Round by round
We scored both programs on the four factors in our methodology — value, support, medications and transparency. HealthRx takes 2, Sprout takes 1, with 1 even. Here's how each shook out.
Value
What you get for the price — not just the lowest sticker. A premium program that includes FDA-approved medication, insurance help and real support can be good value. HealthRx scores 9.0 to 7.8 — clearly ahead.
Support
Real clinician access, coaching and follow-up — video visits and a care team score higher than async-only. Sprout scores 7.4 to 7.0 — ahead.
Medications
Medication options and legitimacy — FDA-approved branded (Wegovy, Zepbound) rates above compounded-only, and breadth and flexibility add points. Evenly matched at about 8.4.
Transparency
How clearly and publicly pricing, terms and availability are stated — plus track record and any regulatory red flags. HealthRx scores 8.2 to 7.4 — clearly ahead.
Where they differ most
The clearest daylight is in value, where HealthRx leads 9.0 to 7.8 and transparency, where HealthRx leads 8.2 to 7.4. On price, HealthRx starts lower ($99 vs $149 per month).
Pricing: HealthRx vs Sprout
HealthRx has the lower advertised starting price — $99/mo vs $149/mo for Sprout. But read the fine print: HealthRx is all-in, includes medication and Sprout is all-in, includes medication, and the cheapest rates often need a prepaid multi-month plan — so compare the real all-in cost at your maintenance dose, not the headline. We unpack how these plans are structured in how much compounded semaglutide costs.
HealthRx: On 12-month plan; $133/mo (3-month) to $189/mo month-to-month; same price at every dose (as of 2026, matchglp1.com). Sprout: Intro starting rate; ongoing ~$249/mo (semaglutide) / ~$299/mo (tirzepatide) (as of Sep 2026, health.usnews.com).
