Head-to-head comparison
Andrew Meds vs Heros Health
Two GLP-1 providers, one scorecard. Both are graded on the same six Desk Score dimensions — here is how they stack up, and which one fits you.
Desk Score
Andrew Meds prices both molecules openly and says which 44 states can be treated by questionnaire alone — then routes every Get Started button on its semaglutide page to a different, cheaper program.
From $199/mo sema · From $299/mo tirz · Verified September 2026
Marked down on: Every Get Started button on the compounded semaglutide page opens a microdosing program at $99 a month, and that word appears nowhere else on the site.
Desk Score
Heros Health is a direct-to-consumer telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss on a flat program price — $149 the first month.
$199/mo sema · $199/mo tirz · Verified July 2026
