Quick verdict
Ivim Health is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Ivim sits between Henry's flat-rate simplicity and Form's clinical depth. Gives buyers a real branded path or a cheaper compounded path inside one membership. Four-month and six-month prepay tiers cut the headline price but lock you in.
That said, Sam's Club Member Health wins on specific dimensions. Sam's Club brings the oral Wegovy pill to its pharmacy counter at $149/mo for the starting dose, via the manufacturer's self-pay offer, with a members-only Well app for GLP-1 support. It is a narrow, pharmacy-led offering: branded oral Wegovy only, gated behind a paid membership. For existing members who want the oral pill cheaply, it is a clean option.

When to choose Ivim Health
Best for branded or compounded optionality
Buyers who want optionality between branded and compounded GLP-1 from one program.
Ivim Health wins on onboarding experience, medication options, member reviews on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Anyone allergic to multi-month prepay tiers or who wants pure flat monthly billing.
When to choose Sam's Club Member Health
Best for members wanting the oral pill
Existing Sam's Club members who want the oral Wegovy pill at a low self-pay price with pharmacist support.
Sam's Club Member Health wins on cancellation terms and runs $51/mo cheaper than Ivim Health at the entry tier ($149 vs $200). Over a year that's $612 you keep. The caveat: Non-members, anyone wanting injectable or compounded GLP-1, or anyone wanting a full telehealth care program.
If cost is your main filter
Sam's Club Member Health is the cheaper monthly: $149 all-in vs $200 for Ivim Health. That's $51 a month or $612a year. The 12-month math matters most if you're planning to maintain on GLP-1 long-term. If you're running a 3-month trial, the $153 delta is small against the cost of stopping early on the wrong dose. Insurance changes the picture: if either program runs prior auth and your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, branded with copay can beat both cash-pay totals.
If lock-in is your main filter
Ivim Health (4-mo minimum) and Sam's Club Member Health (no lock-in) sit at different cancellation tiers. If you're first-time on a GLP-1 and unsure how you'll tolerate it, Sam's Club Member Health's easier cancellation is the safer trial.
