| Plan term | Lavender Sky Health | Direct Meds | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month to month | $352 | $399 | Lavender Sky Health by $47 |
| Settled dose | Lavender Sky Health | Direct Meds | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | $3,000 | $3,588 | $588 apart |
| 10 mg | $4,524 | $4,788 | $264 apart |
Lavender Sky Health publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; Direct Meds publishes none for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term. An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.
A titration year is not twelve months at the maintenance price. Stepping up roughly four weeks per dose before settling at 10 mg/week, the first twelve months work out to $4,397 on Lavender Sky Health and $4,688 on Direct Meds — $291 apart, and a different gap from the $264 you would get by multiplying the monthly difference by twelve. The ramp is cheaper than the settled rate on whichever program prices by dose, which is why a first-year quote and a steady-state quote are not the same number.
That calculation is partial: Lavender Sky Health publishes no price at 2 of the 6 doses and Direct Meds publishes no price at 2 of them, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 44.1 for Lavender Sky Health and 45.1 for Direct Meds, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. Direct Meds leads by 1.0 points, driven mostly by price.

Semaglutide
Plan pages: Lavender Sky Health plans · Direct Meds plans
At 2.4 mg/week, Lavender Sky Health is $199 a month all-in and Direct Meds is $297 — $98 apart, or $1,176 across a year. Over twelve months the totals are $2,388 (billed monthly) and $3,564 (billed monthly).
Lavender Sky Health charges a flat $174 per month for semaglutide at every dose from 0.25 to 2.4 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay. The company publishes no price at 0.5, 1, 1.7 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.
Direct Meds prices semaglutide by dose: $249 per month at 0.25 mg rising to $297 at 2.4 mg, a difference of $48 a month between the bottom and top of the ladder. The company publishes no price at 0.5, 1, 1.7 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.
Lavender Sky Health is cheaper at every dose where both publish a price, so the lead does not change as you titrate.
Value Scores are 58.1 for Lavender Sky Health and 45.9 for Direct Meds, against a semaglutide category floor of $129. Lavender Sky Health leads by 12.2 points, driven mostly by price.
Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
Lavender Sky Health is cheaper month to month — $377 against $399, a gap of $22 every month, or $264 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: Lavender Sky Health states Cancel before renewal, while Direct Meds states Per provider terms. Read this next to the twelve-month figures — a prepaid discount and a restrictive refund policy are the same decision.
Commitment
Lavender Sky Health asks for Month-to-month; Direct Meds asks for Monthly (no commitment indicated). This is the dimension most likely to change which program is actually cheaper for you, because the lowest rates on both sides are usually attached to the longest terms.
Evidence status
The two prices are not equally well evidenced. Lavender Sky Health's figure is provider-stated and Direct Meds's is reported. Lavender Sky Health rests on the stronger of the two, and the Value Score below reflects that — evidence quality is worth fifteen points and is not a tiebreaker we apply after the fact.
Membership fee
Lavender Sky Health charges a membership of $25 a month on top of the medication. That is already folded into the all-in figures above — it is broken out here because a membership is a recurring charge that continues even in a month you skip a shipment.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $4,524 for Lavender Sky Health and $4,788 for Direct Meds. Lavender Sky Health is lower by $264 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Dose policy
Both price by dose, so both advertised figures understate the cost of a titration year. Compare the ladders above rather than the headline rates.
Shipping
Shipping is handled the same way by both — included in the quoted price.

Evidence may be upgraded. Direct Meds carries a price we have not captured at checkout. A capture would move the evidence term and could reorder these two without any price changing.
