Defy Medical vs HelloWellness
The verdict
HelloWellness takes it — 60.9/100 to 60.2/100, but only just.
HelloWellness grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. HelloWellness (hellowellness.health) is a compounded GLP-1 telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide starting at $133/month and compounded tirzepatide starting at $166/month, with a 3-month plan… Defy Medical is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
