The verdict

Belle Health takes it — 77/100 to 58.1/100.

Belle Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Belle Health is a national DTC telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with flat-rate pricing — the same monthly cost at every dose, with no escalation surcharge as you titrate up.

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.

Belle Health

Graded #48 · C+

Strengths

  • Five named compounding pharmacy partners disclosed (Striker, Strive, OptioRx, Enovex, Braun PharmaCare)
  • Flat-rate pricing — $119/mo semaglutide, $199/mo tirzepatide — doesn't rise at higher doses
  • Free weekly registered-dietitian sessions included
  • Operating since 2017
  • LegitScript Certified

Where it loses points

  • $199 tirzepatide price requires a 3-month bundle commitment
  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
  • Multi-pharmacy model — formulations may differ across orders
  • FDA issued this company a warning letter dated 20 February 2026; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
Velvet Rx

Graded #381 · C

Strengths

  • Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
  • First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
  • Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
  • FSA/HSA eligible
  • Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1

Where it loses points

  • Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
  • No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
  • No legal entity name disclosed
  • No physical address disclosed
  • Compounding pharmacy partner not named
