Direct Meds vs HealthHub
The verdict
Direct Meds takes it — 82.6/100 to 56/100.
Direct Meds grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. One of the few programs offering an oral/sublingual route alongside injectable — semaglutide from ~$179 sublingual (~$297 injectable), tirzepatide ~$224/$399, with an intro promo near $147, all-inclusive and no membership.
