Head-to-head comparison
Edessa vs No BS RX
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
Clean three-rung tables one click in, behind a homepage whose three cards all quote six-month rungs and whose cheapest belongs to a different drug.
$179/mo sema · $239/mo tirz · Verified September 2026
Marked down on: The homepage leads with "Start for just $135", a six-month prepay on the semaglutide injection; month-to-month tirzepatide is $239.
Desk Score
Six programs across four terms on one public page, four dispensing pharmacies named with addresses, and a no-intro-rate promise the arithmetic actually supports.
$179/mo sema · $249/mo tirz · Verified September 2026
Marked down on: The same $409 twelve-week block appears under three different monthly rates — a $11 saving against one and a $128 saving against another, presented identically.
No BS RX takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 82/100 (B−) against 74/100 (C) for Edessa. Edessa still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
