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
Go Vida Plena
Go Vida Plena is a Spanish-first, Latino-focused medical weight-loss program offering GLP-1 therapy from $199/month, based in Utah.
Why it's a deal
- Spanish-first, fully bilingual GLP-1 program tailored to Latino food and lifestyle - a genuinely underserved niche
- Compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and oral semaglutide from $199/mo, with installment pay (Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm)
- Free initial consultation; medications shipped discreetly to your door after a medical evaluation
- Includes 24/7 support, 4 virtual visits a year, and ongoing nutrition coaching
- Physician-supervised program (Utah medical backing) with continuous follow-up
The fine print
- Utah-based, and the full list of states served is not published
- Only a '$199/mo starting' price is shown upfront; tirzepatide and oral-semaglutide pricing isn't published
- The compounding pharmacy is not named (a 'provider pharmacies' page exists but lists no name)
- Compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved - not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- No LegitScript certification displayed
