Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
bmiMD
Sub-$100 semaglutide and a low $139 tirzepatide, flat and nationwide — a straight-up low-price play.
Why it's a deal
- $99 flat semaglutide and a low $139 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states
- Both molecules priced up front
The fine print
- Not LegitScript-certified — do your own pharmacy diligence
- Thin public track record; no oral or brand-name option
AskRx
AskRx is a US telehealth platform whose board-certified physicians exclusively prescribe FDA-approved, brand-name GLP-1 medications for weight loss - no compounded drugs.
Why it's a deal
- Prescribes only FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s, no compounded drugs
- LegitScript approved and HIPAA compliant
- Board-certified physicians trained in obesity medicine
- Transparent dose-based pricing published on site
- Available in all 50 states
The fine print
- Cash-pay model; medication cost billed separately by the pharmacy
- Does not dispense medication itself, so fulfillment depends on third-party pharmacies
- No compounded lower-cost alternative offered
- Specific list of supported states is not published
