HumeCare+ vs Velvet Rx
The verdict
HumeCare+ takes it — 58.6/100 to 58.1/100, but only just.
HumeCare+ grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. HumeCare+ is the GLP-1 telehealth program from Hume Health, the body-composition scale company. Velvet Rx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #366 · C
Strengths
- Pairs compounded semaglutide with continuous body-composition tracking (lose fat, preserve muscle)
- Includes a Hume Pod body-composition device at no extra cost
- From $199/mo, billed monthly, cancel anytime
- Backed by Hume Health, an established body-composition scale brand
- Clinician-prescribed and monitored with weekly tracking
Where it loses points
- Final medication pricing is gated behind an intake quiz
- Only semaglutide is shown on the marketing site (tirzepatide not confirmed)
- Prescribing medical group and pharmacy partner not named
- States of operation not published
- Not LegitScript-certified (no certification displayed)
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
