Calibrate Health vs Cora Health
The verdict

Cora Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Cora Health is a direct-to-consumer telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide ($99–$175/mo) and tirzepatide ($135–$225/mo) with flat per-tier pricing — no surcharge as your dose escalates.

Graded #125 · C
Strengths
- Year-long program with 1:1 video coaching, dietitian support, and behavior-change curriculum — a deeper clinical wrap than transactional telehealth
- $199/month program fee is competitive; medication co-pay can drop to ~$25/month with insurance and a manufacturer savings card
- Branded GLP-1s only (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Foundayo) — no compounded products
- Insurance navigation team works to maximize coverage and reportedly accepts most major commercial plans
- Money-back guarantee tied to a 10% weight-loss outcome over the program year
Where it loses points
- Medication cost is on top of the $199/month fee; cash-pay patients face full manufacturer pricing
- Insurance navigation only helps if your plan actually covers branded GLP-1s for weight loss — many don't
- Meaningfully more expensive than compounded telehealth if your insurance denies coverage
- Distinct from 'Oxford's Medical Weight Loss (The Calibrate Clinic)' — don't confuse the two
- Initial 3-month commitment required ($597 total, billed as $199/mo) before it renews month-to-month — more lock-in than month-to-month rivals
Graded #76 · C
Strengths
- Two named 503A compounding pharmacy partners disclosed on first-party pages (Hallandale Pharmacy + VialsRx)
- Hallandale Pharmacy is PCAB-accredited and operating since 2003 (independently verified)
- LegitScript Certified (seal ID 49690100 in footer)
- Flat per-tier pricing — no dose-escalation surcharge
- Annual commitment delivers $99/mo semaglutide and $135/mo tirzepatide
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and not therapeutically equivalent to Wegovy/Zepbound
- Leanio Health LLC has zero independent operating-history footprint (no BBB, no press, likely <12 months old)
- Lowest advertised prices require 12-month commitment with no partial refunds
- No brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound or oral GLP-1 (orforglipron/Rybelsus) options
- Founder names and funding undisclosed on site
