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
Strut Health
The cheapest entry point on the board, and the only place selling the same molecule as a lozenge at the injection's price.
Why it's a deal
- Cheapest entry on the board at $99/mo for sublingual semaglutide
- Sublingual lozenges for both molecules at the same price as the injection
- Free physician visit, free shipping and free follow-up care included
- Cancel, pause or delay yourself with 48 hours' notice
The fine print
- The $99 and $149 prices require auto-refill — a one-off order costs more
- Asynchronous by design, so in many states you never speak to the prescriber
- Compounded only, and not available in Arkansas
