The verdict

Next Vial takes it — 59.3/100 to 55.2/100.

Next Vial grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Fully online GLP-1 telehealth marketplace connecting patients with licensed providers for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, including microdose options.

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.
