Arc-1 vs Evolve Telemed
The verdict
Evolve Telemed takes it — 58.1/100 to 56.3/100, but only just.
Evolve Telemed grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Evolve Telemed is a hormone- and peptide-optimization telehealth practice for men and women, spanning TRT, weight management, sexual wellness, hair restoration, menopause/BHRT and thyroid. Arc-1 is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #378 · C
Strengths
- Established hormone- and peptide-optimization brand with board-certified specialists and a physician-plus-care-specialist support model
- Compounded GLP-1 (semaglutide) weight care offered alongside TRT, menopause/BHRT, thyroid and sexual-wellness programs in one practice
- Coordinated couples care plans plus dedicated men's and women's tracks

Where it loses points
- No GLP-1 pricing published — cost is only revealed after a consultation, so you can't compare value upfront
- Doesn't list the states it serves or name its compounding pharmacies
- Weight loss is one of many verticals, not a dedicated GLP-1-first program
- Tirzepatide availability isn't confirmed on the site; only compounded semaglutide is referenced
- Not shown on our price-ranked /best lists because no pricing is disclosed
