The comparison in brief

Alan Meds has the higher Cost-Efficiency Index: 84/100 versus 83/100. That is a value comparison under our published methodology, not a measure of medical suitability or a guarantee of results.

The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

RxSpan MD

Someone who wants to compare a compounded route against brand-name Zepbound or Wegovy without leaving one provider, and who will read past the twelve-month figure.

Reasons to consider it

  • Every product and every term carries a published price, including the brand-name lane: Zepbound at $1,069, Ozempic at $1,299 and Wegovy at $1,349
  • Three ways to take it on one account: a weekly injection, a daily capsule of either molecule, or a brand-name drug
  • Names its medical group, Lion MD, with two lead physicians and their NPI numbers, and lists four dispensing pharmacies with phone numbers

What to weigh up

  • The figure a reader is most likely to meet elsewhere, around $194, is the twelve-month per-month rate; one month of the semaglutide injection is $249
  • Its semaglutide prices match Prime Doctor RX's to the dollar at every plan length, so comparing the two on price tells you little
  • Brand-name pricing is cash pricing: none of those three figures reflects insurance

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

Alan Meds

Budget-first shoppers who want the lowest sema price plus an oral route nationwide.

Reasons to consider it

  • $99 semaglutide and $145 tirzepatide — among the cheapest disclosed prices we track
  • Nationwide all-50 access with an oral/sublingual option
  • Both molecules published for straightforward cost modeling

What to weigh up

  • Not LegitScript-certified — oversight harder to verify
  • Compounded only — no brand-name access

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Alan Health Technologies Inc. dba Alan in February 2026. We still list and link to Alan Meds; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
