Desk Score
Calibrate Health is a year-long metabolic-reset program pairing branded GLP-1 medication (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Foundayo) with 1:1 video coaching and dietitian support — a deeper clinical wrap than…
Marked down on: Medication cost is on top of the $199/month fee; cash-pay patients face full manufacturer pricing
Desk Score
Pallas Health names all six of the pharmacies that dispense for it and two prescribing clinicians whose NPIs verify in the federal registry — then sells every GLP-1 on a single twelve-week prepay, so the advertised “/mo average” is one $597 or $897 charge divided by three.
Marked down on: There is no month-to-month rung for either compounded molecule — the funnel renders no cadence selector — so the advertised “$199/mo average” is a single $597 charge every twelve weeks divided by three
Pallas Health takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 87/100 (B+) against 68/100 (C) for Calibrate Health. Calibrate Health still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
