Head-to-head comparison
Shed vs Solaya MD
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
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 · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The advertised "as low as $239" tirzepatide rate needs a twelve-month commitment — month-to-month is $299
Desk Score
Solaya MD lists its 50 states by name and names both its pharmacy and a prescriber with an NPI, but publishes one unscoped $185 floor and keeps every real rate behind an account.
Marked down on: The only public figure is a $185 starting price, and it names neither semaglutide nor tirzepatide nor a billing cycle.
Shed takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 88/100 (B+) against 73/100 (C) for Solaya MD. Solaya MD still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
