Pros & Cons Compared

MyStart Health

Pros

+Price Lock Guarantee ensures your monthly rate never increases even as your GLP-1 dose escalates, a genuine differentiator
+Competitive pricing at $149-$179/mo for compounded semaglutide with free shipping included
+Access to 600+ board-certified doctors with unlimited clinician messaging at no additional cost
+HSA/FSA eligible, can use pre-tax health savings to pay for treatment

Cons

−Cash-pay only, no insurance accepted. If your plan covers GLP-1s, price that route first; HSA/FSA cards do work here
−Select states only, not all 50, and the exact list isn't published. Confirm your state during the intake quiz before paying
−Compounded medications only, no brand-name GLP-1 option on the menu

Sprout Health

Pros

+Published average weight loss outcomes: 12-15% body weight at 6 months across their patient base
+Dedicated care coordinator assigned to each patient, not a rotating pool of providers
+Transparent pricing: $250/mo covers medication, shipping, and all consultations
+Operating since 2022 with a consistent track record, no sudden pricing changes or service disruptions

Cons

−$250/mo all-in sits in the upper-mid range, $90 more than Willow for a similar model; the premium pays for the dedicated coordinator and published outcomes
−No insurance accepted, and no superbill provided for FSA/HSA reimbursement
