Head-to-head dispatch
AlyveRx vs ShedRx
Two GLP-1 providers, one scorecard. Both are graded on the same six Desk Score dimensions — here is how they stack up, and which one fits you.
Desk Score
AlyveRx (Alyve, Inc.) is a US online telehealth platform connecting patients with licensed providers for GLP-1 weight loss care, no insurance required, with free discreet delivery.
$183/mo (all doses, compounded) sema · $249/mo (all doses, compounded) tirz · Verified July 16, 2026
Marked down on: Does not publicly name its dispensing pharmacy or display a LegitScript seal, so third-party accreditation is unverified
Desk Score
Widest formulation spread in the ranking — injection, liquid drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill, plus a real brand Zepbound lane.
$199/mo sema · $299/mo tirz
Marked down on: The advertised "as low as $239" tirzepatide rate needs a twelve-month commitment — month-to-month is $299
ShedRx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 85/100 (B) against 69/100 (C) for AlyveRx. AlyveRx still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
