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
Youth & Soul
Ten-vertical telehealth marketplace selling compounded GLP-1 tiers alongside HRT, ED, nootropics and peptides, running on the Bask Health platform.
Why it's a deal
- Three GLP-1 tiers priced openly, with the dose range and every included component listed per tier
- Full refund advertised if you are not approved
- Physician consultation, prescription and shipping stated as included in the plan price
- Ten treatment verticals under one account, from GLP-1 to HRT, peptides and mental health
The fine print
- Describes its compounded medications as FDA-Approved Compounds, which is false: compounded drugs are not FDA-approved
- Presents scraped third-party comments as testimonials, several using Reddit usernames and some describing brand Wegovy or Mounjaro
- Its own copy promises never to fabricate testimonials while displaying those scraped comments
- Homepage trust counters render as 0K+ medical professionals, 0.0M+ patients and 0M+ successful orders
- Labels its compounded tirzepatide a Mounjaro compound, conflating a compounded drug with the brand
