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
TrueMe
TrueMe is a cash-pay telehealth brand offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with added B vitamins, alongside NAD+, sermorelin and glutathione.
Why it's a deal
- One price covers consultation, medication, shipping, supplies and provider support, and the site states there are no separate membership fees
- Same price at every dose, so the cost does not climb as a provider titrates the dose upward
- Full pricing is published up front — no intake form is required before you can see what you will pay
- Carries a genuine LegitScript-issued seal (ID 50205625) that resolves on LegitScript's own asset host
- Names its telehealth platform (Telegra) and physician network (Strive), and the returns address names CarePoint Infusion Pharmacy in Stafford, Texas
The fine print
- Serves only six states (AZ, CO, MO, PA, TX, WI), far narrower coverage than most national GLP-1 telehealth
- Prices marketed per month are charged every 4 weeks at checkout — 13 charges a year, not 12
- You pay before completing the medical intake, and approval is not guaranteed at the moment you are charged
- The 3-month rates ($119 and $139/mo) are a single upfront charge of $357 or $417, not a lower monthly plan
- A Featured In strip shows CNN, Fox News, Forbes, New York Times and NPR logos with no linked coverage
