Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Trimi Health
The ultra-budget pick: two-digit semaglutide and a $125 tirzepatide — one of the lowest flat tirz stickers on the whole board — shipped to all 50 states.
Why it's a deal
- Ultra-budget on both molecules — $99 semaglutide and a class-low $125 tirzepatide, flat with no teaser step-up
- Tirzepatide at $125/mo undercuts most of the flat-fee field on the priciest molecule
- Nationwide 50-state reach, so the low price isn't gated to a handful of states
The fine print
- Not LegitScript-certified — do your own pharmacy diligence before you buy on price alone
- Compounded injectable only — no FDA-approved brand-name or oral/sublingual route
- Newer brand with a thin public track record
HeliMeds
HeliMeds offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as well as brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound.
Why it's a deal
- Both compounded and brand-name GLP-1 options available
- LegitScript certified (#368688)
- Compounded semaglutide from $99 — competitive pricing
The fine print
- State availability not publicly disclosed
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (stated on site)
- Also a broader health platform (sexual health, energy)
