Henry Meds vs Nova
The verdict
Henry Meds takes it — 77.3/100 to 64/100.
Henry Meds grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Henry's low monthly equivalents come with a full year paid upfront, so it is a poor fit for someone shopping for a short trial.

Graded #48 · C+
Strengths
- Published plan prices identify their upfront-payment requirement
- Medication, provider access, applicable supplies and shipping included if prescribed
- Compounded injectable semaglutide and oral options listed
Where it loses points
- The $197 semaglutide headline requires $2,364 upfront, not monthly payments
- The listed $234 tirzepatide offer is oral compounded medication, not an injectable quote
- Multi-month balances may remain payable after cancellation; medical-discontinuation refunds require documentation and approval, and dispensed medication is excluded
Graded #268 · C
Strengths
- Quotes an all-in figure that already contains the $99 monthly membership and free shipping, rather than splitting the bill in two
- Names a medical director and a nurse practitioner with credentials on the site
- States a 503A class in the weight-loss FAQ, and says which pharmacies class it uses and why
- An oral daily-dose lane sits beside the injections
- Publishes the one state it does not serve rather than claiming 50 and hedging
Where it loses points
- Three price sets are live at once: $198 and $210 in the hero and the API, $229 and $279 in the same pages' FAQ headings, and a third pair in the site's own script bundle
- The FAQ's own arithmetic does not reach the hero figure — $99 membership plus $130 medication is $229, not $198
- Every published figure is a starting-at floor that scales with dose, and no dose-to-price table exists on any surface
- One page puts “starting at $165/mo” under a note that medication is billed separately while the product page for the same item says $165 includes it
- “You are only charged if a licensed provider prescribes treatment” sits against a refund policy that keeps membership and consultation fees when the provider declines
- The how-it-works page still says clinicians are licensed in Texas and Florida on a site whose footer claims 49 states
- No compounding pharmacy and no medical group is named
Also worth a look
Another provider to compare: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx scores 89.5/100 (B+). CoreAge Rx advertises flat dose pricing for compounded injections, with no membership fee; its consultation-fee and refund deadlines deserve a close read before paying.
