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
ShedRx
Good headline prices and four routes to a GLP-1 — but the cheapest numbers it advertises need a year-long commitment.
Why it's a deal
- Four routes — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill — plus brand Zepbound and Wegovy
- $299 month-to-month tirzepatide is still competitive against flat-fee rivals
- Available in all 50 states, with health coaching included
The fine print
- The advertised "as low as $239" needs a twelve-month commitment — month-to-month is $299
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named
