CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1Best value in the ranking: both molecules at one flat, all-50 price with no teaser step-ups — the lowest true cost of ownership, not the lowest teaser.

Curex
Ranked #27A discounted first month ($49-$149) steps up to a 'starting at $199' ongoing rate — real, but not the flat, fully-disclosed price the headline implies, and California loses the injectable route entirely.
- Sema
- $199/mo Starting (first month $49)
- Tirz
- $199/mo Starting (first month $149)
- Coverage
- Multi-state

Live Vital

bmiMD
Ranked #24Low $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.
- Sema
- $129/mo (true month-to-month; $99/mo requires 12-mo prepay)
- Tirz
- $179/mo (true month-to-month; $139/mo requires 12-mo prepay)

Care Bare Rx
Ranked #23A LegitScript-certified, HIPAA-compliant multi-service platform bundling weight loss with hair, TRT, sexual health and NAD+ — both oral (Rybelsus, oral tirzepatide) and injectable compounded routes, real brand Ozempic from ~$705/mo, and coverage across all 50 states plus Puerto Rico, but the 3-month plan is a real trap: it costs more per month than either month-to-month or the 6-month plan.
- Sema
- $199/mo month-to-month ($185/mo only on a 12-month prepay; the 3-month tier is dearer at $249/mo)
- Tirz
- $299/mo month-to-month ($293/mo only on a 12-month prepay; the 3-month tier is dearer at $356/mo)

Hims & Hers
Ranked #22Nationwide reach and a slick app at a mid-market semaglutide price — but an undisclosed tirzepatide price leaves part of the value equation blank.
- Sema
- $199/mo
- Tirz
- Not disclosed
- Coverage
- All 50 states
- Brand
- Compounded
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Hims & Hers Health, Inc. dba Hims in September 2025. We still list and link to Hims & Hers; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.

Lean Meds
Ranked #21Lean 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.
- Sema
- $79/mo month-to-month, flat at every dose (the advertised $49 is the 12-month plan)
- Tirz
- $109/mo month-to-month, flat at every dose (the advertised $95 is the 12-month plan)
