The verdict

Woodwork takes it — 73/100 to 59.6/100.

Woodwork grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Woodwork is a men's health telehealth platform built by Grindr that offers compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medications alongside ED care, with a focus on serving gay and queer men.

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.

Metabolyz

Graded #339 · C

Strengths

  • Three GLP-1 programs: standard semaglutide, dual-agonist tirzepatide, and a microdose protocol for near-goal or dose-sensitive patients
  • Nutrition, movement, and lifestyle coaching included in all programs at no extra charge
  • Medication compounded in licensed 503A/503B US pharmacies with temperature-controlled, unmarked direct-to-door delivery
  • Licensed provider supervision with direct messaging access and structured check-ins throughout
  • Telehealth across all 50 states; BMI 27+ eligibility (25+ with weight-related condition)

Where it loses points

  • Pricing is fully gated — not disclosed until after consultation, preventing upfront cost comparison
  • Compounded GLP-1 only — no brand-name options (Wegovy, Zepbound) available
  • No LegitScript certification or named medical leadership found on public-facing pages
  • Labs not mentioned as included — unclear whether baseline or follow-up bloodwork is offered
  • Newer brand with no external reviews, published outcomes data, or notable accreditations
Woodwork

  • Compounded semaglutide offered as injection or oral tablet
  • No separate consult or membership fees
  • Free shipping, included lab work, and 1-on-1 care coaching
  • HSA and FSA eligible; bundles a free Grindr Unlimited subscription

Where it loses points

  • Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products

  • States served are not listed publicly
  • No compounding pharmacy partner named and no LegitScript badge shown
  • Weight loss is secondary to the platform's men's-health/ED focus
