Gala Health

A women-focused compounded GLP-1 program with menopause and hormone care in the same app, a brand-Ozempic path and nationwide coverage — but the plan length behind its from-prices only appears at checkout.

The verdict

Too close to call. Sprout Health and Gala Health land on the same Verdict Score of 86/100, so this one comes down to your priorities rather than our scoreboard. Weigh the factor-by-factor breakdown and pricing below — patients who want a low compounded entry price and minimal onboarding, and are happy with an injectable-only program.

The score compares published program terms and features; it does not measure clinical outcomes or predict which treatment will suit you.

Our featured partner is CoreAge Rx (94/100) — the most honest middle of the market: nationwide access, both molecules at one flat, no-surprise price.

Factor by factor

Both scored on the same six factors — see the methodology. The brass bar marks the stronger side on each.

Sprout Health

What we like

  • LegitScript-certified with a listed address and contact line
  • Clear posted prices: $149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide per four weeks, or $99 / $149 a month on a prepaid year
  • Low-friction intake — no labs and often no telehealth visit required

The caveats

  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, and no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound is listed
  • Monthly plans bill every four weeks, so a year is thirteen charges
  • 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

Gala Health

What we like

  • Advertised from $129/mo semaglutide and $179/mo tirzepatide (plan length set at checkout), with all doses included, so titrating up costs nothing extra
  • Available in all 50 states, so access never blocks the sign-up
  • Offers a real FDA-approved brand path (Ozempic) alongside the compounded track, which most compounded-only programs cannot
  • Adjacent HRT and menopause care for patients who want more than a GLP-1 alone

The caveats

  • No month-to-month price is published: the $129 and $179 from-prices don't say which plan length unlocks them, and Gala's FAQ starts plans at $199/mo on a three-month plan
  • The $149 'microdose' tier is sub-therapeutic — a longevity protocol, not a cheaper weight-loss dose
  • GLP-1 is compounded, not FDA-approved — the standard verification caveat applies
  • Brand Ozempic runs $1,299/mo, and the dispensing pharmacy is never named — vet it yourself
  • No refund when you cancel unless a provider medically disqualifies you, and cancellation needs 72 hours' notice before billing
