The verdict
RedBox Rx takes it — 70.2/100 to 64.2/100.
RedBox Rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. RedBox Rx is a US telehealth pharmacy (parent company Hy-Vee) offering compounded GLP-1 weight management with flat, dose-independent pricing.

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 #105 · C
Strengths
- Flat, dose-independent pricing on both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Offers both weekly injections and daily oral tablets
- Includes unlimited provider follow-ups, a metabolic panel and a dietitian session
- Backed by grocery-pharmacy parent company Hy-Vee
Where it loses points
- Does not serve every state (for example Mississippi is excluded)
- Does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy
