Head-to-head dispatch
Pallas Health vs Rex MD
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
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.
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
Desk Score
Rex MD is a US-based men's-health telehealth platform (a LifeMD brand) offering a 100 percent online GLP-1 weight-management program.
Marked down on: Does not accept insurance
Pallas Health takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 87/100 (B+) against 70/100 (C) for Rex MD. Rex MD still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
