Care Clinics vs Collective
The verdict
Care Clinics takes it — 85.4/100 to 71.6/100.
Care Clinics grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. The cheapest both-molecule pairing in the ranking ($100/$133) from a LegitScript-verified operator.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Graded #16 · B
Strengths
- Lowest combined price ($100 sema / $133 tirz)
- LegitScript-verified
- Both molecules
Where it loses points
- Only 32 states — not nationwide
- Injection-only
- Labs/monitoring not published
Graded #97 · C
Strengths
- The medication figures are among the lowest published anywhere in this ranking, at $59 for semaglutide and $69 for tirzepatide
- The membership includes unlimited doctor messaging, ongoing check-ins and dose adjustments, and nutrition and lifestyle support
- Two-day express cold shipping is included rather than charged at checkout
- No lab work is required to begin, and the site says so plainly instead of leaving it to the intake
- A 21-day free trial precedes the annual membership charge
Where it loses points
- The headline “Get GLP-1s at $59/month” omits the mandatory $199 annual membership, which appears only in a card panel, a small disclaimer and the FAQ
- The membership renews annually and all membership fees are non-refundable, with no partial-period refund, so “cancel anytime” only stops the next renewal
- The Terms reserve an unpriced technology transaction fee for each electronic prescription while the homepage promises no hidden costs
- Savings are advertised at two different figures on two of its own pages
- No pharmacy is named and no compounding class is stated; the Terms say only “independent, third-party licensed pharmacies”
- The medical group is named only in the Privacy Notice and no prescribing clinician is identified
- The site never states whether a medication month is a calendar month or a four-week cycle
