LevelUp Rx vs Transparent Meds
The verdict
LevelUp Rx takes it — 64.4/100 to 61.9/100.
LevelUp Rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. LevelUp Rx is a telehealth pharmacy offering compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medications - compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide - alongside a broad menu of men's and women's health treatments.

Graded #239 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide ($149.97/mo) and tirzepatide ($249.97/mo) on one platform
- Flat monthly price that never changes with your dose
- No-cost online consultation included with your order
- LegitScript-certified; partner pharmacies named (DiRx and The DrugStore)
- Free shipping with no insurance required
Where it loses points
- Compounded only - no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic or Mounjaro
- No single prescribing medical group named; physicians listed only for CA, MA, RI and VT
- State availability is confirmed during intake, not published as a list
- Prescription sales are final once shipped; no returns on dispensed medication
Graded #282 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, upfront monthly pricing — intro $149/mo for compounded semaglutide and $249/mo for tirzepatide (regular $229 / $349)
- Clean, modern telehealth experience with a quick eligibility quiz and clinician review before any prescription
- HIPAA-compliant and displays a LegitScript-style verification seal
Where it loses points
- Headline prices are intro first-month fees — the regular monthly cost is higher ($229 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide)
- Connector model that pairs you with licensed providers; it doesn't name its compounding pharmacy
- Doesn't publish the states it serves, so confirm availability before signing up
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections only — no oral, brand-name, or insurance options
