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
OnlyRx
OnlyRx is a cash-pay GLP-1 telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injection and oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) forms — an uncommon needle-free option.
Why it's a deal
- Four-pharmacy network: Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, and Casa Pharma RX
- Named prescribers on the public site: Dr. Carr (MD), Dr. Tenbrink (MD), Dr. Italia (MD), Dr. Mansour (DO)
- Oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) form for both semaglutide and tirzepatide — good for needle-averse patients
- Pricing, drug list, pharmacy partners, and physician roster all visible on the public site
- LegitScript Certified
The fine print
- Promo pricing ($179 semaglutide injection) is prominent, but post-promo maintenance pricing isn't shown
- No titration-ladder pricing — you can't see costs at 1.0 mg or 2.4 mg maintenance
- Refund / cancellation policy not stated on the homepage
- Lab-work requirement not stated
- Operating corporate entity not disclosed
