Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Alan Meds
Double-digit semaglutide ($99) and a $145 tirzepatide, both nationwide, with an oral route for the needle-shy.
Why it's a deal
- $99 flat semaglutide and a low $145 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states
- Offers an oral/sublingual route
The fine print
- Not LegitScript-certified — do your own pharmacy diligence
- Newer operator with a thin public track record
Care Bare Rx
Broad formulary including oral tirzepatide and brand Ozempic, but you cannot price a dose without entering the intake.
Why it's a deal
- Oral tirzepatide as well as injectable — rare on this board
- Brand Ozempic (from $705/mo) and oral Rybelsus beside the compounded line
- LegitScript certified and HIPAA compliant
The fine print
- The "from $199/mo" is shared across all weight-loss treatments — neither molecule is priced on its own
- Per-dose pricing is quiz-gated, so a titrated cost cannot be modelled beforehand
- No named clinicians, founding year or parent company disclosed
