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
Roen Rx
Roen Rx offers compounded semaglutide as well as brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro with insurance coordination.
Why it's a deal
- Insurance coordination for brand-name GLP-1s — as low as $25/mo
- Both compounded and brand-name options
- LegitScript approved with Compounded USA badge
- Compounded semaglutide from $151/mo quarterly
- Also offers primary care, mental health, and other specialties
The fine print
- State availability not publicly disclosed
- Insurance coordination may not work for all plans
- Broader platform (ED, hair loss, skincare, birth control)
- Requires a separate membership (first month $39); GLP-1 medications are NOT included in the membership fee - medication is billed on top
