Head-to-head verdict

ShedRx vs HealthRX

Two GLP-1 providers, ruled side by side on The Verdict Score — our published six-factor rubric. Same yardstick, and no score is adjusted for payment.

WinnerGrade B+ · #4

ShedRx

The widest formulary on this board — injections, drops, lozenges and an oral pill, plus real brand Zepbound — with health coaching bundled in.

vs
Grade B · #8

HealthRX

One of the few names that actually holds a LegitScript certification you can look up — and it pairs that with a rare oral GLP tablet and a fully published plan table, though the headline $99 and $179 rates are 12-month prepay floors, not what a month-to-month patient pays.

The verdict

Winner: ShedRx

ShedRx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 87/100 to 86/100 (grade B+ vs B). People who want options rather than one route: a needle-free form, a brand pathway, or coaching included instead of sold separately. HealthRX still earns its place — patients who want a verifiable, physician-supervised operator, would rather swallow a daily tablet than inject, and are willing to prepay a year to reach the lowest published rate.

Neither of these is our overall #1. That title goes to CoreAge Rx (94/100) — the most honest middle of the market: nationwide access, both molecules at one flat, no-surprise price.

ShedRx

What we like

  • Four routes to a GLP-1 — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and an oral daily pill — plus brand Zepbound and Wegovy
  • Tirzepatide $299/mo month-to-month falling to $239 on a twelve-month plan; semaglutide $199 falling to $159
  • Health coaching included with membership rather than upsold
  • Publishes a 120-day weight-loss guarantee, which almost nothing else here offers

The caveats

  • The advertised "as low as $239" tirzepatide rate requires committing to twelve months — month-to-month is $299
  • Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
  • The dispensing compounding pharmacy is not publicly named

HealthRX

What we like

  • LegitScript-certified (#50087439) — a genuine, checkable trust signal, not a self-claim
  • Physician-supervised intake with licensed prescribers
  • Carries both molecules plus a rare oral GLP tablet — real route choice
  • Full plan table published on-site with a current-as-of date: semaglutide $190/mo month-to-month down to $99/mo on the 12-month plan, tirzepatide $239/mo down to $179/mo — no insurance required
  • Cancel online in one click, unshipped doses refunded, 30-day money-back guarantee and a full refund if a provider doesn't approve you

The caveats

  • GLP-1 is compounded, not FDA-approved — the standard verification caveat applies
  • The advertised $99 and $179 rates require a 12-month prepay — $1,188 and $2,148 up front; month-to-month runs $190 and $239
  • Brand Ozempic is pass-through at ~$1,299/mo — the path exists but is priced out of reach for most
