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
PlexusDx
PlexusDx (plexusdx.com) is a US GLP-1 telehealth platform offering compounded weight-loss medications with licensed providers in all 50 states.
Why it's a deal
- Licensed providers available in all 50 states
- Range of options including low-cost microdose GLP-1 from $129/mo
- Optional Precision Peptide genetic panel adds a personalization angle
- Independent clinician review via state-licensed telehealth platform
- Compounded medications from state-licensed pharmacies
The fine print
- Compounded medications only; no FDA-approved brand options
- Specific compounding pharmacies not named
- Genetic-panel upsell may not add clinical value for everyone
- Tirzepatide pricing from $249/mo is higher than budget rivals
- No insurance accepted
