GoodRx vs HeliMeds
By GLP-1 ScorecardUpdated
Score comparison
GoodRx has the higher recorded score — 69.6/100 to 68.3/100, but only just.
GoodRx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. GoodRx offers free prescription discounts and a separate $39 monthly weight-loss care subscription; branded medication, dose discounts and refill conditions need a separate quote. HeliMeds is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Site position #132 · C
Strengths
- Free prescription discounts can be used without purchasing the weight-loss care subscription
- Current Care Direct menu names oral Wegovy, injectable Wegovy/HD, Foundayo tablets and Zepbound KwikPen
- Publishes a separate $39 monthly care fee rather than presenting it as the medication price
- Official terms name possible medical groups and dispensing pharmacies; the guide explains pharmacy selection
What to consider
- Medication is extra; dose offers do not establish continuing cost. Foundayo and Zepbound self-pay card savings end December 31, 2026
- The Zepbound page has an inconsistent 10 mg lowest-dose label; confirm device, strength and selected quote
- Support and terms differ on the initial care-charge trigger; renewals are automatic and cancellation requires at least one day’s notice
- Care Direct weight-loss treatment excludes Alabama and Louisiana, and the guide says no insurance prior-authorization submissions
- Actual dispensing branch, lab costs and refill timing still require confirmation; canceling does not guarantee a refund
Site position #165 · C
Strengths
- Both compounded and brand-name GLP-1 options available
- Compounded semaglutide from $99 — competitive pricing
What to consider
- The LegitScript seal ID this provider publishes, #368688, does not resolve on LegitScript's own CDN — checked August 2026, alongside six seal IDs from other providers that returned normally in the same pass
- State availability not publicly disclosed
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (stated on site)
- Also a broader health platform (sexual health, energy)
Featured provider
CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx scores 89.5/100 (B+). Advertises pricing across doses with no membership fee, but starting-price displays and FAQ payment/refund promises need to be reconciled with the selected plan and refund policy.
