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
Ro
A heavyweight platform with brand-name access — but it won't show a compounded price until you're in the funnel.
Why it's a deal
- Brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) access and insurance support
- Oral options
- Polished, well-funded platform
The fine print
- Does not publish compounded pricing up front — no way to compare the deal
- Premium positioning
