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
Harbor
Harbor is a physician-led telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide (from $99/mo) and compounded tirzepatide (from $149/mo) — among the lowest headline prices in the market.
Why it's a deal
- Compounded semaglutide from $99/mo and tirzepatide from $149/mo — among the lowest headline prices in the market
- LegitScript certified with 4.7-star rating, 94.6% success rate, and 10,000+ verified members
- 24/7 physician access with ongoing consultations, dosage adjustments, and free discreet shipping

The fine print
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; compounding pharmacy names not publicly disclosed
- Dietitian support offered only post-program (maintenance phase), not during active treatment
- State-specific consultation types vary; nationwide availability unconfirmed for all states
- No labs disclosed; patient portal is a third-party platform (mdintegrations), not native
- Newer brand; success rate and member counts are on-site claims, not third-party verified
