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
Royal Medical Center
Royal Medical Center is a physician-led nationwide telehealth practice centered on hormone therapy that also offers a compounded tirzepatide weight-loss program (no semaglutide).
Why it's a deal
- Physician founder Dr. Dagoberto Rodriguez, MD — Emory residency, former Coral Springs Medical Center chairman, U Miami faculty
- Tirzepatide pricing fully itemized by dose tier ($450 / $650 / $800 / $1,100) — more transparent than 'starting at' floors
- All-inclusive pricing bundles medication, supplies, injections, lab monitoring, and physician follow-ups
- Broad catalog (HRT, TRT, peptides, ED, hair, vitamins) reflects an established multi-program clinic
- Florida physician with 30+ years of practice — a strong physician-led care signal
The fine print
- Operating legal entity not disclosed — only the 'Royal Medical Center' brand surfaced
- Pharmacy partner not named — buyers can't verify licensure or 503A/503B status
- No LegitScript badge displayed
- States served not enumerated — site says 'nationwide' with no state list
- Headline 'starting at $116/mo' conflicts with the actual $450/mo tirzepatide floor
