Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
ShedRx
Good headline prices and four routes to a GLP-1 — but the cheapest numbers it advertises need a year-long commitment.
Why it's a deal
- Four routes — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill — plus brand Zepbound and Wegovy
- $299 month-to-month tirzepatide is still competitive against flat-fee rivals
- Available in all 50 states, with health coaching included
The fine print
- The advertised "as low as $239" needs a twelve-month commitment — month-to-month is $299
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named
Care Bare Rx
Broad formulary including oral tirzepatide and brand Ozempic, but you cannot price a dose without entering the intake.
Why it's a deal
- Oral tirzepatide as well as injectable — rare in this ranking
- Brand Ozempic (from $705/mo) and oral Rybelsus beside the compounded line
- LegitScript certified and HIPAA compliant
The fine print
- The "from $199/mo" is shared across all weight-loss treatments — neither molecule is priced on its own
- Per-dose pricing is quiz-gated, so a titrated cost cannot be modeled beforehand
- No named clinicians, founding year or parent company disclosed
