Alternate Health Club vs Pomegranate Health
The verdict
Alternate Health Club takes it — 69.8/100 to 69.4/100, 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. Pomegranate Health is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #111 · C
Strengths
- $129/month compounded semaglutide is among the cheapest in the US market
- $169/month compounded tirzepatide is competitive with established platforms
- Complimentary workout and dietary plans bundled with medication — most peers don't
- LegitScript verified
- US-licensed clinicians
Where it loses points
- Parent company / legal entity not publicly disclosed
- State of incorporation not disclosed
- Per-state availability not listed — confirm your state ships before committing
- Pharmacy partners not publicly named
- Unclear whether lab work is included
Graded #122 · C
Strengths
- No membership and no consultation fee — the site states 'No Membership required' and 'Transparent pricing, no hidden fees'
- The semaglutide price sits in the product page's own static HTML, so it can be read before any intake
- Shipping is included: 'shipped discreetly to your door at no extra cost'
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are offered
Where it loses points
- The tirzepatide price is not on the public site at all — it exists only inside the in-app pricing portal, and there is no standalone tirzepatide product page to read it from
- Both published figures are floors, a 'Starts @' and a Starter tier, and no price is published for the dose you titrate up to
- The states it can prescribe in are not disclosed anywhere; the dataset's own note records that semaglutide was unavailable in CA, IA and WI
- Klarna, Afterpay and Affirm are offered at checkout, so any monthly figure seen in a financing widget is an instalment and not the medication price
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
