Head-to-head dispatch
Aurelius Health Group vs Sunlight
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
Aurelius Health Group is a telehealth platform built around compounded tirzepatide microdosing — a low-dose dual GIP/GLP-1 protocol rather than standard full-dose therapy.
$199/mo (microdose tier, compounded) tirz · Verified August 1, 2026
Marked down on: The advertised $89 is a first-month new-patient rate; every month after it is $199
Desk Score
A LegitScript-certified compounded GLP-1 telehealth brand with flat, openly published pricing — semaglutide from $88/mo, tirzepatide from $157/mo — plus a separate peptide-therapy program (NAD+, and per the live site, sermorelin) under its own intake.
Starts at $88/mo (compounded, injection) sema · Starts at $157/mo (compounded, injection) tirz · Verified August 4, 2026
Marked down on: Injectable only for GLP-1 — no oral tablet route on semaglutide or tirzepatide, despite a generic "Injections and oral options available" line in one landing page's hero that matches nothing else on the site
Sunlight takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 84/100 (B) against 58/100 (C) for Aurelius Health Group. Aurelius Health Group still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
