The verdict

Knownwell takes it — 66.9/100 to 58.8/100.

Knownwell grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Knownwell is a weight-inclusive metabolic and primary care company co-founded by obesity-medicine specialist Dr.

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.

Knownwell

Graded #180 · C

Strengths

  • Co-founded by obesity-medicine specialist Dr. Angela Fitch
  • Branded FDA-approved GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Saxenda)
  • Official LillyDirect provider and Novo Wegovy-pill telehealth partner
  • Accepts insurance, copays as low as $25 for covered patients
  • Weight-inclusive care with dietitians and health coaches

Where it loses points

  • Specific self-pay monthly medication prices not transparently posted
  • In-person clinics limited to four metro areas
  • Branded-only focus can mean higher cost than compounded routes
PrescribedRX

Graded #360 · C

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide ($189/mo) and tirzepatide ($276/mo) injectables, with lower per-month pricing on the 3-month plans ($176 and $233/mo)
  • Clear, upfront plan pages showing monthly and multi-month pricing with no surprise fees
  • Care from licensed US providers with monthly home delivery and ongoing dose support
  • Bilingual English/Spanish site and a broader telehealth menu (TRT, longevity, hair, sexual health) for people who want more than weight loss

Where it loses points

  • Doesn't publish the states it serves — you only learn eligibility after starting the intake
  • Compounding pharmacies aren't named on the site
  • Mid-range pricing — cheaper compounded GLP-1 options exist and the 3-month discount is modest
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injectables only — no brand-name or oral options
  • Self-hosted affiliate program (not a vetted network); Florida/Palm Beach framing suggests a regional lean

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.

Pricing/verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last grading; the WeighScore is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
