Marked down on: States served not listed — can't confirm coverage in your state without contacting support
Desk Score
A women's desk that pairs a genuine brand-name Ozempic path with low compounded pricing in all 50 states — every rate of which is a yearly subscription.
Marked down on: No month-to-month price is published anywhere — the $179/mo headline sits directly above “All doses included. Yearly subscription.”, the $149 microdose tier carries the same term, and the FAQ quotes a third figure at “$199 per month (with a 3-month plan)”
Gala Health takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 82/100 (B−) against 65/100 (C) for Ark Health. Ark Health still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
