Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Precision Telemed
A LegitScript-certified, all-50-state program with an honest $149 / $199 flat price on both molecules.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript-certified and available in all 50 states
- Flat $149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide — no step-up
- Both molecules priced up front
The fine print
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — sub-$100 sema tiers exist
- No brand-name or oral option
Elara MD
Elara MD is a weight-loss and wellness telehealth platform offering weekly injectable GLP-1 therapy alongside a peptide menu (NAD+, sermorelin, glutathione).
Why it's a deal
- Dose-banded monthly pricing published on-site ($249–$649/mo across tiers)
- Both a semaglutide-range and a tirzepatide-range (GLP-1/GIP) option, plus microdosing
- Medication included in the monthly price with free fast shipping when prescribed
- Broad reach claimed (over 40 states)
The fine print
- Molecules not named on-site (only 'Personalized GLP-1') — compounded status is inferred
- No FDA compounded-medication disclaimer published
- No named compounding pharmacy partner — prescriptions are patient-directed
- LegitScript certification, medical director, and full state list not disclosed
- Pricier than several compounded competitors
