Quick verdict
Henry Meds is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Henry built the cash-pay compounded GLP-1 category and still runs the cleanest version of it. Flat monthly pricing, no labs theater, true month-to-month. Pivoted hard after the FDA shortage delisting and now leans on personalization-claim 503A pharmacies.
That said, Calibrate wins on specific dimensions. Calibrate is a coaching and insurance-navigation program whose value proposition has weakened as direct-to-consumer pricing from Lilly and Novo undercut the 'we'll handle insurance for you' pitch. Cut its fee from $299 to $199 in 2026.
