The verdict

Apex MD takes it — 71.8/100 to 60.5/100.

Apex MD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Apex MD is a US virtual telemedicine platform licensed in all 50 states that prescribes compounded GLP-1 medications for weight loss.

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.

Apex MD

Graded #85 · C

Strengths

  • Licensed in all 50 states
  • Unlimited provider visits and Labcorp labs included in the plan
  • Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, injectable or oral
  • Medication delivery typically in under four business days

Where it loses points

  • Compounds bundle NAD, B-12 and L-Carnitine rather than a single-ingredient GLP-1
  • Does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy or list an accreditation seal
SkinnyRx

Graded #248 · C

FDAWarning letter issued to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx in February 2026. See the FDA warning-letter database.

Strengths

  • Both molecules by both routes: semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections, tirzepatide as a tablet on the identical term ladder, plus a separate low-dose line with its own page
  • The full term ladder — every rung, both molecules — is on the product page before any medical intake, which is more than most of this ranking discloses after one
  • Terms are concrete rather than gestural: free shipping, unlimited provider messaging, a 90-day money-back guarantee, and no charge at all if a clinician finds you ineligible
  • The state exclusions are published rather than discovered at checkout — 47 states plus DC, with Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi named

Where it loses points

  • FDA issued Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx a warning letter in February 2026; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
  • The advertised "$199/mo" and "$299/mo" are twelve-month rates by construction — the site's own price code drops the one-month rung before picking a headline — so the monthly rates are $349 semaglutide and $399 tirzepatide
  • Those rungs are a single up-front charge, not a smaller bill: $2,388 for the semaglutide year and $3,588 for the tirzepatide year, taken on day one and auto-renewing each term, with membership fees stated as non-refundable
  • The microdose line costs the SAME as full dose at every term the two share, and its floor is HIGHER — $229 against $199 on semaglutide, $319 against $299 on tirzepatide — because the low-dose plans stop at eight months rather than twelve
  • No brand-name product is actually purchasable: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound all carry a null price, both pill products are out of stock, and the only priced brand path is a $49/mo membership plus a medication cost that is never published
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved and are not generic equivalents of the brand drugs
  • Fulfillment is disclosed only as a category: "503A pharmacies", never a facility, never a city, and no medical director is named for the program anywhere on the site — so the two things that decide whether a compounded vial is trustworthy are the two things this seller does not publish
  • Labs and monitoring are simply absent from the site: nothing states whether baseline or follow-up bloodwork is required, included in the membership, or billed on top of it
  • Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi are excluded, so three states' readers cannot buy at any price on this ladder

Also worth a look
