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
KERNX Health
Washington DC telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on flat monthly plans, with the physician consultation billed separately per visit.
Why it's a deal
- Publishes plan pricing openly, before any intake or account creation
- Month-to-month with no long-term contract and no multi-month prepayment
- Billing starts only after a licensed provider approves treatment
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
The fine print
- Its own pricing page contradicts itself: it claims no separate consultation charges, then states a $25-$60 fee applies per visit
- The consultation fee is charged whether or not a prescription is issued
- Advertised $129 and $199 rates are time-limited founding rates; standard rates are $249 and $299
- No compounding pharmacy is named anywhere on the site
- Shipping claims conflict: a 48-hour figure on the homepage against 1-2 days to ship plus 2-3 days transit in the FAQ
