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
eMI Aesthetics
eMI Aesthetics is a US direct-to-consumer telehealth brand offering doctor-guided GLP-1 weight loss programs to eligible patients in all 50 states.
Why it's a deal
- Available to eligible patients in all 50 states
- Offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus an oral semaglutide option
- Intake and provider visits run through OpenLoop Health, an established telehealth network
The fine print
- Full per-drug pricing is not shown before intake; only an 'as low as 179/month' starting rate is published
- No fill pharmacy or named medical director is publicly listed
- Support appears limited to email, with no phone number or hours published
