The verdict

MyStart Health takes it — 67.1/100 to 60.8/100.

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 #176 · 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
The Virtual NP

Graded #316 · C

Strengths

  • FDA-approved branded Zepbound and Wegovy only, no compounded
  • Transparent fees: 99 visit or 75 per month membership
  • HSA/FSA accepted and prior authorization assistance offered
  • NP-led with same or next-day booking and home shipping

Where it loses points

  • Branded only, so medication cost is high and billed separately
  • Limited to seven states
  • No compounded lower-cost GLP-1 alternative
  • Single-provider practice may limit scale and hours
