The verdict

Higher Editors' Rating: Form Health

Form Health edges out Calibrate on the Editors' Rating, 81 to 79 (B− vs C). Mothers who want physician-led, dietitian-supported treatment with real clinical oversight and are comfortable with monthly video visits and a medication cost billed on top of the membership.

Calibrate is still a genuine option — a year-long metabolic program that treats the medication as one lever and intensive human coaching as the other — a disclosed $199/mo membership with a 3-month minimum, a real 20-minute video visit, and insurance doing most of the work on the medication itself. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

Calibrate

Ranked #10 · Grade C

What we like

  • A disclosed $199/mo membership price with a clear 3-month minimum — no guessing what the commitment costs
  • Intensive one-to-one video coaching built around the medication, not bolted on
  • Full-service insurance navigation, with medication typically landing near $25/mo after coverage

The caveats

  • A required 3-month minimum commitment ($597) before you can cancel penalty-free
  • The clinician visit is a scheduled 20-minute video call, not an async intake
  • Brand-name only — no compounded option if insurance doesn't cooperate

Form Health

Ranked #4 · Grade B−

What we like

  • A board-certified physician and a registered dietitian on every case — real oversight, not an intake form
  • Built to bill insurance and prescribe brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound where it's covered
  • A disclosed self-pay membership price ($299/mo) for mothers without qualifying coverage

The caveats

  • Monthly video visits are part of the program — not an async-only intake
  • The $299 self-pay membership is the care-team fee only; medication and labs are billed separately
  • No posted copay or deductible ranges for the insurance path — your real total depends on your plan
