The verdict

Sprout Health takes it — 86/100 to 84/100, but only just.

Sprout Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A LegitScript-certified desk that pairs low-cost compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with a real brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound path — and a near-frictionless, often visit-free start. Effecty is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission at no cost to you. It never changes the WeighScore.

Sprout Health

Graded #12 · B

Strengths

  • LegitScript-certified with a listed address and contact line
  • Both compounded ($149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide) and a genuine brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound route
  • Low-friction intake — no labs and often no telehealth visit required

Where it loses points

  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved
  • No oral or sublingual route — injectable only
  • Thin transparency — no named medical director, and state availability is quiz-gated
  • "No labs, no visit" convenience also means lighter clinical oversight
Effecty

Graded #18 · B

Strengths

  • Brand-name access
  • LegitScript-verified, all 50 states
  • Both molecules

Where it loses points

  • Higher pricing ($160/$240)
  • Injection-only
  • Not a value leader

Also worth a look

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

Across all 37 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 94/100 (A). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.
