Shoppers who can pay a full year up front, where the annual rate is genuinely among the cheapest all-50 tickets — and who will otherwise budget for the month-to-month rate.
Visit Trimi HealthThe verdict

Live Vital
82/100Where the value is
- $99 semaglutide — among the lowest in the ranking
- Nationwide all-50 access with both molecules disclosed
- Strong raw cost-per-month on semaglutide
The tradeoffs
- Not LegitScript-certified
- Compounded only; tirzepatide is pricier relative to its semaglutide
Trimi Health
78/100Where the value is
- Publishes every term rung openly — annual, six-month, quarterly and monthly are all priced on the page rather than revealed at checkout
- Price is flat at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Both molecules available on one account, nationwide, with no enrollment or consultation fee
The tradeoffs
- The advertised $99 and $125 rates require a full year paid up front; month-to-month costs $175 and $235, a 77% and 88% premium
- No public LegitScript certification, so pharmacy oversight is harder to independently verify
