The verdict

Woodwork takes it — 73.2/100 to 70.5/100.

Woodwork grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Woodwork is a men's health telehealth platform built by Grindr that offers compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medications alongside ED care, with a focus on serving gay and queer men.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

AlyveRx

Graded #103 · C

Strengths

  • Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as both injections and needle-free sublingual drops for people who dislike needles
  • Transparent monthly pricing shown upfront, no insurance required, and free discreet delivery
  • Also carries brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro through its provider network

Where it loses points

  • Does not publicly name its dispensing pharmacy or display a LegitScript seal, so third-party accreditation is unverified
  • Sublingual GLP-1 absorption relies on the company proprietary PermeAct technology and is not FDA-reviewed for weight loss
  • State availability is not published on the site

  • Free shipping, included lab work, and 1-on-1 care coaching
