# Idgie Health vs PlushCare

A seller that states the off-label position against one whose headline covers only the starting dose.

By [This GLP Editorial Team](https://thisglp.com/about)

## Idgie Health

Editorial

$134/mo

Idgie Health prices a compounded semaglutide microdose at $134 a month, a tirzepatide microdose at $179, and an orally dissolving semaglutide tablet at $287. Three-month purchases are charged in full at $377, $497 and $747. The product copy describes microdosing as an off-label approach, which few sellers print beside a price.

For

-   Seller names microdosing as off-label
-   Monthly and three-month figures both published
-   Second active ingredient named on the tablet

Against

-   Microdoses sit below the studied doses
-   Three-month price is charged in full
-   Tablet costs more than either injection

**Pick it for:** Readers who want the regulatory framing stated

## PlushCare

Editorial

$149/mo

PlushCare advertises compounded semaglutide at $149 a month cash-pay, and states that the figure buys the 0.25 mg starting dose only; every dose from 0.5 mg to 2.4 mg costs more. Its compounded tirzepatide page now redirects to a Mounjaro page that quotes no compounded price. Insurance is accepted on a separate basis.

For

-   Says what the entry figure buys
-   Insurance accepted as a separate route
-   Prescription follows a clinician visit

Against

-   Maintenance doses cost $299 a month
-   No compounded tirzepatide price published

**Pick it for:** Readers who want a recognized clinical brand at the opening dose

## Our verdict

Idgie Health names the off-label parity question directly. PlushCare's $149 covers the starting dose, and one higher price covers every dose above it. Each is candid about a different thing.

## What actually separates them

Idgie Health and PlushCare state different things about published price. Everything else they publish, they publish the same way.

PlushCare costs $15 more than Idgie Health — 11% more for the same molecule. Whether that buys anything is what the rest of this page is for.

Over twelve months that is about $1,608 at Idgie Health against $1,788 at PlushCare — a difference of $180.

## Before you choose either

Ask both sellers what dose the monthly price buys before you compare the two figures. A price is only a price once you know what quantity it is attached to, and a seller that will not answer has told you something. Set both against [every published price we hold](https://thisglp.com/best) rather than against each other alone.

Our take is computed from a [published rubric](https://thisglp.com/methodology) that does not read commercial status, and [what is known about safety](https://thisglp.com/research) applies to both of them equally.

**Research, not medical advice.** This GLP is independent and educational. Nothing here is a substitute for individualized care from a licensed clinician, and reading it creates no doctor–patient relationship. Talk to your own provider before starting, stopping, or changing any medication, peptide, or therapy. See our [methodology](https://thisglp.com/methodology) and [terms](https://thisglp.com/terms).
