Beluga Health

Graded #430 · C

Strengths

  • Supports GLP-1 care with compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide
  • Board-certified providers and a 50-state medical infrastructure
  • LegitScript certified with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 security
  • Pharmacies follow FDA/USP standards with third-party batch testing
  • Powers many DTC brands as a turnkey telehealth backbone

Where it loses points

  • White-label B2B group, not a direct consumer-facing service
  • Offers compounded, not FDA-approved branded, GLP-1s
  • No public consumer pricing for the GLP-1 offering
  • Cited among nationwide groups tied to FDA telehealth GLP-1 scrutiny
  • Care quality varies by the consumer brand using the platform
Contour Health

Graded #177 · C

Strengths

  • Free medical consultation — no charge to talk with a provider before starting
  • Pay-per-vial pricing with no long-term subscription commitment required to participate
  • Names its compounding pharmacy partner (Strive Pharmacy, 503A accredited) — a real transparency signal
  • LegitScript badge links to a genuine, working LegitScript verification checker for the domain
  • Board-certified Medical Director and named nurse-practitioner care team, not anonymous providers

Where it loses points

  • State availability list is not published — Terms of Service only says "certain states"
  • All product purchases are non-refundable per Terms of Service
  • Compounded injectable only — no oral option, no brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound/Ozempic/Mounjaro
  • Terms of Service also describe an optional subscription tier with a 3-month minimum, despite marketing emphasizing "no subscriptions"
  • No insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid accepted — cash-pay or HSA/FSA only

Also worth a look

Pricing/verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last grading; the WeighScore is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
