The verdict

Sprout Health takes it — 86.4/100 to 71.8/100.

Sprout Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A LegitScript-certified desk that pairs low-cost compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with a real brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound path — and a near-frictionless, often visit-free start.

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 #87 · 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
Sprout Health

Graded #6 · B

Strengths

  • LegitScript-certified with a listed address and contact line
  • Both compounded ($149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide) and a genuine brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound route
  • Low-friction intake — no labs and often no telehealth visit required

Where it loses points

  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved
  • No oral or sublingual route — injectable only
  • Thin transparency — no named medical director, and state availability is quiz-gated
  • "No labs, no visit" convenience also means lighter clinical oversight

Also worth a look

Neither is our top-graded pick — CoreAge Rx leads the scorecard

Across all 499 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 91.8/100 (A−). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.
