BetterMe Rx vs ElixaMD
The verdict
BetterMe Rx takes it — 64.9/100 to 63.7/100, but only just.
BetterMe Rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. BetterMe Rx offers compounded semaglutide ($199/mo) and tirzepatide ($299/mo) in both injectable and oral daily tablet formats. ElixaMD is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

- Headline $199/$299 are limited-time SALE prices; regular prices are $249/$349 per month
Graded #251 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide from $179 first month with free shipping, no membership, no contract, and no insurance required
- Genuinely all-inclusive: 1:1 physician guidance, free dietician visits and care coaching, 24/7 support, and an all-in-one patient portal
- Names its compounding pharmacies (RedRock Pharmacy, Beaker Pharmacy) — more transparent than most compounded sellers
- HSA/FSA eligible; full legal suite (Terms, Privacy, Privacy Practices, Refund, Medical Consent, California Bill of Rights)
Where it loses points
- $179 is a first-month/intro price — ongoing monthly cost is higher (tiers to ~$249-$299)
- Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy or Ozempic
- Appears to offer compounded semaglutide only — tirzepatide is not advertised
- Displays a generic LegitScript Certified badge but no verifiable seal/listing; state-availability list not published
