Head to head
Karpa vs Rimo vs Cuvo: the self-serve triangle
Karpa, Rimo, and Cuvo are the self-serve triangle: newer white-label platforms that put a storefront under your brand fast, with you as the operator. The real difference between them is pricing architecture and transparency. Karpa publishes subscription tiers (the software fee, with visits and medication on top). Rimo positions on a flat fee with no revenue share and no medication markup, though it does not publish the fee itself as of September 2026. Cuvo publishes both a per-consult fee and a monthly platform fee. On all three, the medication economics and the daily operating work (support, retention, compliance posture) sit on your side of the ledger, which is the line that separates this whole lane from operated platforms.
What each one actually is.
Self-serve white-label software for peptide and GLP-1 programs with a partner provider network and published subscription tiers on its site.
You want tiered SaaS with a program focus that matches a fitness or longevity audience, and you are ready to assemble the visit and medication economics on top of the software fee.
Karpa Health alternatives & pricingFlat-fee white-label telehealth for DTC founders, publicly positioned on no revenue share and no medication markup, with the fee itself quoted rather than published as of September 2026.
Pass-through legibility is your priority: you want the fee model stated plainly, and you plan to operate the business and verify the per-fill economics yourself.
Rimo Health alternatives & pricingWhite-label infrastructure with its pricing listed openly: a flat per-consult fee plus a monthly platform fee, with current numbers on its own pricing page.
You want rails you can price and trial without a sales cycle, and the consult-plus-platform architecture fits your program's visit patterns.

The pricing reality.
Karpa Health
Karpa lists self-serve subscription tiers on its own site (one of the few vendors in the category that does; verify current tiers there, since vendor list prices change). The structural point to model: the subscription is the software; clinical visits and medication costs sit on top, so your per-patient economics depend mostly on what sits behind the software fee.
Rimo Health
Rimo publicly positions on a flat platform fee with no revenue share and no medication markup (verify current terms on its site; as of September 2026 it does not publish the fee itself). The structural point to model: pass-through economics still leave you operating the business (support, retention, compliance posture, growth), and those costs land on your side of the ledger.
Cuvo Health
Cuvo lists its pricing openly on its site: a flat per-consult fee plus a monthly platform fee (check its pricing page for the current numbers; they change). That covers the rails and visits; medication economics and the operating work of the clinic sit on top, so model the all-in per-patient number, not the consult fee.
EmbedCare prices the operated stack as flat product rates fixed in your partner agreement, with medication included on GLP-1 programs and a self-serve Launch tier starting at $495/mo.
What all three leave you assembling.
- You are the operator on all three: support, retention, and the compliance posture stay in-house, which is the real cost line the software fee does not show.
- Medication economics sit outside the platform fee on all three; for a recurring-Rx program, get the per-fill picture in writing before comparing any of them against all-in operated rates.
- All three are newer, content-heavy entrants: research surfaces mostly their own writing and competitor comparisons (this page included), so references and contract reads carry the diligence.
One operated stack instead of an assembly.
EmbedCare runs the layers this comparison keeps splitting apart: the white-label storefront and funnel, the 50-state clinician network, owned pharmacy supply with medication included on GLP-1 programs, retention, and compliance, behind your brand on flat product rates fixed in writing.
Karpa Health vs Rimo Health vs Cuvo Health: what operators ask
Karpa vs Rimo vs Cuvo: which is best?
Best at what each optimizes: Karpa for tiered self-serve software with a peptide and GLP-1 program focus, Rimo for flat-fee positioning with no revenue share or medication markup, Cuvo for openly published per-consult and monthly pricing you can model without a call. All three make you the operator, so the bigger question is whether the self-serve lane fits your team at all.
Do Karpa, Rimo, and Cuvo publish their pricing?
Two of three publish numbers as of September 2026: Karpa lists subscription tiers and Cuvo lists per-consult plus monthly platform pricing on their own sites. Rimo publishes its fee MODEL (flat fee, no revenue share, no medication markup) but not the fee amount. On all three, visits and medication sit outside the headline number, so model the all-in per-patient cost.
Can I run a GLP-1 program on Karpa, Rimo, or Cuvo?
All three court GLP-1 and wellness programs at the software and visit layer. The deciding questions live outside the platform fee: the medication supply posture (branded or compounded, on what documented legal basis), the per-fill economics, and who operates support and retention. Those answers, in writing, matter more than the tier you pick.
What do self-serve telehealth platforms leave out?
The operating: patient support, retention machinery, the compliance posture, and the medication economics all stay on your side across this lane. The software fee is the visible line of a budget whose bigger lines are visits, fills, and your team's time; our pricing-models guide covers how to compare the architectures honestly.
What is the alternative to the self-serve platforms?
The operated lane: platforms that run the clinic behind your brand rather than selling you the tools, with EmbedCare's structural difference being owned pharmacy supply and flat product rates that include medication on GLP-1 programs. End-to-end networks like Beluga Health and program vendors like CareValidate sit in the same buy-the-outcome category.
