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
LifeMD
Publicly traded telehealth provider offering brand-name GLP-1 medications only.
Why it's a deal
- Telehealth convenience
- Physician-supervised program
The fine print
- Brand-name GLP-1 only — no lower-cost compounded option
- Monthly program & provider fee ($149/mo, $75 first month) is separate from medication cost
