§ Each record, condensed

The three records, one screen

ShedRx: the record, condensed

ShedRx’s tirzepatide program bills $289 a month once every mandatory fee is counted, measured at the 10 mg maintenance basis. Note the shape: $199 is the number in the marketing, $289 is the number at maintenance. The $90 difference is not a fee or a trick per se — it is dose-tiered pricing doing what dose-tiered pricing does — but it means the advertised figure describes month one, not month twelve.

The absence worth noticing: no mandatory membership. Across this index memberships run $25–$145 a month and hide outside headline prices; here the headline is the bill.

To place the number: #5 of 17 verified programs, with the floor $74/month below at NexLife↗ ($215); the approved-product yardstick (Zepbound (LillyDirect↗)) sits at $449, so the compounded case here is worth $160 a month. A year at this figure: $3,468 monthly-billed.

ShedRx’s semaglutide program bills $249 a month once every mandatory fee is counted, measured at the 2.4 mg maintenance basis. The structure is tiered: the advertised entry point is $175, but the maintenance figure — the one a full year is actually billed at — is $249. That $74 gap between the ad and the anniversary is the single most important line in this record.

The absence worth noticing: no mandatory membership. Across this index memberships run $25–$145 a month and hide outside headline prices; here the headline is the bill.

Context for that figure: it ranks #13 of 20 in the verified semaglutide index — $116/month above the floor (Oak Longevity, $133) — and sits $100 under the brand benchmark (Wegovy (NovoCare↗), $349 at maintenance). Annualized, a monthly-billed year here runs $2,988.

Operationally at ShedRx: shipping included; commitment none month-to-month; cancellation 72-hour notice before the next billing cycle; pharmacy not publicly named — ask in writing before paying; states: not published; evidence source-verified, captured 2026-08-05.

OrderlyMeds: the record, condensed

OrderlyMeds’s tirzepatide program bills $299 a month once every mandatory fee is counted, measured at the 10 mg maintenance basis. Because pricing is flat across the ladder (2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 mg (12.5 and 15 mg available)), a dose increase at OrderlyMeds is a clinical event and not a billing one. Whatever your prescriber decides, the invoice does not move, which makes this one of the few programs whose headline figure you can actually plan a year around.

There is no membership line. $299 is the billed total — consultation and clinical review are inside it, and no platform fee recurs beside it, which removes the most common way advertised GLP-1 prices understate billed ones.

To place the number: #8 of 17 verified programs, with the floor $84/month below at NexLife ($215); the approved-product yardstick (Zepbound (LillyDirect)) sits at $449, so the compounded case here is worth $150 a month. A year at this figure: $3,588 monthly-billed.

OrderlyMeds’s semaglutide program bills $149 a month once every mandatory fee is counted, measured at the 2.4 mg maintenance basis. It is a flat structure: 0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg all bill identically. In a market where most low advertised prices quietly belong to the starter dose, a flat figure is the difference between a quote and a teaser.

Nothing recurs on top: no membership, no platform fee, no “provider access” line. The $149 is the whole subscription, which makes OrderlyMeds unusually easy to compare and unusually easy to leave.

Context for that figure: it ranks #4 of 20 in the verified semaglutide index — $16/month above the floor (Oak Longevity, $133) — and sits $200 under the brand benchmark (Wegovy (NovoCare), $349 at maintenance). Annualized, a monthly-billed year here runs $1,788.

Amble Health: the record, condensed

Amble Health’s tirzepatide program bills $300 a month once every mandatory fee is counted, measured at the 10 mg maintenance basis. Because pricing is flat across the ladder (2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 mg (12.5 and 15 mg available)), a dose increase at Amble Health is a clinical event and not a billing one. Whatever your prescriber decides, the invoice does not move, which makes this one of the few programs whose headline figure you can actually plan a year around.

Nothing recurs on top: no membership, no platform fee, no “provider access” line. The $300 is the whole subscription, which makes Amble Health unusually easy to compare and unusually easy to leave.

To place the number: #9 of 17 verified programs, with the floor $85/month below at NexLife ($215); the approved-product yardstick (Zepbound (LillyDirect)) sits at $449, so the compounded case here is worth $149 a month. A year at this figure: $3,600 monthly-billed.

§ The three-way read

Prices, gaps, and what sits inside them

ShedRx holds the low ground at $289 with no membership attached. OrderlyMeds follows at $299 (+$10/mo, $120/yr). Amble Health tops the trio at $300 (+$11/mo over the leader, $132/yr) — note its record’s watch-out below.

The semaglutide picture reshuffles the order: OrderlyMeds $149 → ShedRx $249 — a reminder that molecule choice and provider choice are separate decisions, priced separately in the semaglutide index.

§ Category winners among the three

Who wins what

Cheapest month-to-month: ShedRx ($289); cheapest 12-month path: ShedRx ($3,468); dose-flat structure: OrderlyMeds and Amble Health; cheapest semaglutide of the three: OrderlyMeds ($149).

Every winner above is a computation, not a placement; the pairwise pages carry the full duels: ShedRx vs OrderlyMeds · ShedRx vs Amble Health (record · record) · OrderlyMeds vs Amble Health (record · record).

§ Structure, three ways

Everything besides the three prices

Memberships: ShedRx none; OrderlyMeds none; Amble Health none. Structures: ShedRx step/tiered; OrderlyMeds dose-flat; Amble Health dose-flat. Pharmacies: ShedRx not named; OrderlyMeds not named; Amble Health not named. States: ShedRx — not published; OrderlyMeds — not published; Amble Health — not published. Exit terms: ShedRx — 72-hour notice before the next billing cycle; OrderlyMeds — not published; Amble Health — not published.

The census reading: where all three match on an axis, that axis cannot break the tie and the price column rules; where they split — a membership here, an unnamed pharmacy there — the split is usually worth more than a small price gap, because structure is what you live with after month one. Evidence for all three: ShedRx source-verified (2026-08-05); OrderlyMeds no public price (2026-08-05); Amble Health third-party reported (2026-08-05).

The trio on semaglutide, across time

3 mo: OrderlyMeds $447 vs ShedRx $747 6 mo: OrderlyMeds $894 vs ShedRx $1,494 12 mo: OrderlyMeds $1,788 vs ShedRx $2,988 — monthly-billed totals; prepaid paths where published appear on each provider page.

§ Twelve and twenty-four months

The trio, annualized

ShedRx: $3,468/yr monthly-billed; OrderlyMeds: $3,588/yr monthly-billed; Amble Health: $3,600/yr monthly-billed. Across two years at monthly billing the first-to-last spread widens to $264 — the horizon at which structure (prepaid ladders, flat pricing, membership drag) matters more than the sticker.

The elimination read

A three-way choice is really two eliminations, so run them in order. Eliminate Amble Health first unless it names its edge: at $300 it carries a $11/month premium over the floor of this trio — $132 a year, about 0.5 extra months of therapy at ShedRx’s rate — and a premium that size must point at a specific line in its record (its particular program design) or it is decoration. Then interrogate OrderlyMeds’s middle ground: its dose-flat structure removes titration repricing; if that specific thing is on your personal ledger, the $10/month over the floor can be rational — if not, the middle is where budgets go to leak. What survives is ShedRx at $289, which wins by default rather than by argument — exactly how a price index should crown things — subject to the two checks no ranking can run for you: your state at intake, and your prescriber on the medication itself.

The same trio on best published rate: ShedRx $289 → OrderlyMeds $299 → Amble Health $300 — all three price month-to-month only at capture. Short-horizon totals, monthly-billed: 3 months — ShedRx $867, OrderlyMeds $897, Amble Health $900; 6 months — ShedRx $1,734, OrderlyMeds $1,794, Amble Health $1,800. 0 of the three publish a prepaid path below their own monthly billing; the twelve- and twenty-four-month table below carries those, labeled.

The record-quality read, scored on the five checkable disclosures this index tracks (maintenance price, named pharmacy, published states, published cancellation terms, source-verified capture): ShedRx 4/5, OrderlyMeds 3/5, Amble Health 3/5. ShedRx discloses the most and OrderlyMeds the least, and in this market disclosure predicts disclosure — the axis where a program goes quiet is reliably where its checkout surprises live. The three match on every disclosure axis, which is rare and worth noting in their favor collectively. Scores recompute from the public records like everything else here.

Read as a decision: start from ShedRx and make the other two argue upward. OrderlyMeds’s case is its structure; Amble Health’s case must be worth $132 a year in named features — the honest unit being months of medication (0.5 of them at the floor rate). The pairwise pages above hold each argument in full, and the calculator holds your version of it.
