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
Somira Health
Somira Health is a self-pay telehealth platform that connects you with independent licensed providers and compounding pharmacies for GLP-1 weight loss.
Why it's a deal
- Transparent flat monthly pricing that does not increase as you titrate (semaglutide $189.99/mo, tirzepatide $284.99/mo)
- Quarterly plans lower the effective monthly cost (semaglutide $136.66/mo, tirzepatide $221.66/mo)
- Free overnight shipping, with syringes and alcohol wipes included in every order
- Simple, fast online intake reviewed by a licensed provider; no insurance required
- Both weekly compounded GLP-1 options offered: semaglutide and tirzepatide
The fine print
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- The compounding pharmacy partner is not named
- State-availability list is not published
- No LegitScript certification displayed
- New, thin platform with limited public detail on the provider network, lab monitoring, or ongoing support
