The verdict

MyStart Health takes it — 67.1/100 to 66.3/100, but only just.

MyStart Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. MyStart Health offers all-inclusive compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at $299/month with a price-lock guarantee, same-day physician consultations, and 24/7 care team access. Heros Health is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

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.

Heros Health

Graded #190 · C

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a flat program price, not tiered by dose
  • Transparent pricing: $149 first month, then $199/mo (or $165/mo on the 3-month plan)
  • 90-day money-back guarantee on GLP-1 treatment
  • Dose adjustments at weeks 2, 4, and 8 included at no extra cost
  • Named board-certified physicians (Dr. Amber Patel, Dr. Scott Sanderson, Dr. Scott Nass)

Where it loses points

  • Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products
  • Specific 503A pharmacy partner is not named publicly
  • State coverage is stated inconsistently on the site (claims both 50 and 46 states)
  • No insurance billing — cash-pay only
MyStart Health

Graded #168 · C

Strengths

  • Price Lock Guarantee — your $299 base rate doesn't rise as your dose escalates
  • Fast onboarding: roughly 5-minute intake, 24-hour prescription turnaround, 2–4 day shipping
  • 24/7 care team access with unlimited clinician messaging included
  • LegitScript certified
  • Clear Section 503A compounding disclosure on every landing page

Where it loses points

  • Not BBB accredited — C+ rating with 10 complaints, mostly shipping delays and support access
  • Compounded only — no FDA-approved Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
  • Markets oral tirzepatide, but no FDA-approved oral tirzepatide exists
  • Very new company (incorporated May 2024) with a limited track record
  • Pharmacy partners not named, so 503A compliance can't be independently verified

Also worth a look

Neither is our top-graded pick — CoreAge Rx leads the scorecard

Across all 499 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 91.8/100 (A−). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.
