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
Nolu
An all-in, LegitScript-verified GLP-1 line with a simple sticker price — billed every 4 weeks rather than by the calendar month, so the true annual cost runs above what the headline implies.
Why it's a deal
- All-in per-order pricing — consultation, medication and shipping bundled with no separate membership fee
- Both injectable semaglutide and injectable tirzepatide, plus an oral semaglutide route
- LegitScript verified
- Serves all 50 states plus DC
The fine print
- ⚠ Billed "per 4 weeks," not per calendar month — that's 13 charges a year against 12, so the real annualized cost runs roughly 8% above the $249/$339 headline
- No named medical director, prescribers, or compounding pharmacy disclosed anywhere on the site
- Oral semaglutide costs $30/mo more than the injectable route ($279 vs $249)
