Lean Meds
Ranked #23Lean Meds charges $79 a month for compounded semaglutide and $109 for tirzepatide, flat at every dose, names the four pharmacies that fill the prescriptions, and advertises a $49 figure that is really its twelve-month rate.

bmiMD
Ranked #20Low $129/$179 month-to-month pricing on both molecules nationwide — the $99/$139 headline requires a full 12-month prepay, but a genuine no-commitment option still undercuts most of the ranking.
