Edessa vs Fitstry
The verdict
Edessa takes it — 70.8/100 to 61.5/100.
Edessa grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Clean three-rung tables one click in, behind a homepage whose three cards all quote six-month rungs and whose cheapest belongs to a different drug.
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.

Graded #115 · C
Strengths
- Each product page carries a plain three-rung table, so the commitment behind every figure is visible
- "Same price, every dose" is printed on each product page
- Names its operating entity and a full street address in Las Vegas, Nevada
- All-inclusive: provider consultation, medication, free expedited shipping, ongoing check-ins and 24/7 clinical support, and HSA and FSA eligible
- An oral tablet sits beside the two injections
Where it loses points
- The homepage leads with "Start for just $135", a six-month prepay on the semaglutide injection; month-to-month tirzepatide is $239
- All three homepage cards quote the six-month rung, so the real monthly rates appear only after a click
- Its Terms give two corporate forms for the same company in one clause — "Edessa Group, LLC, a Nevada corporation"
- "Join 100,000+ successful GLP-1 patients" carries no source, and the money-back guarantee's terms are on no marketing page
- No lab or monitoring protocol is published
Graded #320 · C
Strengths
- Transparent pricing before you commit — compounded semaglutide from $179/mo, tirzepatide from $269/mo, oral GLP-1 from $209/mo (annual plan)
- Free screening with a one-time $99 program fee that is fully refunded if a clinician can't prescribe ('Approved, or Your $99 Back')
- Monthly price bundles a lab panel (CMP, A1c, lipids, TSH), unlimited clinician access, bi-weekly care coaching and a 24/7 Care Line
- Runs under Weightstry, LLC, a LegitScript-certified practice, with a named support email and phone
- Full compounded lineup — weekly injection, daily oral tablet and microdosing options
Where it loses points
- Month-to-month pricing is notably higher than the annual plan ($249 vs $179 semaglutide, $339 vs $269 tirzepatide)
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) options
- Framed for women 40+, and serves 49 states rather than all 50 (the excluded state isn't disclosed publicly)
- Works with state-licensed compounding pharmacies but doesn't name a specific pharmacy partner on the Fitstry page
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-reviewed or approved — a different evidence and regulatory tier than brand-name
