InstaRX vs Wisp
The verdict
Wisp takes it — 64.4/100 to 63.8/100, but only just.
Wisp grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Wisp (hellowisp.com) is a US telehealth provider whose weight care vertical offers brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, and Saxenda alongside a compounded sublingual semaglutide drops formulation at $225/month. InstaRX is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #250 · C
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states plus DC
- Manage GLP-1, anti-aging peptides, and sexual-health medications on one account
- Offers both compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide
- Independent provider group (Dr Telx) named in the Terms of Service
Where it loses points
- No per-dose or monthly pricing published — only a "$199 to get started" hook; you can't compare costs before intake
- No LegitScript, HIPAA, or NABP accreditation shown on public pages
- Compounding pharmacy not named — only "U.S. pharmacies"
- Terms of Service reads like generic boilerplate, including copy-paste language about women's health issues — suggests low template hygiene
- Delaware governing law for disputes despite a California corporate address
Graded #243 · C
Strengths
- Broad GLP-1 menu — branded injectables (Wegovy, Zepbound, Saxenda) plus a compounded sublingual option
- LegitScript certified with named board-certified providers (Dr. Shannon Chatham DO, Andrea Sleeth WHNP-BC)
- Unusually candid about the sublingual option's limits, noting effectiveness in patients may vary
Where it loses points
- The $99/mo tirzepatide figure is a consultation-and-care subscription, not the medication: Zepbound is filled at a pharmacy of your choice at its own cost, which Wisp does not publish
- The compounded semaglutide option is sublingual drops, which Wisp itself describes as less effective than injection
- Brand-name access is a prescription, not a dispensed product, so the drug cost is outside anything quoted here
