Loop Health vs PlushCare
The verdict
PlushCare takes it — 74.5/100 to 64.2/100.
PlushCare grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Established virtual primary-care telehealth platform (subsidiary of Transcarent, Inc., a Delaware corporation, alongside Accolade, 2nd.MD, and 98point6 by Transcarent).
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.

Graded #244 · C
Strengths
- Multi-product wellness platform — GLP-1 plus peptides, NAD+, coaching, bloodwork
- Low membership entry point ($79/mo)
- Annual plan includes monthly 'research credit' toward compounds
- Explicit compounded-drug FDA disclaimer on-site
Where it loses points
- The medication price is on top of a $1,500-a-year membership, annual-plan only, which the terms confirm is separate from compound and medication costs
- Everything sold here is microdosed — the banner over both products reads 'MICRODOSED GLP-1', which is not a labelled therapeutic dose
- The prices exist only after the page's JavaScript runs; the served HTML body is empty
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #63 · C
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states
- Appointments with US board-certified physicians, not nurse practitioners only
- Virtual primary care — the same doctor can manage GLP-1s alongside other health needs
- Owned by Transcarent, a venture-backed health platform with a named corporate parent
Where it loses points
- Facing a California class action alleging deceptive subscription enrollment and unauthorized charges after cancellation
- GLP-1 prescribing is up to the clinician at the visit — not guaranteed at signup
- BBB complaints center on the membership cancellation process
