Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Gimme Care
Genuinely cheap on both molecules ($130 / $163) with a LegitScript-certified pharmacy and all-50-state reach.
Why it's a deal
- Low flat price on both molecules ($130 sema / $163 tirz)
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Available in all 50 states
The fine print
- No brand-name option — compounded only
- No oral/sublingual form
Carocare Wellness
Carocare Wellness is a medically guided clinic in Houston, Texas offering in-person, provider-supervised GLP-1 weight loss alongside IV hydration, NAD+ and routine wellness visits.
Why it's a deal
- Real, named local clinic in Houston with hands-on provider support, in-person visits and Google-reviewed patient experiences
- Low entry pricing — semaglutide from $170 and tirzepatide from $200 in month 1, with 3-month bundles ($500 / $600) that cut the effective monthly cost
- Packages include ongoing provider support, supplies and delivery
- Also offers IV hydration and NAD+ if you want broader wellness services in one place
The fine print
- Houston/Texas only — no nationwide telehealth, so it is not an option outside the local area
- Dose-escalating pricing climbs steeply (semaglutide reaches $330 by month 5; tirzepatide $425 by month 6)
- Compounding pharmacy is not named, and there is no LegitScript or published clinical-oversight detail
- Small single-location operation with no patient portal — booking and support run through Calendly and direct contact
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name or oral options
