Defy Medical vs Gala Health
The verdict
Gala Health takes it — 82.9/100 to 60.2/100.
Gala Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide program for women that reaches all 50 states and keeps a brand-name Ozempic path open — but its $179 and $149 headline rates are yearly-subscription prices, not monthly ones.

Graded #325 · C
Strengths
- Multiple GLP-1 options: semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide
- Offers injection, ODT, and oral drop delivery forms
- Comprehensive blood testing and named medical director
- Established clinic with strong Trustpilot review volume
Where it loses points
- GLP-1 pricing not published on the website
- States served and shipping limits not disclosed
- Compounded versus brand status not stated online
- Lab-heavy, consult-first model may cost more upfront
Graded #17 · B−
Strengths
- Low compounded entry if you prepay the year — $179/mo tirzepatide and $149/mo microdose on the yearly subscription, $199/mo on a 3-month plan
- Prices are published openly rather than quiz-gated, with all doses included at the one rate
- All 50 states and LegitScript-verified, with a brand-name Ozempic path kept open ($1,299)
- HRT and menopause care available alongside GLP-1
Where it loses points
- No month-to-month price is published anywhere — the $179 tirzepatide and $149 microdose rates are both yearly subscriptions, and the shortest term Gala names is a 3-month plan at $199/mo
- Compounded formulations are not FDA-approved
- Brand-name Ozempic is priced steeply at $1,299
- No oral or sublingual route offered yet — injection only
- Newer operator (Gala GLP-1 by AI Coaching Inc) with no named clinicians and no named dispensing pharmacy
