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
TelePeptide
TelePeptide is a LegitScript-certified US direct-pay telehealth practice offering physician-supervised compounded GLP-1 therapy — semaglutide and tirzepatide — in injectable and oral dissolvable tablet…
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript-certified (seal ID 49966407); 503A-licensed compounding pharmacies
- All-inclusive from $169/mo annual — physician eval + Rx + medication + shipping, no hidden fees
- Broadest formulation menu: injectable sema/tirz, oral dissolvable tablets, sema+naltrexone, microdose combos
- 24/7 care team messaging + regular check-ins + dosage adjustments included at every tier
- 48 states + DC coverage (excludes only AK + MS); no insurance required; cancel anytime
The fine print
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; no pharmacy partner named publicly
- Monthly billing costs more — $199/mo (monthly) vs $169/mo (annual) for semaglutide injectable; best rate requires annual prepay
- Labs not included in any plan
- Founder disclosed by first name only (Ahmed); no physician names or clinical leadership disclosed publicly
- Tirzepatide injectable at $249/mo (monthly billing) is above the compounded market average
