CaliberRx vs Defy Medical
The verdict
Defy Medical takes it — 60.2/100 to 58.5/100, but only just.
Defy Medical grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Defy Medical is a long-running telehealth clinic, best known for hormone replacement, that also prescribes GLP-1 medications for weight loss. CaliberRx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
