Head-to-head comparison
Measured vs PreventiveMD
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
Measured is a metabolic-health membership pairing GLP-1 treatment with 1:1 nutrition support and board-certified provider care.
$119/mo sema · $219/mo tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The headline $79 'GLP-1 Microdose' is a promotional rate off a $99 list price, is filed by the provider under longevity rather than weight loss, and is not a labeled therapeutic dose of either molecule
FDAWarning letter issued to Better Health Labs, Inc. dba Measured in February 2026. See the FDA warning-letter database.
Desk Score
PreventiveMD is a physician-guided telehealth platform for GLP-1 weight loss and peptide therapy, offering compounded semaglutide from $83/mo all-in and compounded tirzepatide from $97/mo.
From $83/mo (lowest dose rung) sema · From $97/mo (lowest dose rung) tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: Both figures are 'as low as' rates and the qualifying term is not published anywhere — the checkout is gated, so whether $97 is month-to-month or a multi-month prepay cannot be established before signing up
PreventiveMD takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 78/100 (C+) against 68/100 (C) for Measured. Measured still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
