Alternate Health Club vs GOAL.MD
The verdict
Alternate Health Club takes it — 69.8/100 to 68.6/100, but only just.
Alternate Health Club grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Alternate Health Club (alternatehealthclub.com) is a LegitScript-verified compounded GLP-1 telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide at $129/month and compounded tirzepatide at $169/month. GOAL.MD is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
