very large - collagen, NMN, creatine, colostrum, berberine and more - so there is a persistent upsell layer around the medical service
  • No published customer phone number or support hours
  • No BBB profile or complaint history to set against the Trustpilot score
