MEDGm vs Velvet Rx
The verdict
MEDGm takes it — 59.1/100 to 58.1/100, but only just.
MEDGm grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. MEDGm hides every figure behind a sixteen-screen quiz, then prints “your price never increases” beside a rate that goes from $179 to $299 at the first renewal. Velvet Rx 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 #380 · C
Strengths
- Names four dispensing pharmacies with street addresses and phone numbers
- States its compounding class — produced in state-licensed 503A or FDA-registered facilities — rather than leaving it unsaid
- Coverage is 50 states plus the District of Columbia and the intake's own state selector agrees with the Terms, which is rarer than it should be
- Refills and shipping are described as included, with no separate shipping line at checkout
- Prices an oral semaglutide lane alongside both injections
Where it loses points
- No price is visible until a sixteen-screen quiz ending in name, email and phone number has been completed
- $179 and $279 are first-month rates produced by an auto-applied coupon; the standing month-to-month rates are $299 and $399
- The treatments FAQ says “your price never increases, even as your dose goes up” on a plan whose price increases at the first renewal
- The twelve-month bundle auto-renews for another full upfront charge of $2,028 or $3,228, billed up to ten days early, and nothing is refundable once taken
- The funnel prints “prescription plan approved” and a 100% success probability before any payment and before a clinician has seen the intake, beside a twenty-minute timer that resets on reload
- Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic have cards on the GLP-1 page and all six links lead to the quiz; the post-intake funnel contains none of those names
- No principal place of business is published — only a Delaware state of formation
- No clinician is named and no NPI appears anywhere; the site names professional entities only
Graded #413 · C
Strengths
- Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
- First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
- Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
- FSA/HSA eligible
- Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1
Where it loses points
- Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
- No LegitScript or NABP.pharmacy seal displayed
- No legal entity name disclosed
- No physical address disclosed
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
