24hrDOC vs Apex MD
The verdict
24hrDOC takes it — 72.1/100 to 71.8/100, but only just.
24hrDOC grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. 24hrDOC is a fast cash-pay telehealth service that prescribes compounded GLP-1 medications for weight loss, including once-weekly semaglutide injections, oral semaglutide tablets, and tirzepatide. Apex MD is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
