Head-to-head comparison
Luci vs Telos Rx
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
Luci is a budget-focused GLP-1 telehealth platform offering compounded medications with upfront pricing: compounded semaglutide as low as $99/month and compounded tirzepatide as low as $145/month.
$99/mo (promo rate) sema · $145/mo (promo rate) tirz · Verified June 2026
Marked down on: Compounded medications are not FDA-approved for weight loss (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
Desk Score
Four GLP-1 formats compared side by side — injectable semaglutide, injectable tirzepatide, needle-free daily drops and a microdosed tier — with a clinician who picks for you, and not one billing cycle published beside a price.
From $99/mo sema · From $139/mo tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: Everything is compounded and not FDA-approved — including all peptides and the NAD+ spray
Telos Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 78/100 (C+) against 51/100 (C) for Luci. Luci still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
