Head-to-head comparison

MadeMed vs Prime Doctor 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.

Ranked #27Desk pick
MadeMed

Publishes its price at every single dose, so what month six costs is knowable on day one.

$239/mo (3-month prepay) sema · $399/mo (3-month prepay) tirz · Verified August 2026

Marked down on: The most expensive tirzepatide here at $399/mo, and quarterly billing means the smallest charge on the site is $657 up front

vs
Ranked #186
Prime Doctor RX

The whole ladder is public and the asterisk is honest — but the billing cycle is 28 days and every price is labeled per month anyway.

$249 per 4 weeks sema · $339 per 4 weeks tirz · Verified September 2026

Marked down on: Its own arithmetic proves the 28-day cycle — $3,497 divided by thirteen is exactly $269, and nothing on the page divides cleanly by calendar months.

MadeMed takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 82/100 (B−) against 70/100 (C) for Prime Doctor RX. Prime Doctor RX still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
