Better U Care vs Ivy Rx
The verdict
Ivy Rx takes it — 66.5/100 to 64.8/100, but only just.
Ivy Rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Telehealth provider offering tiered compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide programs. Better U Care is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
