Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Vitara RX
VitaraRx is a direct-to-consumer telehealth marketplace offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at flat per-drug pricing across all doses — no membership or hidden fees.
Why it's a deal
- Among the lowest flat pricing in the market — $99/mo semaglutide and $149/mo tirzepatide, all doses same price
- Names its 503A pharmacy partner (Manifest Pharmacy, Greer SC) — strong supply-chain transparency
- LegitScript Certified
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Covers 49 states with an explicit state list, not vague "most states" language
The fine print
- No corporate legal entity disclosed — only the trade name "VitaraRx"
- No named medical director — all clinical decisions made by independent providers (marketplace model)
- All sales final — no medication returns
- Per-vial mg quantity isn't clearly disclosed, making price comparisons harder
- Doesn't ship to Alaska
Lean Rx
Lean Rx is a Sacramento-based telehealth technology platform offering compounded GLP-1 weight loss medications.
Why it's a deal
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide offered
- Three formulations: injectable, sublingual, and tablet
- Upfront pricing with no hidden fees advertised
- Semaglutide starts at a low $266/month
- Telehealth call with a licensed provider before prescribing
The fine print
- Compounded-only; no FDA-approved branded options
- No published state availability list
- Platform is technology only, not a healthcare provider itself
- Provider credentials not detailed on site
