Ondra Health vs Sprout 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.
Ondra Health

Visit Ondra HealthSprout Health
Price-first shoppers who want a fast, low-friction signup (often no labs or visit) at a verified pharmacy and don't need a named medical director.
Visit Sprout HealthThe verdict
Ondra Health takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 90 to 85. A rare combination — near-rock-bottom pricing on both molecules, all-50 access, brand-name availability, and a LegitScript-verified pharmacy behind it. Sprout Health still earns a B — Price-first shoppers who want a fast, low-friction signup (often no labs or visit) at a verified pharmacy and don't need a named medical director.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the board). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs Ondra Health.

Ondra Health
90/100Where the value is
- Among the lowest disclosed prices on the board — $93 semaglutide and $166 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states with both molecules published for clean cost modeling
- LegitScript-certified, and offers FDA-approved brand-name access alongside compounded
The tradeoffs
- A newer, lower-profile operator without CoreAge's long flat-price track record
- No oral/sublingual route
Sprout Health
85/100Where the value is
- Well-priced compounded — $149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide — with LegitScript certification behind it
- Low-friction intake: no labs and often no synchronous visit required
- Offers a brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound path alongside the compounded 503A route
The tradeoffs
- No named medical director published, so clinical oversight is harder to attribute
- Availability is quiz-gated by state, so nationwide access isn't guaranteed until you qualify
