Head-to-head comparison
Gimme Care 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
Gimme Care offers compounded semaglutide ($130–$160/mo) and compounded tirzepatide ($163–$199/mo) including microdose options.
$130/mo sema · $163/mo tirz · Verified July 2026
Marked down on: Five states require video/audio visits (KS, LA, MS, NM, WV)
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
Gimme Care and KERNX Health land level on the Desk Score at 81/100 — too close to call. The right choice comes down to which trade-offs fit your situation.
