Higher Rated

Hume Care

#35 of 36

3.8/10

Hume Care is a prescribing-access program operated by Hume Health Care LLC, distinct from Hume’s device-only products. Its GLP-1Rx page advertises $199 monthly with medication if prescribed and care. The terms identify an independent clinical network and link to MDIntegrations. Specific pharmacy, dose-level prices and consistent clinical-leadership details remain unverified.

Luvo Health

#36 of 36

2.4/10

Luvo Health offers compounded semaglutide injections and tablets, compounded tirzepatide injections, and brand-name Ozempic and Zepbound. Its four-week plans start at $249 for semaglutide injections, $279 for tablets and $339 for tirzepatide injections. Longer prepaid plans have separate totals. Compounded medication is not FDA-approved; the tablets are not established equivalents of FDA-approved oral semaglutide.

Pros & Cons Compared

Hume Care

Pros

+Published $199 monthly GLP-1Rx offer with care and medication if prescribed
+Connected app for logging and program support
+Independent clinical network and legal entity identified in terms

Cons

−No verified dispensing pharmacy in the sources reviewed
−Oral formulation and dose-specific prices are not sufficiently clear to compare
−Clinical-leadership details differ across public pages
−Independent treatment outcomes and customer-review totals have not been established

Luvo Health

Pros

+Publishes a price on every medication page and a full 4-week grid on /pricing, with no intake required to see either
+Three compounded formats including oral semaglutide tablets, plus a dedicated microdosing line with its own products
+Published cancellation and refund terms explain the notice period and limits on prepaid-plan refunds
+Names its four compounding pharmacies in the terms, with street addresses and phone numbers, and displays a LegitScript approval seal in the site footer
+Will transfer your prescription to any licensed pharmacy you choose, in writing, and coordinates it for you. Most compounded programs we track lock you to their own pharmacy

Cons

−Brand pricing is the highest we track: on its pricing page Ozempic is $1,299 and Zepbound $1,399 per 4-week cycle, against NovoCare self-pay at $349, and neither brand qualifies for the longer-plan discounts the compounded products get
−Prices are headlined per week and billed per 4-week cycle, so a 4-week charge lands 13 times a year rather than 12; the 12, 24 and 52-week plans are priced as one total instead, so compare totals rather than weekly rates
−The cheapest weekly rates need a full year paid as one total: on its pricing page semaglutide injection is $45 a week only as a $2,327 52-week plan, and tirzepatide $67 a week only as a $3,497 52-week plan
−No medical director and no individual prescribing clinician is named; the terms name OpenLoop Healthcare Partners as a clinical partner, but not the clinician who would review your file
−Four compounding pharmacies are named in the terms, but which one fills your prescription is disclosed only in your order confirmation, so you cannot pick the pharmacy before you buy
−Luvo Health, Inc. is named in the terms, but no street address or phone number is shown on the site's contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), and support is email only
−Refunds close earlier than cancel any time suggests: cancellation needs 72 hours notice before the billing date, and once the prescription reaches the pharmacy no refund is available, which for a new patient with no video visit is the moment the intake is submitted

Our Verdict

Hume Care edges out Luvo Health with a score of 3.8/10 vs 2.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Hume Care is from $199/mo; Luvo Health is from $249/4 weeks. Luvo Health offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Across all 36 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
