HealthSource
61/100Where the value is
- Offers an oral tirzepatide option in addition to injectable, which not every site in this set does
- States medication ships from an 'FDA 503A licensed partner pharmacy'
- 3-5 business day shipping stated
The tradeoffs
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than by calendar month, which adds roughly one extra charge per year versus a true monthly rate — an 8%+ real-cost increase the headline price doesn't convey
- The compounding pharmacy is never named, only described generically as 'FDA 503A licensed partner pharmacy'
Super Healthy Rx
61/100Where the value is
- Semaglutide starts at $199/mo and tirzepatide at $249/mo, both flat regardless of dose
- Advertised price bundles a 'Syringes & Alcohol Pads Kit,' not sold separately
- 'Ongoing Provider Support' and free delivery stated as included in the tirzepatide listing
The tradeoffs
- A separate 'microdosing' product line advertises the same $199 figure but is marked 'Coming Soon' — easy to mistake for the live standard-dose price
- No dosing schedule, titration plan, or states-served list published on the pricing pages
