Lean Rx vs Nolu
The verdict
Nolu takes it — 69.7/100 to 60.6/100.
Nolu grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A wellness-branded compounded GLP-1 seller with an all-in per-order price and an oral semaglutide route — but its "$249" is billed per 4 weeks, not per calendar month.

Graded #324 · C
Strengths
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide offered
- Three formulations: injectable, sublingual, and tablet
- Upfront pricing with no hidden fees advertised
- Semaglutide starts at a low $266/month
- Telehealth call with a licensed provider before prescribing
Where it loses points
- Compounded-only; no FDA-approved branded options
- No published state availability list
- Platform is technology only, not a healthcare provider itself
- Provider credentials not detailed on site
Graded #115 · C
Strengths
- All-in per-order pricing — consultation, medication and shipping in one figure, no separate membership fee
- Oral semaglutide ($279 per 4 weeks) alongside the injectable, plus a Microdose GLP-1+B12/NAD+ stack ($179 per 4 weeks)
- LegitScript verified, available in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C.
Where it loses points
- Billed "per 4 weeks" rather than calendar month — roughly 8% higher annualized than the $249/$339 headline implies
- No named medical director, prescribers, or compounding pharmacy disclosed anywhere on the site
- Compounded only — not the FDA-approved brand product (Wegovy/Ozempic), which matters if you're relying on insurance
