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 #186 · C
Strengths
- Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as both weekly injections and oral tablets
- Transparent, published pricing with month-to-month, quarterly, and 6-month plans and no membership fee
- Multi-month plans cut the per-month cost sharply (semaglutide as low as $99/mo, tirzepatide as low as $133/mo)
- Advertises a $50-off code (LOOSE50) and covers weight loss plus hair, sexual-wellness, and longevity care
- Also lists a retatrutide option and custom dosing plans for higher needs
Where it loses points
- Prescribing medical group and compounding pharmacy are not named on the site
- States of operation are not published; confirm eligibility during intake
- Says it is 'LegitScript certified' but no verifiable seal is shown, so the claim is unconfirmed
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
