The verdict

Harbor takes it — 72/100 to 58.6/100.

Harbor grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Harbor is a physician-led telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide (from $99/mo) and compounded tirzepatide (from $149/mo) — among the lowest headline prices in the market.

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 #85 · C

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide from $99/mo and tirzepatide from $149/mo — among the lowest headline prices in the market
  • LegitScript certified with 4.7-star rating, 94.6% success rate, and 10,000+ verified members
  • 24/7 physician access with ongoing consultations, dosage adjustments, and free discreet shipping
  • 12-Month Money Back Guarantee if you don't reach your weight-loss goal
  • HSA/FSA eligible; no hidden fees, no insurance billed

Where it loses points

  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; compounding pharmacy names not publicly disclosed
  • Dietitian support offered only post-program (maintenance phase), not during active treatment
  • State-specific consultation types vary; nationwide availability unconfirmed for all states
  • No labs disclosed; patient portal is a third-party platform (mdintegrations), not native
  • Newer brand; success rate and member counts are on-site claims, not third-party verified
Nucore Health

Graded #367 · C

Strengths

  • Physician-owned and LegitScript Certified — strong trust signals
  • Available nationwide in all 50 states
  • Care and pharmacy fulfillment run on OpenLoop Health's licensed network
  • Broad menu — compounded GLP-1, microdose tirzepatide, NAD+, sermorelin, MIC B12

Where it loses points

  • Published pricing is gated behind the intake quiz — no upfront cost shown
  • Legal terms and privacy are posted as downloadable documents, not web pages
  • Compounded GLP-1 is not FDA-approved and prescribed off-label (per their own notice)
  • Longevity and microdose positioning is marketing; evidence varies by use
