Tru2u
61/100Where the value is
- Offers a combined semaglutide+tirzepatide injection (GLP Squared, $275) that most programs we track don't, priced below standalone tirzepatide
- Both injectable and oral-tablet forms listed for semaglutide and tirzepatide at matching prices
- Transparent upfront catalog pricing with free shipping stated on product pages
The tradeoffs
- The product catalog itself is gated behind an 'Apply to Purchase' flow restricted to 'qualified healthcare professionals and practitioners' — it is unclear a typical consumer can buy directly through this listing at all
- No compounding pharmacy is named, and no LegitScript badge is shown
Docberry
61/100Where the value is
- Every GLP-1 bundle is priced on the weight-loss page before you book: semaglutide $796 for four months or $2,028 for twelve, tirzepatide $1,745 for three months
- Names its pharmacy, Olympia Pharmaceuticals, a registered 503B outsourcing facility and 503A pharmacy
- Starts with an online consultation with a doctor, followed by regular check-ins to adjust the plan
The tradeoffs
- There is no month-to-month option: the shortest semaglutide plan is a four-month prepay and the only tirzepatide plan is three months up front
- The "Starting at $169/mo" headline is the monthly average of the 12-month, $2,028 bundle
