The verdict

Roen Rx takes it — 59.2/100 to 58.1/100, but only just.

Roen Rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Roen Rx offers compounded semaglutide as well as brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro with insurance coordination. Velvet Rx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

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.

Roen Rx

Graded #348 · C

Strengths

  • Insurance coordination for brand-name GLP-1s — as low as $25/mo
  • Both compounded and brand-name options
  • LegitScript approved with Compounded USA badge
  • Compounded semaglutide from $151/mo quarterly
  • Also offers primary care, mental health, and other specialties

Where it loses points

  • State availability not publicly disclosed
  • Insurance coordination may not work for all plans
  • Broader platform (ED, hair loss, skincare, birth control)
  • Requires a separate membership (first month $39); GLP-1 medications are NOT included in the membership fee - medication is billed on top
Velvet Rx

Graded #381 · C

Strengths

  • Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
  • First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
  • Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
  • FSA/HSA eligible
  • Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1

Where it loses points

  • Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
  • No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
  • No legal entity name disclosed
  • No physical address disclosed
  • Compounding pharmacy partner not named
