Head-to-head comparison
Belle Health vs KERNX 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
Belle Health is a national DTC telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with flat-rate pricing — the same monthly cost at every dose, with no escalation surcharge as you titrate up.
$119/mo sema · $199/mo (3-month prepay) tirz · Verified July 2026
Marked down on: $199 tirzepatide price requires a 3-month bundle commitment
FDAWarning letter issued to Belle Health LLC dba Belle in February 2026. See the FDA warning-letter database.
Desk Score
A nationwide cash-pay program that answers the two questions this desk asks first — what does my dose cost, and who is prescribing it — and declines to answer a third, which pharmacy fills it.
$129/mo (see conditions) sema · $229/mo (see conditions) tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The dispensing pharmacy is disclosed only in post-purchase paperwork, so no 503A or 503B status can be checked in advance
KERNX Health takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 81/100 (B−) against 80/100 (B−) for Belle Health. Belle Health still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
