Bliv vs iThriveMD
The verdict
iThriveMD takes it — 66.7/100 to 66.3/100, but only just.
iThriveMD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. iThriveMD is a longevity and metabolic-health clinic (physical locations plus telehealth) offering compounded GLP-1 weight loss — semaglutide (from $299/mo) and tirzepatide (from $399/mo), plus microdosing… Bliv is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #187 · C
Strengths
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Compounded GLP-1 access
Where it loses points
- The advertised rates are 'as low as' figures footnoted 'based on plan structure and eligibility', and the plan selector sits behind the medical intake — the rate you are offered is not knowable before you hand over a medical history
- A $24.99 provider consultation fee is charged on top, and the refund policy deducts $200 for 'clinical coordination and account setup'
- The homepage advertises 'no long-term commitments or cancellation fees' while the terms require the membership fee to be paid 'in a single sum', call it non-refundable and refer to a 'Membership Term'
- The only figure smaller than the advertised rate is a $29 CareCredit/Klarna instalment, which is a financing payment rather than the price of a month of medication
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #180 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide (from $299/mo) and tirzepatide (from $399/mo), plus microdosing tirzepatide programs
- Lab testing and personalized protocols with a medical team; free initial consultation
- Very thorough legal/policy suite (Terms, Privacy, EUA, Shipping, Returns, CCPA)
- Broad longevity menu: hormones (HRT/TRT), NAD+, peptides, IV therapy, sexual health, diagnostics
Where it loses points
- Premium pricing — higher than budget compounded-GLP-1 competitors (lowest rates need 'preferred pricing')
- Headline GLP-1 pricing is 'starting at'; full cost depends on dose and program length
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
- Not LegitScript-certified (no certification displayed)
