Head-to-head comparison
LeanDose vs Mint Med
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
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.
$159/mo (first month only) sema · $279/mo (first month only) tirz · Verified June 2026
Marked down on: Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
Desk Score
Mint Med is a national, no-membership compounded-GLP-1 telehealth platform offering semaglutide and tirzepatide on a flat "all doses" price — avoiding the per-tier escalation common as patients titrate up.
$159/mo sema · $159/mo tirz · Verified July 2026
Marked down on: Easily confused with Mint Medical Clinic (a separate Utah-only med spa)
