Alegro Health vs Aspen
The verdict
Alegro Health takes it — 58.9/100 to 58.4/100, but only just.
Alegro Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Alegro Health is a HIPAA telehealth practice based in McKinney, Texas that offers a low-cost compounded semaglutide weight-loss starter. Aspen is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #352 · C
Strengths
- Low-cost entry point: 199 dollars for a full 8-week semaglutide starter with B12
- Direct shipping with no recurring monthly fees
- Operates from a physical Texas medical practice with a published phone number
Where it loses points
- Semaglutide only; no tirzepatide offered
- Available in select states only, which are not enumerated
- Thin public information and compounding pharmacy not named on the site
Graded #372 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript-certified with an independently verifiable seal (#50306023) and HIPAA compliance — a strong trust signal for a compounded-GLP-1 telehealth
- Names its dispensing pharmacy: Red Rock Compounding Pharmacy, LegitScript-certified and NABP-accredited, licensed in 49 states plus DC
- Flat pricing at every dose ("same price at every dose, no surprises") plus free expedited shipping, so your cost won't rise as you titrate up
- Competitive prepay rates — compounded semaglutide as low as $179/mo (12-mo) and tirzepatide $299/mo — with zero interest and no credit check
- Money-back guarantee for qualifying patients who complete the full 28-week program without losing weight; available in all 50 states + DC
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound or Ozempic — and compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-reviewed or approved
- Even the "monthly" plan requires a 3-month commitment with three months of medication shipped and billed upfront — limited month-to-month flexibility
- Standing month-to-month pricing is steep ($279 semaglutide, $399 tirzepatide); the lowest rates require 6- or 12-month prepay
- The provider chooses semaglutide vs tirzepatide for you, so you can't freely pick your own molecule
- Registered as Aspen Health Systems LLC at a Sheridan, WY address; async model with no routine video visit
