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
ShapeIn Rx
Phoenix-based telehealth from WellHealth LLC selling compounded semaglutide with B12 and daily compounded liraglutide, with telemedicine limited to states where its providers are licensed.
Why it's a deal
- One of the few telehealth providers offering compounded liraglutide as a daily alternative to weekly injections
- Semaglutide is compounded with B12, and the combination is stated plainly
- Publishes a street address and a staffed phone line with hours
- States openly that telemedicine is limited to jurisdictions where its providers are licensed, rather than claiming all 50
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
The fine print
- Advertises Trusted by 150k Americans and Excellent 4.8 with 150k happy customers, and neither figure is attributable to a verifiable review profile
- No state list is published, only a statement that coverage is limited and a note that partner pharmacies may operate in all 50 states
- The struck-through $199 next to $149 on the homepage reads as a discount but the two prices are different medications
- Claims No Hidden Fees and No Monthly Membership while the Terms state subscriptions automatically renew
- No compounding pharmacy is named, only US-Certified Pharmacy
