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
FormidableMD
FormidableMD is a physician-led, cash-pay telehealth practice based in Florida offering GLP-1 weight-loss treatment — semaglutide and tirzepatide in both FDA-approved and compounded forms, plus oral options…
Why it's a deal
- Transparent, published dose-by-dose pricing for semaglutide ($169-$269/mo) and tirzepatide ($199-$319/mo) with no membership or commitment
- Offers both FDA-approved and compounded GLP-1s (plus oral options) from 503A pharmacies, with a real provider at every visit
- Boutique physician-led model bundling labs, peptides, HRT/TRT and urgent care; FSA/HSA eligible
The fine print
- Florida-focused telehealth — availability outside FL is not advertised, so out-of-state access is uncertain
- Medication cost is on top of a $199 initial consultation and $99 follow-up visits (pay-per-visit, not an all-in monthly price)
- The 503A compounding pharmacy partner is not named on the site
