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
Strut Health
Semaglutide at $129 a month and tirzepatide at $149 on auto-refill, plus needle-free semaglutide lozenges and tirzepatide tablets for anyone who would rather not inject.
What's good
- Low auto-refill prices at Strut: $129 a month for injectable semaglutide and $149 for injectable tirzepatide
- Needle-free routes on both molecules: a semaglutide lozenge, listed as low as $99 a month on auto-refill, and oral tirzepatide at $199
- Free physician visit, free shipping and free follow-up care included
- Cancel, pause or delay yourself with 48 hours' notice
The fine print
- The FDA issued Strut Health a warning letter in February 2026 — it is on the public FDA warning-letter database
- Strut's prices require auto-refill; a one-off order costs 14% to 21% more
- Strut Health is asynchronous by design, so in many states you never speak to the prescriber
- Strut Health is compounded only, and does not ship to Arkansas
