The verdict

Obu Health takes it — 59.7/100 to 55.2/100.

Obu Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Obu Health is a Las Vegas-based multi-product telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide from $190/month and compounded tirzepatide from $239/month, plus NAD+ and sermorelin add-ons.

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.

Obu Health

Graded #336 · C

Strengths

  • LegitScript-certified with publicly displayed ID (44206977)
  • Two named 503A compounding-pharmacy partners (Manifest Pharmacy SC + RX Compounding Store FL) — transparency above category baseline
  • Lower advertised semaglutide starting price ($190) than most multi-product peer platforms
  • Multi-product offering (GLP-1s + NAD+ + sermorelin + generic ED + birth control) for single-platform users
  • 24-hour US board-certified physician response window

Where it loses points

  • Per-dose pricing tiers not transparently published on product pages — only 'starting from' prices visible
  • No explicit state-coverage list disclosed; FAQ confirms restrictions exist 'based on state' without enumeration
  • Medical director not named publicly
  • No published consultation fee disclosure — unclear whether physician visit is included in medication price
  • All sales final per FAQ ('Federal and State law do not allow medication returns')
Transcarent

Graded #445 · C

Strengths

  • Comprehensive Weight Health pathway from lifestyle to GLP-1s to surgery
  • Care team of doctors, nurses and pharmacists supports medication use
  • Uses direct pharma contracts and a transparent PBM to cut costs
  • Integrates bariatric surgery navigation alongside medication
  • Built on 15 years of Surgery Center of Excellence experience

Where it loses points

  • Distributed only via employers and health plans, no direct cash-pay
  • GLP-1 access depends on whether the plan covers the medication
  • No public individual monthly pricing
  • Not available to consumers without an eligible employer or plan
