Head-to-head comparison
Andrew Meds vs Oria Meds
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
Andrew Meds prices both molecules openly and says which 44 states can be treated by questionnaire alone — then routes every Get Started button on its semaglutide page to a different, cheaper program.
From $199/mo sema · From $299/mo tirz · Verified September 2026
Marked down on: Every Get Started button on the compounded semaglutide page opens a microdosing program at $99 a month, and that word appears nowhere else on the site.
Desk Score
Oria Meds names PerfectRx with an address and phone number, then hides its ladder behind 27 intake screens where the longer plans cost more per month than paying monthly.
From $199/mo sema · From $369/mo tirz · Verified September 2026
Marked down on: The homepage sells starting prices of $149 and $249 that appear nowhere in the intake, where the plans are $199 and $369.
Andrew Meds takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 79/100 (C+) against 63/100 (C) for Oria Meds. Oria Meds still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
