Lighter You vs telos rx
The verdict
telos rx takes it — 85.4/100 to 74.3/100.
telos rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A LegitScript-certified, HIPAA telehealth with one of the deepest published catalogs in the ranking — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (oral and microdosed routes included) alongside PT-141, intranasal NAD+, and a long recovery/GH peptide bench — with compounded GLP-1 starting from $49/mo on an annual plan.

The numbers
| Metric | Lighter You | telos rx |
|---|---|---|
| WeighScore | 74.3/100 | 85.4/100 |
| Grade | C | B |
| Site position | #69 | #14 |
| Semaglutide | $169 per 4 weeks (store and intake price; thirteen charges a year) | $99/mo injectable — the $49 headline is only the FIRST month of the 12-month prepaid ORAL plan, which renews at $129/mo billed every 48 weeks |
| Tirzepatide | $339 per 4 weeks (store and intake price; the marketing site advertises $169) | $139/mo injectable · $129/mo oral · $116/mo microdosed (microdosing is tirzepatide, not semaglutide) |
| Coverage | All 50 states plus Washington, D.C. (claimed; the footer says otherwise) | Not publicly listed |
| Brand-name access | Compounded only | Compounded only |
| Oral / sublingual | Yes | Yes |
Site position #69 · C
Strengths
- The store and the intake agree with each other, so a reader who starts at the store sees the figure that will be charged
- Names four dispensing pharmacies with addresses and phone numbers
- Runs oral, microdose and injectable GLP-1 lines plus a separate peptide sub-brand, so the menu is unusually wide for the price band
- Unlimited video visits and dietitian check-ins are described as included in every plan
- A full refund is offered if a clinician declines the prescription
Where it loses points
- Tirzepatide is advertised at $169 a month on the marketing site and sold at $339 per four weeks in the store and the intake
- The marketing site says “/mo” and the store bills per four weeks, which is thirteen charges a year rather than twelve
- GLP-1 tablets are advertised at $249 and sold at $279 per four weeks; microdosing is advertised at $96 and sold at $179
- The peptide sub-brand prices the same products differently again — NAD+ at $199 against $229, sermorelin at $175 against $229
- The Terms claim all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. and the footer on the same site says not available in all 50 states
- No clinician, medical group or NPI is named, and no compounding class appears anywhere on the domain
- A dietitian visit is promised on the homepage with an asterisk that resolves to no footnote, and neither the Terms nor the refund policy promises one
Site position #14 · B
Strengths
- Deep published catalog — sema, tirz, PT-141, intranasal NAD+, recovery/GH peptides, GHK-Cu, Dihexa, HRT
- Needle-free and oral GLP-1 options, not injection-only
- LegitScript-certified and HIPAA, with US providers and pharmacies, HSA/FSA and free shipping
- Low GLP-1 entry — from $49/mo microdosed on an annual plan
Where it loses points
- Everything is compounded and not FDA-approved, including the peptides
- Pricing is opaque outside GLP-1 and the lowest rates require annual lock-in
- No named clinicians and thin third-party reviews
- Several research-grade peptides carry limited clinical evidence
