Luvo Health

#53 of 53

2.4/10

Luvo Health is a multi-service telehealth clinic running weight loss beside microdosing, longevity, skincare, hormone replacement and testosterone. Its GLP-1 line covers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, compounded semaglutide tablets, and brand Ozempic and Zepbound, each with its own page and published price. Pricing is quoted per week and billed in 4-week cycles, which reads cheaper than the monthly figure it works out to, and the brand rates are among the highest we track.

Pros & Cons Compared

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
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy
+Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be
+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: Ozempic $1,299 per 4 weeks ($325/week) and Zepbound $350/week, roughly $1,408/mo against NovoCare self-pay at $349
−Prices are quoted per WEEK and billed per 4-WEEK cycle, so a year is 13 cycles rather than 12 and costs more than the monthly reading suggests
−The cheaper per-week floors ($45 semaglutide, $67 tirzepatide) require longer commitments whose terms and totals are never published
−No medical director, prescribing clinician or medical group is named anywhere
−No compounding pharmacy is named; 'prepared by licensed pharmacies' is as specific as the site gets
−No legal entity is disclosed on the homepage, pricing page or FAQ
−No lab panel is offered or required, and no third-party review profile could be located

Willow

Pros

+Includes monthly provider check-ins and dose adjustments at no extra cost
+Daily oral tablets for BOTH semaglutide and tirzepatide, one of the only platforms with a needle-free route on both molecules
+$299/mo all-in for compounded semaglutide (injectable or tablet) with monthly provider support
+90%+ patient retention rate after 3 months per their published outcomes data

Cons

−Compounded-only, no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound through the platform
−Tirzepatide runs $399/mo against $299 for semaglutide, a $100/mo premium for the dual-pathway molecule
−Cash-pay only, no insurance billing, though they provide superbills for FSA/HSA
−Founded in 2024, less track record than Ro or Hims, though growth has been fast

Our Verdict

Willow edges out Luvo Health with a score of 7.5/10 vs 2.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Luvo Health is from $249/mo; Willow is from $299/mo. 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

Both Luvo Health and Willow start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 53 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.
