Graded #125 · 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 #360 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide ($189/mo) and tirzepatide ($276/mo) injectables, with lower per-month pricing on the 3-month plans ($176 and $233/mo)
- Clear, upfront plan pages showing monthly and multi-month pricing with no surprise fees
- Care from licensed US providers with monthly home delivery and ongoing dose support
- Bilingual English/Spanish site and a broader telehealth menu (TRT, longevity, hair, sexual health) for people who want more than weight loss
Where it loses points
- Doesn't publish the states it serves — you only learn eligibility after starting the intake
- Compounding pharmacies aren't named on the site
- Mid-range pricing — cheaper compounded GLP-1 options exist and the 3-month discount is modest
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injectables only — no brand-name or oral options
- Self-hosted affiliate program (not a vetted network); Florida/Palm Beach framing suggests a regional lean
