Graded #257 · C

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide from $179 first month with free shipping, no membership, no contract, and no insurance required
  • Genuinely all-inclusive: 1:1 physician guidance, free dietician visits and care coaching, 24/7 support, and an all-in-one patient portal
  • Names its compounding pharmacies (RedRock Pharmacy, Beaker Pharmacy) — more transparent than most compounded sellers
  • HSA/FSA eligible; full legal suite (Terms, Privacy, Privacy Practices, Refund, Medical Consent, California Bill of Rights)

Where it loses points

  • $179 is a first-month/intro price — ongoing monthly cost is higher (tiers to ~$249-$299)
  • Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy or Ozempic
  • Appears to offer compounded semaglutide only — tirzepatide is not advertised
  • Displays a generic LegitScript Certified badge but no verifiable seal/listing; state-availability list not published
Welling Health

Graded #158 · C

Strengths

  • Transparent flat monthly rate — $190 semaglutide / $275 tirzepatide, all doses, no insurance or hidden fees
  • LegitScript-certified 503A pharmacy with US-licensed clinicians in all 50 states and a named legal entity
  • Streak discounts cut up to 30% — semaglutide as low as $133/month for logging meals consistently
  • Free shipping, free AI macro-tracker app, and 24-hour intake review

Where it loses points

  • Tirzepatide at $275/month is higher than the cheapest compounded competitors
  • The streak discount requires daily in-app meal logging — miss days and you pay full rate
  • The compounding pharmacy partner is described as a LegitScript-certified 503A but not named
  • Only two medications — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide; no oral or non-GLP options
