Illustration of two objects on a balance scale

Updated 2026-09-18

Both sell tirzepatide. PlexusDx costs $189 a month and Willow costs $399, a difference of $210 a month or about $2,520 a year. The desk reads it as follows.

PlexusDx is pharmacy transparency and genetic testing. Willow is straightforward single-price plans. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though on this board it usually is.

Advert against bill. PlexusDx advertises $129 and bills $189; Willow advertises $399 and bills $399. The gaps are different sizes, which means comparing the two on their advertised prices gives you the wrong answer.

    The desk’s call

    The board says PlexusDx. What the board cannot say is whether the advertised figures you were shown elsewhere match these — check the gap row, because a listing that advertises low and bills high will beat an honest one in any comparison built on advertised prices.

    The verdict

    On the board, PlexusDx at $189 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. Willow earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: PlexusDx and Willow.
