The verdict

Care Bare Rx takes it — 75/100 to 58.1/100.

Care Bare Rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Oral as well as injectable routes for both molecules plus a brand Ozempic lane, bundled with hair, TRT and sexual health.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Care Bare Rx

Graded #43 · C

Strengths

  • Oral tirzepatide as well as injectable — rare on this board
  • Brand Ozempic (from $705/mo) and oral Rybelsus beside the compounded line
  • LegitScript certified and HIPAA compliant
  • One platform if you also want hair, TRT, sexual health or NAD+

Where it loses points

  • The advertised "from $199/mo" is one figure shared across all weight-loss treatments — neither molecule priced separately
  • Per-dose pricing is quiz-gated, so a titrated cost cannot be modelled beforehand
  • No named clinicians, founding year or parent company disclosed
  • Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
Velvet Rx

Graded #381 · C

Strengths

  • Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
  • First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
  • Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
  • FSA/HSA eligible
  • Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1

Where it loses points

  • Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
  • No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
  • No legal entity name disclosed
  • No physical address disclosed
  • Compounding pharmacy partner not named
