Alan Meds vs GoodRx
The verdict
Alan Meds takes it — 71.1/100 to 69.6/100, but only just.
Alan Meds grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with multiple administration formats including microdosing and oral options. GoodRx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #98 · C
Strengths

- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Compounded GLP-1 access
- Multiple administration formats
Where it loses points
- Limited public information on program details
Graded #116 · C
Strengths
- $149/month self-pay for brand-name Foundayo (orforglipron) — matches the lowest cash price at launch, far below typical retail
- $299/month self-pay for Zepbound KwikPen — well under Lilly's typical cash list price
- Honored at 70,000+ US pharmacies — the largest retail redemption network of any GLP-1 channel we cover
- No membership fee — bring your own prescription and present the discount card at the pharmacy counter
- Brand-name FDA-approved medication, not compounded
Where it loses points
- Requires a valid prescription — GoodRx is a discount card, not a prescriber; you still need a clinician to write the script
- Self-pay only — does not apply toward insurance benefits or deductibles
- Headline price applies to the lowest Foundayo dose; higher doses may cost more
- No compounded GLP-1 options — not the channel for compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide
- Pricing can change as Lilly's manufacturer coupon program evolves
