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
Graded #252 · C
Strengths
- Covers both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide and can prescribe brand-name GLP-1s when clinically appropriate.
- LegitScript-certified (seal #50716646), available in all 50 states, with tiered pricing shown before checkout.
- No membership fee and free expedited shipping on all orders; online intake with no appointment required in many cases.
- Prices drop with longer commitments (semaglutide to $149/mo, tirzepatide to $224/mo on a 12-month plan).
Where it loses points
- Does not name its compounding pharmacy or its clinical partner medical group, so the fulfillment chain is not verifiable.
- Pricing is described as illustrative and may change by dose, pharmacy availability, and eligibility — final cost shows only at checkout.
- Very new brand (2026, trademark pending) spanning many verticals, with a short track record in GLP-1 care.
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved or therapeutically equivalent to Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound.
