The factor breakdown
Arc-1 on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.
Semaglutide from $200/mo (0.5 mg dose, compounded) puts Budget Fit at a below-par 55 — above the budget tiers.
Limited or undisclosed state coverage can slow your start, for a below-par 60 on Speed to Start.
Arc-1 sticks to compounded injectables, for a below-par 72 on Formulary Match.
Support lands at a below-par 64 — lighter, meds-first support.
Flexibility scores a below-par 61 — fewer levers to flex your plan.
LegitScript certification helps, but thin pricing and sourcing detail keeps Transparency at a below-par 72.

Arc-1, answered
Is Arc-1 legit?
Yes — Arc-1 is LegitScript-certified, a third-party check that a telehealth pharmacy operates within the rules. Like most programs here it dispenses compounded GLP-1s, which are made by a licensed pharmacy but aren't FDA-approved; confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake.
How much does Arc-1 cost?
Arc-1 lists compounded semaglutide from $200/mo (0.5 mg dose, compounded) and tirzepatide from $200/mo (2.5 mg dose, compounded) — above our category median of $199/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review (August 2026); confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
Does Arc-1 ship to my state?
Arc-1 doesn't publish a full state list, so confirm your state is covered during intake before you pay.
Arc-1 vs SkinnyRx — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: Arc-1 at 64/100 and SkinnyRx at 64/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Arc-1 is the better fit for patients seeking per-dose compounded GLP-1 without subscriptions. SkinnyRx suits shoppers who want a tablet as well as an injection on either molecule, and who read the term attached to an advertised rate before they read the number. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
Pricing & state data last verified August 2026 from Arc-1's public site and our master provider matrix. The Match Score and its sub-scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology. Commercial facts only — prices change, so confirm on Arc-1's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
Semaglutide here is $200/mo (0.5 mg dose, compounded) — almost exactly our category median of $199. Tirzepatide is $200/mo (2.5 mg dose, compounded). Its strongest suit is the range of medication it offers. Best suited to patients seeking per-dose compounded GLP-1 without subscriptions. If that is not you, SkinnyRx is the closest thing to it here.
