Luvo Health vs Transparent Meds
The verdict
Transparent Meds takes it — 61.9/100 to 61/100, but only just.
Transparent Meds grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Transparent Meds is an online GLP-1 weight-care service that connects you with licensed medical providers and leads with upfront pricing: compounded weekly injections of semaglutide at an intro $149/month… Luvo Health is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
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 #305 · C
Strengths
- Full price list published openly, by medication and by commitment length, with no intake required
- Offers both compounded and brand-name Ozempic and Zepbound in one place
- Oral semaglutide tablets available as well as injections
- Full refund if a provider disqualifies you before medication is ordered
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
Where it loses points
- Billed per 4 weeks, not per month, which is 13 charges a year rather than 12
- You are charged for the first period as soon as you complete the intake form, before a clinician has reviewed you
- Refunds stop once medication is ordered, and for new patients with no video visit that is at intake submission
- Cancellation needs 72 hours notice before the billing date or you are charged for another cycle
- Bundle refunds are recalculated at the standard non-bundled rate, so the multi-month discount is clawed back
Graded #284 · 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
