NP2GO vs Welling Health
Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.
NP2GO
Shoppers inside its 40 served states who want both molecules disclosed and will vet the pharmacy themselves.
Visit NP2GOWelling Health
Patients willing to log meals daily in exchange for a lower effective GLP-1 price.
Visit Welling HealthThe verdict
NP2GO takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 79 to 78. $150 semaglutide and $250 tirzepatide across 40 states — solid regional reach and full price disclosure, but the coverage gap and missing LegitScript verification cap the value. Welling Health still earns a C — Patients willing to log meals daily in exchange for a lower effective GLP-1 price.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the ranking). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs NP2GO.

NP2GO
79/100Where the value is
- Both molecules disclosed — $150 semaglutide / $250 tirzepatide — for straightforward cost modeling
- Broad 40-state footprint — wider than most non-nationwide operators
- Flat, predictable pricing
The tradeoffs
- 40 states, not all 50 — a coverage gamble that dents its access score
- Not LegitScript-certified — oversight harder to verify
Welling Health
78/100Where the value is
- Flat, dose-independent base pricing with no setup or consultation fees disclosed
- Licensed in all 50 states
- Named pharmacy tier (LegitScript-certified 503A, USP <797>) even though the specific pharmacy isn't named
The tradeoffs
- The eye-catching ~30%-off streak price is not the standing rate — it requires 30 unbroken consecutive days of in-app meal logging and resets if a day is missed, so $190/$275 is the realistic price for most patients most of the time
- Tirzepatide's $275 base rate is on the higher end of compounded competitors in this batch
