The verdict

Gaya Wellness takes it — 63.9/100 to 58.1/100.

Gaya Wellness grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Gaya Wellness is a virtual, OB/GYN-led telehealth practice focused on women 40+ for menopause, hormone replacement, and weight loss.

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.

Gaya Wellness

Graded #248 · C

Strengths

  • OB/GYN-led care designed for women 40+ and menopause overlap
  • Includes a 50+ biomarker lab panel and weekly physician check-ins
  • HSA/FSA eligible with a GLP-1 plus bioidentical HRT bundle option
  • Transparent tiered pricing published online

Where it loses points

  • Weight loss is one vertical alongside menopause and hormone care
  • Medication-included tiers ($349+/mo) are pricier than many compounders
  • Available in only five states (FL, NC, VA, IN, TN)
Velvet Rx

Graded #381 · C

Strengths

  • Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
  • First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
  • Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
  • FSA/HSA eligible
  • Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1

Where it loses points

  • Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
  • No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
  • No legal entity name disclosed
  • No physical address disclosed
  • Compounding pharmacy partner not named
