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
Kova
Kova is a GLP-1 weight-loss program from LifeTech Apps Inc, a Delaware company, pairing compounded GLP-1 medication with a companion app that tracks weight, protein intake and side effects.
Why it's a deal
- Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
- Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
- States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
- Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
- You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment
The fine print
- At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
- The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
- Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
- No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes a Value Score.
