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
Contour Health
Contour Health (Desert Contour LLC) is a Utah-based telehealth provider offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide through a named 503A pharmacy partner, Strive Pharmacy.
Why it's a deal
- Free medical consultation — no charge to talk with a provider before starting
- Pay-per-vial pricing with no long-term subscription commitment required to participate
- Names its compounding pharmacy partner (Strive Pharmacy, 503A accredited) — a real transparency signal
- LegitScript badge links to a genuine, working LegitScript verification checker for the domain
- Board-certified Medical Director and named nurse-practitioner care team, not anonymous providers
The fine print
- State availability list is not published — Terms of Service only says "certain states"
- All product purchases are non-refundable per Terms of Service
- Compounded injectable only — no oral option, no brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound/Ozempic/Mounjaro
- Terms of Service also describe an optional subscription tier with a 3-month minimum, despite marketing emphasizing "no subscriptions"
- No insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid accepted — cash-pay or HSA/FSA only
