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
MadeMed
Not the cheapest, but the most honest about what a titrated dose actually costs.
Why it's a deal
- One flat price at every dose, published dose by dose — semaglutide 0.25–2.4mg, tirzepatide 2.5–15mg
- LegitScript verified, with board-certified physician review
- Full refund minus a $39 visit fee if you are not prescribed, stated before checkout
- Oral routes for both molecules, free overnight shipping with supplies included
The fine print
- The most expensive tirzepatide here at $399/mo quarterly
- 40 states rather than nationwide
- Ships one vial every two months, a less flexible cadence than a monthly refill
