Arc-1 vs Maven Clinic
The verdict
Maven Clinic takes it — 58/100 to 56.3/100, but only just.
Maven Clinic grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Maven Clinic is a virtual women's and family health platform (fertility, maternity, menopause, pediatrics) used by 2,300+ employers that also runs a dedicated GLP-1 Care program. Arc-1 is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
