Pricing sources checked: Sprout Health: October 2026 · HealthRX: October 2026

Grade B · #6

Sprout Health

A LegitScript-certified, quiz-first desk selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide vials, with the visit and shipping folded into the price.

Grade B · #8

HealthRX

Both compounded injections with the full plan table published on-site — though the headline $99 and $179 rates are 12-month prepay floors, not what a month-to-month patient pays.

The 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 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

HealthRX

What we like

  • Physician-supervised intake with licensed prescribers
  • Carries both molecules, shipped overnight from a 503A compounding pharmacy with no signature needed
  • 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
  • Unshipped doses refunded when you cancel, 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
  • Compounded injections only — no brand-name pen and no oral tablet
  • You pay at checkout before the medical intake, and cancellation is by email to the support team
