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
RxSpan MD
A broad, physician-led menu — compounded and oral GLP-1 plus an advertised brand-name lane under a named plastic surgeon — with transparent, all-inclusive pricing from ~$194/mo (annual) across all 50 states.
Why it's a deal
- Available in all 50 states
- Transparent, all-inclusive published pricing — consult, medication, supplies, shipping, and support in one price; cancel or change plans anytime, with a low annual entry from ~$194/mo on compounded semaglutide
- Both injectable and a real oral (capsule) route, on compounded sema/tirz plus an advertised brand-name lane
- Physician-led by a named, board-certified founder (Dr. John Diaz, plastic surgeon); 24/7 unlimited messaging and coaching, free shipping
The fine print
- Compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide are not FDA-approved — not the same as Wegovy, Ozempic, or Zepbound
- Published pricing shown is for the compounded line — brand-name pricing isn't itemized
- Prescription isn't guaranteed — a provider reviews eligibility after checkout
