Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Vaylen
The most complete menu in the mid-tier: flat pricing, brand-name access, an oral route, and a LegitScript pharmacy.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript-certified with all-50-state reach
- Offers compounded, FDA-approved brand-name, and oral routes
- Flat $179 sema / $239 tirz — no teaser step-up
The fine print
- Pricing is mid-pack, not rock-bottom
- You pay for the breadth of options
AlyveRx
AlyveRx (Alyve, Inc.) is a US online telehealth platform connecting patients with licensed providers for GLP-1 weight loss care, no insurance required, with free discreet delivery.
Why it's a deal
- Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as both injections and needle-free sublingual drops for people who dislike needles
- Transparent monthly pricing shown upfront, no insurance required, and free discreet delivery
- Also carries brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro through its provider network
The fine print
- Does not publicly name its dispensing pharmacy or display a LegitScript seal, so third-party accreditation is unverified
- Sublingual GLP-1 absorption relies on the company proprietary PermeAct technology and is not FDA-reviewed for weight loss
- State availability is not published on the site
