Head-to-head dispatch
Strut Health vs WeightCare
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
The same molecule as a lozenge or an injection at the same price — the only place on this board where the needle is genuinely optional.
Desk Score
WeightCare offers compounded semaglutide ($249–$399/mo) and tirzepatide ($349/mo) dispensed by FDA-registered, PCAB-accredited pharmacies.
Strut Health takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 88/100 (B+) against 70/100 (C) for WeightCare. WeightCare still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
