Claya vs MyStart Health
The verdict
Claya takes it — 62.8/100 to 61.3/100, but only just.
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. MyStart Health is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
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.
