Alan Meds takes it on Value Score, 90 to 84 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Sunlight isn't out of it: Injection-only shoppers who want the lowest genuinely flat price on this board and want to know by name which pharmacy is filling the script before they sign up.

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
Sunlight
One of the lowest flat, no-step-up compounded prices we track — $88 semaglutide, $157 tirzepatide, both injection-only — backed by six named compounding pharmacy partners instead of an anonymous "licensed pharmacy" claim.
Why it's a deal
- One of the lowest flat compounded prices on this board — $88/mo semaglutide, $157/mo tirzepatide — with no published month-one teaser distinct from the ongoing rate
- Names six compounding pharmacy partners by name (Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx, The Pharmacy Hub, Foothills Pharmacy) rather than an unnamed "licensed U.S. pharmacy"
- LegitScript-certified with a named medical team (Lion MD, led by Dr. Ana Lisa Carr, MD) and a BBB profile
- Flat monthly rate bundles the prescription, unlimited telehealth, a fresh 4-week supply, and free 1–2 day shipping — no separate membership fee
The fine print
- Injection only — one hero bullet claims "oral options available," but the site's own FAQ, medication list, and a 404'd /oral-semaglutide/ page confirm no oral GLP-1 is actually sold
- No FDA-approved brand-name route (compounded only)
- Refund policy only covers unfulfilled shipments if you're medically disqualified, not a change-of-mind cancellation after medication ships
- A newer brand with no long Trustpilot/BBB track record yet, leaning on on-page testimonials rather than third-party review volume
