Head-to-head comparison
Clinic Secret vs Renlo 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
Clinic Secret (clinicsecret.com), launched late 2025, is a functioning US GLP-1 telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss, plus a pentadeca arginate peptide.
From $196/mo (lowest dose rung) sema · $196/mo tirz · Verified June 2026
Marked down on: Newly launched (late 2025); limited independent track record
Desk Score
One of the few programs whose headline is the actual monthly rate, with the prescribing physician and the dispensing pharmacy both named.
$199/mo (see conditions) sema · $269/mo (see conditions) tirz · Verified September 2026
Marked down on: A struck-through $399 sits beside the price with no published basis — Renlo never says what it was, when it applied or to whom.
Renlo Health takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 80/100 (B−) against 63/100 (C) for Clinic Secret. Clinic Secret still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
