The verdict

Harbor takes it — 71.8/100 to 58.1/100.

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.

Harbor

Graded #87 · 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
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
