Head-to-head dispatch
Fella Health vs LeanDose
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.

A men's-health-framed program with low semaglutide entry, but steep tirzepatide pricing and no verification.
Marked down on: Tirzepatide priced near the top of the ranking
Desk Score
LeanDose is a doctor-guided compounded GLP-1 telehealth service for eligible adults, with transparent all-inclusive first-month pricing: compounded semaglutide from $159 and tirzepatide from $279.
Marked down on: Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
