Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Care Clinics
Cheap on both molecules — $100 sema, $133 tirz — from a LegitScript-certified pharmacy across 32 states.
Why it's a deal
- Low $100 semaglutide and a class-cheap $133 tirzepatide
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Both molecules priced up front — no teaser step-up
The fine print
- Covers 32 states, not the full 50
- Compounded only — no brand-name or oral route
Claya
Claya is a direct-to-consumer telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injectable and oral-tablet forms — a wider format range than most competitors.
Why it's a deal
- Two named licensed clinicians (Habashy, NMD MS and Barber, MD PhD) — rare transparency for compounded GLP-1
- Two named pharmacy partners with full addresses (RedRock, UT and Healthware, KY)
- Both injectable and oral-tablet forms offered for semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Weight-loss money-back guarantee published on the homepage
- Free expedited shipping included in the monthly price
The fine print
- States-served list not disclosed — you must check at checkout
- LegitScript certification status not displayed
- Corporate legal entity not disclosed on the site or privacy policy
- Oral compounded tablets have weaker efficacy data than injectable semaglutide
- Intro pricing is higher at refill ($299), erasing the first-month advantage
