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
Rex MD
Rex MD is a US-based men's-health telehealth platform (a LifeMD brand) offering a 100 percent online GLP-1 weight-management program.
Why it's a deal
- Flat $199/mo program bundles consult, medication and overnight shipping
- Brand-name semaglutide and Zepbound vials, not just compounded
- Serves all 50 states, fully online
- LegitScript certified with US-based, state-licensed providers
- Backed by parent company LifeMD
The fine print
- Does not accept insurance
- Marketed primarily to men via a men's-health platform
- Zepbound vial cost rises with dose titration
- Branded-only program costs more than compounded options
