Head-to-head comparison
Embody vs Luci
Two GLP-1 providers, one scorecard. Both are graded on the same six Desk Score dimensions — here is how they stack up, and which one fits you.
Desk Score
Embody offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide via injection plus a unique compounded oral tirzepatide gum formulation.
$79/mo (promo rate) sema · $129/mo (promo rate) tirz · Verified July 2026
Marked down on: The $79 flat rate relies on an auto-applied promo 'locked forever' — list price in the terms is $199/mo and reviewers allege the lock isn't honored
Desk Score
Luci is a budget-focused GLP-1 telehealth platform offering compounded medications with upfront pricing: compounded semaglutide as low as $99/month and compounded tirzepatide as low as $145/month.
$99/mo (promo rate) sema · $145/mo (promo rate) tirz · Verified June 2026
Marked down on: Compounded medications are not FDA-approved for weight loss (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
Embody takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 83/100 (B) against 51/100 (C) for Luci. Luci still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
