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
Genesis Health
Genesis Health is a telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections alongside brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound.
Why it's a deal
- Annual plan as low as $99/mo for semaglutide or $125/mo for tirzepatide
- Offers both compounded and brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound) in one platform
- Includes health coaching, active community, and free expedited shipping on every plan
- LegitScript certified; medications sourced from audited, licensed US compounding pharmacies
- Same-day provider visits, personalized dosing, and 24/7 care team messaging
The fine print
- States served not publicly listed; telehealth coverage unconfirmed for all states
- Monthly starting price ($175 sema / $235 tirz) is mid-market without annual commitment
- Labs not disclosed or included in any published plan tier
- Brand-name GLP-1 pricing not published; insurance or coupon required
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
