The verdict

GoodRx takes it — 69.6/100 to 63.6/100.

GoodRx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. GoodRx (NASDAQ: GDRX) is the largest US prescription savings platform.

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.

GoodRx

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
Medro

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.

Also worth a look

Neither is our top-graded pick — CoreAge Rx leads the scorecard

Pricing/verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last grading; the WeighScore is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
