The verdict

Sumbare Wellness takes it — 61.9/100 to 55.2/100.

Sumbare Wellness grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Langhorne, Pennsylvania telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide and a low-dose GLP-1 protocol on one flat $199/month plan, with the price confirmed only after a provider reviews you.

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 #442 · C

Strengths

  • First-party Novo Nordisk pharmacy — the most authoritative branded Wegovy channel
  • $199/mo intro pricing on Wegovy 0.25/0.5 mg starter doses (through 6/30/2026), the lowest brand self-pay price
  • $349/mo standard self-pay is well below the ~$1,300/mo retail list price
  • Ships to all 50 states with no telehealth-platform middleman fees
  • Cold-chain logistics handled directly by Novo Nordisk

Where it loses points

  • Wegovy only — no Ozempic, no tirzepatide, no compounded GLP-1
  • Requires an existing Wegovy prescription — no prescribing clinicians or telehealth intake
  • No clinical support included — your own prescriber handles titration and side effects
  • Manufacturer-set pricing can change at any time
  • $199 pen intro covers only the first 2 fills for new patients (through 6/30/2026); maintenance doses are $349/mo ($399 HD)
Sumbare Wellness

Graded #283 · C

Strengths

  • One flat $199/month price covering medication, provider review and shipping, with no consultation fee and no dose-change surcharge
  • Charges nothing if a provider does not approve you
  • Offers a deliberate low-dose microdosing protocol aimed at body composition, which most competitors do not break out
  • Publishes a named legal entity, a US mailing address and a working phone number
  • Pre-screening quiz is short and asks your goal before any medical question

Where it loses points

  • Cancellation terms contradict three ways: the homepage says cancel anytime, the Terms say 48 hours notice, the FAQ says 30 days
  • Availability is unclear: the homepage counter reads 3 states while the treatment pages say telehealth nationwide, and no state list is published
  • Its chart cites placebo-controlled trials of compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which do not exist; those trials studied the branded drugs
  • No compounding pharmacy is named, and neither 503A nor 503B appears anywhere on the site
  • Any returned prescription is charged a $35 disposal fee, and prescription orders cannot be cancelled at all after 24 hours

Also worth a look

Neither is our top-graded pick — CoreAge Rx leads the scorecard

Across all 499 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 91.8/100 (A−). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.
