Head-to-head comparison
Solaya MD vs Vaylen
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
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.
Desk Score
The strongest all-rounder among the newer entrants — low pricing, brand access, oral routes, and all 50 states on one account.
$179/mo sema · $239/mo tirz
Marked down on: Newer operator with a shorter track record
Vaylen takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 90/100 (A−) against 73/100 (C) for Solaya MD. Solaya MD still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
