The verdict
Green Cap Health takes it — 65.3/100 to 44.3/100.
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, so prescriptions are filled under…

Graded #227 · C
Strengths
- Vertically integrated — it is both the clinical practice and its own 503A Texas compounding pharmacy, a clear supply chain
- Aggressive $79 first-month intro pricing, competitive despite being Texas-only
- Texas patients can consolidate GLP-1, hair, skin, and sexual wellness under one practice
- Phone support published with a Houston area code
- Same-day provider review, faster than 24–48hr competitors
Where it loses points
- Texas only — patients in the other 49 states and DC can't use it
- No tirzepatide — semaglutide only, so those wanting the higher-magnitude option must look elsewhere
- LegitScript certification status not disclosed
- No named medical director — only "doctors, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists"
- FDA compounded-medication disclaimer not visible on the homepage
Graded #498 · C
Strengths
- Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
- Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
- States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
- Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
- You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment
Where it loses points
- At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
- The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
- Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
- No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
