The verdict

Zappy Health takes it — 66.2/100 to 65/100, but only just.

Zappy Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Zappy Health is a telehealth weight-loss platform offering both compounded and brand-name GLP-1: compounded semaglutide from $159/month and tirzepatide from $299/month, plus brand Wegovy and Zepbound. Vital Edge 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.
