Head-to-head dispatch
LIV by WellNow vs Pallas 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
LIV by WellNow is the telehealth weight-management arm of WellNow Urgent Care, offering compounded semaglutide at $195/month for the average dose — medication, supplies and unlimited virtual visits included — from a named pharmacy.
$195/mo month-to-month (compounded, at the average 1 mg dose); $175/mo paid quarterly · higher doses of 1.7 mg or 2.4 mg are $265/mo, or $249/mo paid quarterly sema · Verified August 29, 2026
Marked down on: The price follows the DOSE: $195/month covers the average 1 mg dose, but 1.7 mg or 2.4 mg costs $265/month, and the headline says "no hidden fees"
Desk Score
Pallas Health names all six of the pharmacies that dispense for it and two prescribing clinicians whose NPIs verify in the federal registry — then sells every GLP-1 on a single twelve-week prepay, so the advertised “/mo average” is one $597 or $897 charge divided by three.
$199/mo average (compounded injectable; $597 billed every 12 weeks after $139 for the first 4 weeks; no month-to-month tier is sold) sema · $299/mo average (compounded injectable; $897 billed every 12 weeks after $179 for the first 4 weeks; no month-to-month tier is sold) tirz · Verified August 7, 2026
Marked down on: There is no month-to-month rung for either compounded molecule — the funnel renders no cadence selector — so the advertised “$199/mo average” is a single $597 charge every twelve weeks divided by three
Pallas Health takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 87/100 (B+) against 71/100 (C) for LIV by WellNow. LIV by WellNow still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
