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
LeanDose
LeanDose is a doctor-guided compounded GLP-1 telehealth service for eligible adults, with transparent all-inclusive first-month pricing: compounded semaglutide from $159 and tirzepatide from $279.
Why it's a deal
- Transparent all-inclusive first-month pricing (compounded semaglutide from $159, tirzepatide from $279)
- Verifiable LegitScript certification (seal ID 49840868) and an FDA-registered compounding pharmacy
- Doctor-prescribed and supervised, with personalized care plans and multi-state clinical support
- Convenient at-home delivery; compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide options
- Honest, modest social proof — 119 five-star patient reviews
The fine print
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Headline rates are first-month pricing; your ongoing monthly cost may be higher
- Available in multiple states but the full list is not published on the homepage
- The compounding pharmacy is FDA-registered but not named
