The verdict

GoodRx takes it — 69.6/100 to 60.2/100.

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 #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
TeleZen MD

Graded #328 · C

Strengths

  • Says it serves all 50 states — among the broadest claimed reach in the compounded segment
  • Markets U.S.-based, FDA-registered pharmacies
  • $100 off your first order with code WELCOME100
  • Fully online U.S. telehealth model with physician evaluation
  • Education-forward, physician-led positioning

Where it loses points

  • Partner pharmacy not named
  • Legal entity name and state of incorporation not disclosed
  • Brand-name medications not addressed on the homepage
  • LegitScript certification not confirmed
  • All-50-states claim is the provider's own, not independently verified
