Claya vs eMed
The verdict
Claya takes it — 62.8/100 to 57.4/100.
Claya grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Claya is a direct-to-consumer telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injectable and oral-tablet forms — a wider format range than most competitors.
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.
