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
PlushCare
Established virtual primary-care telehealth platform (subsidiary of Transcarent, Inc., a Delaware corporation, alongside Accolade, 2nd.MD, and 98point6 by Transcarent).
Why it's a deal
- Available in all 50 states
- Appointments with US board-certified physicians, not nurse practitioners only
- Virtual primary care — the same doctor can manage GLP-1s alongside other health needs
- Owned by Transcarent, a venture-backed health platform with a named corporate parent
The fine print
- Facing a California class action alleging deceptive subscription enrollment and unauthorized charges after cancellation
- GLP-1 prescribing is up to the clinician at the visit — not guaranteed at signup
- BBB complaints center on the membership cancellation process
