Cielo vs Lavender Sky Health
The verdict
Cielo takes it — 69.4/100 to 68.7/100, but only just.
Cielo grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Cielo is a compounded-GLP-1-only telehealth platform offering semaglutide and tirzepatide with no brand-name drugs and no TRT, hair, or mental-health add-ons — a focused, single-purpose alternative to… Lavender Sky Health is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #121 · C
Strengths
- Among the lowest 3-month bundle prices in compounded GLP-1 ($115/mo semaglutide)
- Single flat price across all doses simplifies titration planning
- Corporate address (St. Petersburg, FL) and customer-service phone published
Where it loses points
- No LegitScript, NABP .pharmacy, or HIPAA badge on the home page
- Pharmacy partner not named (only 'regulated FDA pharmacy partners')
- State coverage list not published — can't verify all-50-state availability
- Clinical care runs through MD Integrations, a shared third-party network used by many brands
- No brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound option
Graded #138 · C
Strengths
- The treatment-plan pricing page publishes every pharmacy's full ladder rather than one headline figure, so the cheaper prepaid tiers are visible alongside the monthly ones
- A genuine month-to-month starter plan exists with no prepay, and the cheapest of them is what is filed above — Southend for semaglutide, ReviveRx for tirzepatide
- Compounded plans include the price of the medication, and shipping and supplies are stated as included
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are offered, across roughly ten named compounding pharmacies
Where it loses points
- This is a marketplace, not one price: every figure belongs to a named pharmacy on a named plan, and the pharmacy and plan have to travel with the number for it to mean anything
- Most of the ladder is prepaid — Tier plans need 8-10 weeks up front and Extended plans 3-4 months — and only a handful of the pharmacies publish a month-to-month starter plan at all
- Brand-name plans add a separate $25 monthly treatment-plan fee and explicitly do not include the price of the medication; only the compounded plans include it
- No price appears on the homepage, and the pricing page is the only place the ladders are published
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
