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
GOAL.MD
GOAL.MD is a St. Louis-based telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide alongside brand-name bridges to Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound. Its standout is a manual-renewal model — no auto-billing
Why it's a deal
- Transparent dose-tiered pricing on brand pens
- LegitScript Certified
- Manual-renewal model — no surprise auto-billing
- Free nutrition coach included
- BBB A+ rating since 2021
The fine print
- No named compounding pharmacy partner
- Co-founder and chief physician has a 2016 federal guilty plea for distributing misbranded HGH and a (reinstated) license revocation
- No URAC or PCAB pharmacy accreditation
