GrowPro vs Tessic Health: Platform Launch or Full Brand Build?
Disclosure: GrowPro wrote this page. GrowPro is the telehealth launch consultancy arm of Kickstart Social. Everything said about Tessic Health comes from their own websites, linked under Sources, and we quote them wherever we can. If anything has changed, email hello@kickstartsocial.co and we will correct it.
Tessic Health and GrowPro both launch telehealth brands on a platform the provider owns. The difference is everything in front of the platform. Tessic says it "leaves the brand and marketing with the client," while GrowPro builds the brand, website, LegitScript filing and launch with you, and Kickstart Social can market it. For the platform side, see our WellieMD vs Tessic Health comparison.
Why the platform matters most
The platform is the most complex piece of a telehealth launch. Intake, provider review, pharmacy routing, subscriptions, refills and payments all run through it, and it is the part your patients touch every month. When your launch partner owns the platform, the people who built your brand can also fix, change and extend the system it runs on, with no separate platform company between you and the team doing the work. When the platform is rented from a third party, your launch partner can recommend and configure it, but changes, pricing and support run through another company's contract.
GrowPro builds on WellieMD, which Kickstart Social owns. Like every telehealth platform, WellieMD works with outside partners for clinical care and fulfillment: providers through Beluga Health and licensed partner pharmacies, all listed openly on welliemd.com. What we own is the platform, and the team that does the work.
Who actually controls your launch
Seven questions decide who you can hold accountable after launch. GrowPro's answers are ours. Every other answer is quoted or summarized from that company's own website, and where their site is silent, we say so.
| GrowPro | Tessic Health | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the telehealth platform your brand runs on? | WellieMD, our own platform, owned by Kickstart Social. No third-party platform layer. | Its own platform; its terms say the software and infrastructure "remain our property"source |
| Who builds your website, and who owns it if you leave? | Our in-house web team builds it on your own hosting account. You keep it if you leave. | They build the storefront, intake and portal on your domain from "Logo files, brand colors, and photos" you supplysource |
| Who files LegitScript, and whose name is on it? | Filed through our LegitScript Enterprise account and issued to your company. | They prepare, file and manage the application; whose name it is issued in is not statedsource |
| Whose team does the design, build and QA? | Our own in-house design, web and QA teams. | They build the storefront; brand identity (logo, colors, photos) comes from yousource |
| Who runs your ads and creative after launch? | Your choice: your own team, or Kickstart Social's in-house ad team, sold separately. | "Leaves the brand and marketing with the client"; you bring "Launch ads and landing pages"source |
| Do they earn a percentage of your revenue or exit? | No. 0% of revenue, profit or exit. | "No revenue share"; a flat monthly plan plus "$25 flat per completed consult"source |
| Who decides which platform or pharmacy you are routed to? | WellieMD routes by medication and state. Clinical care through Beluga Health; prescriptions filled by licensed partner pharmacies listed on welliemd.com. | Routed through their platform at "0% medication markup"; pharmacies are not named on their sitesource |
"Not disclosed on their site" means we could not find it on that company's website on October 21, 2026. It may be in their contract, so ask.

Where Tessic Health is strong
- Tessic owns its platform, so there is no third-party software layer between you and the team running it.
- Full pricing is published on its own site, with no revenue share, "0% medication markup" and month-to-month terms after setup.
- A fast stated go-live: four business days from signed agreement to a live clinic is typical, per its onboarding page.
- Your merchant account is in your company's name, and its terms commit to a data export if you leave.
Where GrowPro is different
Who builds the brand
Tessic says it "leaves the brand and marketing with the client." Its onboarding asks you to supply logo files, brand colors and photos, and to bring your own launch ads and landing pages. GrowPro builds the brand identity and website with you, and Kickstart Social can run the marketing, so one team covers the build, the platform and growth.
Which date the timeline measures
Tessic's four business days is a live clinic on its platform, and it notes ads start once LegitScript clears. GrowPro quotes 8 to 12 weeks because your brand, website and certification are built in that window. Ask any team which finish line their number measures.
How you pay
Tessic publishes a setup fee, a monthly platform fee and a flat fee per completed consult, with no revenue share. GrowPro is one build price plus platform subscriptions, also with no revenue share. Neither takes a cut of your revenue, so compare what each price includes.
Owner-operator vs platform reseller: why it matters
There are two ways to sell a telehealth launch. An owner-operator owns the platform your brand runs on and employs the people who design, build and run it. A platform reseller sells a launch built on another company's platform and coordinates the partners who do parts of the work. Both models can work, and both rely on licensed pharmacies and provider groups somewhere, including ours. The difference is who you can hold accountable when something breaks, and who controls the system your patients use every day.
Ask any launch provider, including us:
- Who is my contract with? GrowPro: Kickstart Social, the same company that owns WellieMD.
- Who can change my pricing? GrowPro: your platform subscription is listed on your proposal, and you set your own patient pricing.
- What happens to my patients if you switch platforms? GrowPro: we do not switch you. WellieMD is ours, and your website and merchant account stay in your name either way.
- Do you get paid by the platform you recommend? GrowPro: yes, and we say so. WellieMD is ours, and you pay its subscription directly. We take nothing from your revenue, profit or exit.
Questions to ask any launch program, including us
| Ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| LegitScript filed vs. actually approved | Everyone files. Ask how many of their brands were approved. GrowPro: 100% of ours, to date.* |
| Your site still exists if you leave | Ask whether the website lives on your hosting or theirs. A GrowPro site sits on your own hosting account, and you hold the files. |
| No checkout routed through a parent domain | Check the address bar on their live client brands. GrowPro checkouts run on your domain and your merchant account. |
| Whose name is on the certification | GrowPro files through our LegitScript Enterprise account, and the certification is issued to your company. |
*LegitScript approval reflects our track record to date and is not a guarantee of approval. LegitScript sets its own review standards and timeline.
