The verdict

MyStart Health takes it — 67.1/100 to 59.9/100.

MyStart Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. MyStart Health offers all-inclusive compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at $299/month with a price-lock guarantee, same-day physician consultations, and 24/7 care team access.

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.

MyStart Health

Graded #168 · C

Strengths

  • Price Lock Guarantee — your $299 base rate doesn't rise as your dose escalates
  • Fast onboarding: roughly 5-minute intake, 24-hour prescription turnaround, 2–4 day shipping
  • 24/7 care team access with unlimited clinician messaging included
  • LegitScript certified
  • Clear Section 503A compounding disclosure on every landing page

Where it loses points

  • Not BBB accredited — C+ rating with 10 complaints, mostly shipping delays and support access
  • Compounded only — no FDA-approved Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
  • Markets oral tirzepatide, but no FDA-approved oral tirzepatide exists
  • Very new company (incorporated May 2024) with a limited track record
  • Pharmacy partners not named, so 503A compliance can't be independently verified
Novi

Graded #331 · C

Strengths

  • Transparent all-in monthly pricing — medication, clinician support, and shipping bundled with no hidden fees or membership add-ons
  • Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide available
  • Unlimited clinician messaging included at no extra cost
  • Free 2-day shipping on every refill

Where it loses points

  • Compounded only — no FDA-approved Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro option
  • 3-month minimum commitment is non-refundable per Terms of Service unless a clinician deems treatment medically inappropriate
  • State availability and pharmacy partners not publicly listed — patients learn during intake which states and pharmacies serve them
