Gala Health
71/100Where the value is
- $179/mo on a yearly subscription, with every dose included, so the price does not climb as you titrate — dose escalation is where most flat-looking programs quietly get expensive
- The price list is PUBLIC and un-gated: the weight tier, the $149 microdosing tier and the brand tier are all printed before any quiz, intake or email capture
- Both compounded molecules — semaglutide and tirzepatide — prescribable on one account
The tradeoffs
- No month-to-month price exists anywhere on the site. "FROM $179/month" sits directly above "All doses included. Yearly subscription.", and the cheapest alternative the FAQ names is "$199 per month (with a 3-month plan)" — three months is the shortest published commitment there is
- $179/mo is $2,148 committed for the year, and that total is printed nowhere: the site quotes a monthly figure for a purchase it only sells annually, which is the single hardest cost in this ranking to compare against a rate you can cancel next month
Ozari Health
73/100Where the value is
- Very low entry pricing — compounded semaglutide from $86/month
- LegitScript certified and operated by a named entity (Ozari LLC)
- Board-certified physicians; meds compounded in 503A and 503B facilities
The tradeoffs
- The advertised rates are three-month starter plans for first-time GLP-1 users, billed $257 and $375 up front; month-to-month is $175 and $235
- Canceling an annual or semi-annual plan early re-prices the installments already shipped at the standard monthly rate and charges the difference
