Green Cap Health vs StackMD
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
Green Cap Health is a Texas-only telehealth practice with a vertically integrated model: it is both the prescribing clinical practice and the in-house compounding pharmacy.
Marked down on: The advertised $2.63-a-day and $79 first-month figures do not correspond to any purchasable plan; the cheapest real rates are $129/mo semaglutide and $199/mo tirzepatide, both on six-month commitments, and month-to-month is $179 and $279

StackMD is a New York telehealth platform (Medical 360 HC PLLC) selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, both formulated with B12 and glycine, alongside NAD+, sermorelin and other longevity peptides.
Marked down on: All sales are final — 'No refunds are issued except as described below', and dispensed medication cannot be returned
