Quick verdict
Klarity Health is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Klarity offers GLP-1 as one of 100+ conditions handled by their telehealth platform. Less specialized than dedicated GLP-1 programs but works for patients who want one platform for multiple conditions. Per-visit pricing model with brand-name and compounded options.
That said, Shed wins on specific dimensions. Shed offers compounded semaglutide starting at $149/mo on the monthly plan (care and shipping included, no separate membership), escalating by dose. Six and twelve-month plans reduce the per-month cost further. Branded Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo are also available.

When to choose Klarity Health
Best for multi-condition telehealth
Patients who want a multi-condition telehealth platform alongside their GLP-1 prescription. Useful if you also need treatment for ADHD, anxiety, hair loss or other conditions.
Klarity Health wins on cancellation terms, member reviews on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Patients wanting deep obesity-medicine specialization or the cheapest cash-pay path.
When to choose Shed
Best for all-in compounded with care included
Cash-pay patients who want an all-in compounded price with care included at a low entry price, and who are willing to commit to a longer plan for a lower monthly cost.
Shed wins on medication options and runs $29/mo cheaper than Klarity Health at the entry tier ($249 vs $278). Over a year that's $348 you keep. The caveat: Patients who want the cheapest month-to-month compounded price at high doses, or who specifically want branded GLP-1s billed through insurance. Note also: Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved and are made by a licensed pharmacy under a prescription.
If cost is your main filter
Shed is the cheaper monthly: $249 all-in vs $278 for Klarity Health. That's $29 a month or $348a year. The 12-month math matters most if you're planning to maintain on GLP-1 long-term. If you're running a 3-month trial, the $87 delta is small against the cost of stopping early on the wrong dose. Insurance changes the picture: if either program runs prior auth and your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, branded with copay can beat both cash-pay totals.
If lock-in is your main filter
Klarity Health (3-mo minimum) and Shed (prepaid plan) sit at the same cancellation tier. Read both cancellation policies directly before signing; the on-page summary covers the headline but not the deletion-of-account or refund-window edge cases.
