Kova

Graded #498 · C

Strengths

  • Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
  • Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
  • States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
  • Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
  • You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment

Where it loses points

  • At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
  • The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
  • Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
  • Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
  • No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
Maves

Graded #91 · C

Strengths

  • LegitScript Certified
  • Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
  • $99/mo first-month intro pricing on semaglutide — among the most aggressive we track
  • All 50 states covered, stated explicitly
  • Both brand (Maves) and parent (Homera Health) disclosed for accountability

Where it loses points

  • 503A pharmacy partner not named (only 'licensed U.S. pharmacies')
  • Tirzepatide pricing not stated on the homepage — only listed as an offering
  • Named medical director / clinical leadership not disclosed
  • Refund and cancellation policy not detailed publicly
  • Corporate address and arbitration venue not disclosed
