Sprout Health vs HealthRX
Two GLP-1 providers, ruled side by side on The Verdict Score — our published six-factor rubric. Same yardstick, and no score is adjusted for payment.

Verdict86/ 100
Grade B · #8HealthRX
One of the few names that actually holds a LegitScript certification you can look up — and it pairs that with a rare oral GLP tablet and a fully published plan table, though the headline $99 and $179 rates are 12-month prepay floors, not what a month-to-month patient pays.
Visit HealthRXThe verdict
Too close to call. Sprout Health and HealthRX 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 but the option of brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound on the same account, with minimal onboarding.
Neither of these is our overall #1. That title goes to CoreAge Rx (94/100) — the most honest middle of the market: nationwide access, both molecules at one flat, no-surprise price.

Sprout Health
What we like
- 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
The caveats
- 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
HealthRX
What we like
- LegitScript-certified (#50087439) — a genuine, checkable trust signal, not a self-claim
- Physician-supervised intake with licensed prescribers
- Carries both molecules plus a rare oral GLP tablet — real route choice
- Full plan table published on-site with a current-as-of date: semaglutide $190/mo month-to-month down to $99/mo on the 12-month plan, tirzepatide $239/mo down to $179/mo — no insurance required
- Cancel online in one click, unshipped doses refunded, 30-day money-back guarantee and a full refund if a provider doesn't approve you
The caveats
- GLP-1 is compounded, not FDA-approved — the standard verification caveat applies
- The advertised $99 and $179 rates require a 12-month prepay — $1,188 and $2,148 up front; month-to-month runs $190 and $239
- Brand Ozempic is pass-through at ~$1,299/mo — the path exists but is priced out of reach for most
