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
PrideRx
PrideRx is an LGBTQ+-friendly telehealth platform offering brand-name-only GLP-1 weight loss — Zepbound (tirzepatide) from $299/mo, Wegovy Pill (oral semaglutide) from $149/mo, and Foundayo (orforglipron)…
Why it's a deal
- All three brand-name GLP-1 options on one platform — Zepbound injection, Wegovy Pill, and Foundayo — no compounded substitutes
- Medication ships from and is billed by LillyDirect or NovoCare; PrideRx never handles or re-sells the drug
- Transparent published per-dose pricing with on-page verification dates
- $99/mo membership includes doctor visits and prescription management; 24-hour prescription review
The fine print
- $99/mo membership on top of medication cost — all-in runs $248–$548/mo depending on drug and dose
- Legal entity and prescribing medical group are not named on the site
- No LegitScript certification visible
- State availability is not published — telehealth consult rules vary by state
