Pomegranate Health
54/100Where the value is
- No membership and no consultation fee — the site states 'No Membership required' and 'Transparent pricing, no hidden fees'
- The semaglutide price sits in the product page's own static HTML, so it can be read before any intake
- Shipping is included: 'shipped discreetly to your door at no extra cost'
The tradeoffs
- The tirzepatide price is not on the public site at all — it exists only inside the in-app pricing portal, and there is no standalone tirzepatide product page to read it from
- Both published figures are floors, a 'Starts @' and a Starter tier, and no price is published for the dose you titrate up to
Vea Health
54/100Where the value is
- Verified LegitScript certification with a working checker link (seal ID 48955268)
- Offers a genuine microdosing tier for both semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside the standard dose
- Repeats the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer on every page, and states 'Provider approval required. Not all patients qualify' rather than implying automatic approval
The tradeoffs
- Zero pricing is published anywhere on the public site — the entire catalog is gated behind the intake quiz
- No compounding pharmacy is named anywhere; the site only says 'domestic, pharmacy-grade suppliers' and 'FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facilities'
