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
The Virtual NP
The Virtual NP is a nurse-practitioner-led telehealth weight loss clinic prescribing FDA-approved branded GLP-1 medications, Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide), from Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk.
Why it's a deal
- FDA-approved branded Zepbound and Wegovy only, no compounded
- Transparent fees: 99 visit or 75 per month membership
- HSA/FSA accepted and prior authorization assistance offered
- NP-led with same or next-day booking and home shipping
The fine print
- Branded only, so medication cost is high and billed separately
- Limited to seven states
- No compounded lower-cost GLP-1 alternative
- Single-provider practice may limit scale and hours
