Head-to-head dispatch
Lean Rx vs MyDrHank
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
Lean Rx is a Sacramento-based telehealth technology platform offering compounded GLP-1 weight loss medications.
Marked down on: Compounded-only; no FDA-approved branded options
Desk Score
Every price MyDrHank advertises is the cheapest rung of a four-term ladder — its own code renders the annual-prepay rate as “From $X/mo”, so the month-to-month cost of $349 tirzepatide and $259 semaglutide appears nowhere in the marketing.
Marked down on: Every advertised price is an annual-prepay minimum. The site's own code takes the cheapest rung of a four-term ladder and prints it as “From $X/mo”, so the $240/mo tirzepatide and $171/mo semaglutide it markets are what $2,883 and $2,057 paid up front work out to per month — the month-to-month rates, $349 and $249, are displayed nowhere, and the FAQ still calls the prepay figure a plan with “no contract”
MyDrHank takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 73/100 (C) against 61/100 (C) for Lean Rx. Lean Rx still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
