Green Cap Health vs Hello Alpha
The verdict
Green Cap Health takes it — 63.2/100 to 58.9/100.
Green Cap Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Green Cap Health is a Texas-only telehealth practice with a vertically integrated model: it is both the prescribing clinical practice and the in-house compounding pharmacy.
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 #258 · C
Strengths
- Vertically integrated: the prescribing practice and the compounding pharmacy are the same company, so the supply chain is short and named
- Same-day provider review and 1-3 day discreet shipping
- The full commitment ladder is published, so the month-to-month rate and the six-month rate can be compared directly
Where it loses points
- The advertised $2.63-a-day and $79 first-month figures do not correspond to any purchasable plan; the cheapest real rates are $129/mo semaglutide and $199/mo tirzepatide, both on six-month commitments, and month-to-month is $179 and $279
- The terms disclose a separate Weight Management Program Membership Fee, charged periodically on top of the plan and revealed only during checkout — it appears on no product page
- The terms also state recurring fees are charged in advance without seeking any additional authorisation
- Service is Texas-only, so nothing here is available to a reader outside that state
- The site's terms link out to lifemd.com's terms — the legal text is another company's
Graded #354 · C
Strengths
- Full branded GLP-1 lineup: Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Zepbound, Mounjaro
- Offers the oral GLP-1 Foundayo plus oral weight-loss medications
- Works with insurance
- Ongoing clinician care via online membership
Where it loses points
- Cash pricing is not published on the public site
- Full state list is not enumerated
- Insurance coverage of the medication still depends on your plan
