§ Side by side

§ Each record, read aloud

The two records, condensed

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.

Nothing recurs on top: no membership, no platform fee, no “provider access” line. The $299 is the whole subscription, which makes OrderlyMeds unusually easy to compare and unusually easy to leave.

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.

There is no membership line. $149 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.

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.

Yucca Health: the record, condensed

Yucca Health’s tirzepatide program bills $258 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 Yucca 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.

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: #2 of 17 verified programs, with the floor $43/month below at NexLife ($215); the approved-product yardstick (Zepbound (LillyDirect)) sits at $449, so the compounded case here is worth $191 a month. A year at this figure: $3,096 monthly-billed.

Tirzepatide: the duel in full

Put the two tirzepatide figures side by side and hold them there: Yucca Health at $258, OrderlyMeds at $299 — a $41 monthly spread that compounds to $492 over a maintenance year and $984 over two.

Both figures are dose-flat, which is the cleanest possible comparison: two ceilings, no titration surprises on either side, and the $41 gap is exactly what it appears to be.

Semaglutide: the duel in full

The semaglutide arithmetic between these two is short: $146 (Yucca Health) against $149 (OrderlyMeds). $3 a month sounds survivable; $36 a year is a decision.

Both figures are dose-flat, which is the cleanest possible comparison: two ceilings, no titration surprises on either side, and the $3 gap is exactly what it appears to be.

A way to feel the $41 monthly gap: over a year it funds 1.9 extra months at Yucca Health’s own rate — the difference is not decoration, it is medication. Over two years it compounds to $984, which is the horizon at which structural details (prepaid ladders, membership drag, dose-tier repricing) start mattering more than the sticker itself.

Run the same two programs on the committed basis: OrderlyMeds $299/mo month-to-month against Yucca Health $258/mo month-to-month. The order holds: Yucca Health leads on both readings, so plan structure sharpens the verdict here rather than reversing it. Whichever basis fits your commitment level, the upfront totals above are the honest units.

§ The clock, run forward

Three, six, twelve, twenty-four months — best path each way

3 months: OrderlyMeds $897 monthly; Yucca Health $774 monthly — best path favors Yucca Health by $123. 6 months: OrderlyMeds $1,794 monthly; Yucca Health $1,548 monthly — best path favors Yucca Health by $246. 12 months: OrderlyMeds $3,588 monthly; Yucca Health $3,096 monthly — best path favors Yucca Health by $492. 24 months: OrderlyMeds $7,176 monthly; Yucca Health $6,192 monthly — best path favors Yucca Health by $984.

Prepaid paths above are billed upfront and assume the published rate holds (the 24-month figures extend the 12-month rate, an assumption worth naming). The honest reading: over short horizons the monthly gap decides; over long horizons the prepaid ladders and structural traps (dose tiers, memberships) take over — which is exactly the split the verdict section below scores.

The same clock, on semaglutide

3 mo: OrderlyMeds $447 vs Yucca Health $438 — $9 to Yucca Health. 6 mo: OrderlyMeds $894 vs Yucca Health $876 — $18 to Yucca Health. 12 mo: OrderlyMeds $1,788 vs Yucca Health $1,752 — $36 to Yucca Health. 24 mo: OrderlyMeds $3,576 vs Yucca Health $3,504 — $72 to Yucca Health.

Same rules as above: prepaid figures are upfront commitments, and the 24-month lines extend the 12-month rate as a stated assumption. Where the two molecules crown different winners between these two programs, that split is itself the finding — molecule choice and provider choice are separate decisions.

§ Structure vs structure

Everything besides the price

Coverage: OrderlyMeds publishes “not published”; Yucca Health publishes “not published” — for anything short of an explicit 50-state claim, intake is the final word.

Neither names its pharmacy publicly — the single most useful disclosure in this category, missing on both sides; ask each, in writing, before paying either.

Exit terms: OrderlyMeds — none stated; not published. Yucca Health — 6-month term; 6-month term applies.

Evidence: OrderlyMeds no public price (captured 2026-08-05); Yucca Health source-verified (2026-08-05). Where a figure is stated-not-verified, weight it accordingly — it is a claim we could not capture on the company’s own pages.

The pattern worth internalizing: in this market, structural honesty and price honesty travel together. Programs that publish pharmacies and state lists tend to publish real maintenance prices; programs that hide one usually hide the other.

In the full tirzepatide index these two sit at #8 and #2 of 17: between them lie 5 other programs, and the whole ladder is at cheapest tirzepatide providers. In the full semaglutide index these two sit at #4 and #2 of 20: between them lie 1 other program, and the whole ladder is at cheapest semaglutide providers.

§ If you move

Switching between OrderlyMeds and Yucca Health

Prescriptions do not transfer like phone numbers: moving in either direction means completing the destination’s intake and having its prescriber write a new patient-specific prescription. The mechanics that prevent a bad month: confirm the destination serves your state and quotes your current dose in writing before cancelling anything; time the first new shipment to overlap the last old one rather than gap it; cancel the origin per its published terms (OrderlyMeds: not published; Yucca Health: 6-month term applies) and screenshot the confirmation; and never leave a prepaid balance stranded — which is the standing argument for prepaying only after a program has already earned a few monthly cycles.
