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
NowPatient
NowPatient is a US-UK telehealth platform offering brand-name GLP-1 weight management access including Mounjaro, Wegovy (injection and oral tablet), and Saxenda.
Why it's a deal
- Free telehealth consultation — you only pay for the medication
- Brand-name Mounjaro, Wegovy injection, Wegovy oral tablet, and Saxenda all available
- One of the few platforms offering Wegovy in both injection and oral pill form
- No compounded options — every drug is FDA-approved brand-name
The fine print
- Cash-pay pricing tracks full brand list price (~$1,000–$1,350/mo)
- No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide (usually the cheaper route)
- State availability determined during intake, not shown upfront
- Does not offer Foundayo (orforglipron)
