Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Ondra Health
The cheapest flat semaglutide sticker we track ($93) — LegitScript-certified, all 50 states, and it still offers brand-name access.
Why it's a deal
- Lowest disclosed flat semaglutide price in the roster ($93/mo) — no teaser step-up
- LegitScript-certified and available in all 50 states
- Offers FDA-approved brand-name access alongside compounded
- Tirzepatide is competitive too at $166/mo
The fine print
- Newer name with a shorter public track record than the established flat-fee brands
- No oral/sublingual route for the needle-averse
Nalena
Nalena is a women-focused, GLP-1-only telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with medication included — no separate membership or visit fees.
Why it's a deal
- Compounded GLP-1 from $149/mo with medication included — near the floor of the compounded market
- Transparent fee model: no hidden fees, no membership, cancel anytime
- Money-back guarantee — uncommon among compounded telehealths
- Clinical provider disclosed: Beluga Health, P.A. in Houston, TX
- Women-focused positioning
The fine print
- Per-dose pricing not published — only the 'starting at $149' entry price
- No LegitScript, HIPAA, or NABP badges on public pages
- Compounding pharmacy partners not named (only 'multiple USA certified pharmacies')
- Houston address looks like a virtual office rather than a clinical facility
- No brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) — compounded only
