Calibrate

#16 of 54
7.7/10

Metabolic health company offering a physician-led program restructured in 2026: a $199/mo program fee with a 3-month minimum commitment (no more $1,649 one-time enrollment fee), plus separately billed medication. The program includes nutrition coaching, labs, a smart scale, and a 10%+ weight-loss guarantee with 50% money-back.

TrimRx

#47 of 54
5.3/10

Cash-pay compounded GLP-1 provider offering semaglutide and a dual-agonist option it labels 'GLP-1 + GIP.' Its landing advertises a $179 floor, while its terms list semaglutide at $199 for the first order and $299 for follow-ups, and GLP-1 + GIP at $349 then $399. That conflict, plus a corroborated billing and fulfillment complaint pattern, is central to our 5.3/10 score.

Pros & Cons Compared

Calibrate

Pros

  • +2026 pricing rewrite, $199/mo program fee with a 3-month commitment ($597 upfront), then month-to-month; the old $1,649 one-time enrollment fee was removed
  • +Board-certified physicians with metabolic health specialization lead treatment
  • +10%+ body-weight-loss guarantee with 50% money-back if not met
  • +Includes labs, nutrition coaching, personalized smart scale, and sleep/exercise support

Cons

  • $597 upfront (3-month commitment) is a meaningful barrier vs. month-to-month competitors
  • Medication cost is separate and varies significantly by payer route
  • Fewer medications in the menu than larger marketplaces like Ro or Found
  • Onboarding still takes 2-3 weeks to complete baseline labs and treatment plan

TrimRx

Pros

  • +Offers both compounded semaglutide and a compounded GLP-1 + GIP option through one intake
  • +The landing advertises a $179 entry floor, although that figure does not match the medication schedule in the official terms
  • +Onboarding takes under 15 minutes with same-day provider review for most applications
  • +Free medication replacement if your shipment is lost or damaged in transit

Cons

  • The advertised $179 floor conflicts with TrimRx's own terms: semaglutide is listed at $199 for the first order and $299 for follow-ups; GLP-1 + GIP is $349 first and $399 follow-up. Treat the total as unresolved until checkout
  • Trustpilot is 3.6/5 across 5,485 reviews with 32% one-star; BBB rates TrimRx F/not accredited with 728 unanswered and 221 unresolved complaints
  • The same paid-but-no-medication, billing, refund and fulfillment themes recur across BBB and Trustpilot, meeting our rubric's cross-platform -3.0 fulfillment-failure threshold
  • Compounded only, no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved finished products.
  • No insurance billing and no superbill for out-of-network reimbursement, so treat the monthly price as a pure cash-pay number

Our Verdict

Calibrate edges out TrimRx with a score of 7.7/10 vs 5.3/10.
