The verdict

Measured takes it — 75.1/100 to 44.3/100.

Measured grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Metabolic-health membership pairing GLP-1 treatment with 1:1 nutrition support and board-certified provider care.

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.

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
Measured

Graded #58 · C

Strengths

  • Membership includes 1:1 nutrition support and board-certified provider care
  • Both compounded (from $79/mo microdose, $119 semaglutide, $229 tirzepatide) and brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound
  • Insurance or cash-pay options for brand-name medications
  • Oral option available (Wegovy pill); cancel-anytime membership

Where it loses points

  • Membership ($49/mo) is billed separately on top of medication cost
  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
  • Compounding/dispensing pharmacies not individually named
  • State availability not published
