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
PeptidesRx
PeptidesRx is a Fort Worth, TX-based licensed telehealth platform offering physician-supervised compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and a broader prescription peptide menu.
Why it's a deal
- Compliance-focused positioning vs gray-market vendors
- Board-certified medical director
- Transparent pricing with no surprise fees
- Real prescriptions, not research-chemical channel
The fine print
- Smaller scale than Henry Meds or Hims
- Wide peptide menu may distract from GLP-1 focus
