Tirzepatide
Plan pages: ShedRx plans · Care Bare Rx plans
At 10 mg/week, ShedRx is $289 a month all-in and Care Bare Rx is $199 — $90 apart, or $1,080 across a year. Over twelve months the totals are $3,468 (billed monthly) and $2,388 (billed monthly).
ShedRx prices tirzepatide by dose: $199 per month at 2.5 mg rising to $289 at 10 mg, a difference of $90 a month between the bottom and top of the ladder. The company publishes no price at 5, 7.5, 12.5, 15 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.
Care Bare Rx charges a flat $199 per month for tirzepatide at every dose from 2.5 to 15 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay.

| Month to month | $289 | $199 | Care Bare Rx by $90 |
| Settled dose | ShedRx | Care Bare Rx | Difference |

ShedRx publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; Care Bare Rx publishes none for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term. An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.
A titration year is not twelve months at the maintenance price. Stepping up roughly four weeks per dose before settling at 10 mg/week, the first twelve months work out to $3,378 on ShedRx and $2,388 on Care Bare Rx — $990 apart, and a different gap from the $1,080 you would get by multiplying the monthly difference by twelve. The ramp is cheaper than the settled rate on whichever program prices by dose, which is why a first-year quote and a steady-state quote are not the same number.
That calculation is partial: ShedRx publishes no price at 2 of the 6 doses, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 58.7 for ShedRx and 84.9 for Care Bare Rx, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. Care Bare Rx leads by 26.2 points, driven mostly by price.

| Care Bare Rx | 59.5 | 10.5 | 10 | 5 | 84.9 |

ShedRx prices semaglutide by dose: $175 per month at 0.25 mg rising to $249 at 2.4 mg, a difference of $74 a month between the bottom and top of the ladder. The company publishes no price at 0.5, 1, 1.7 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.

Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
Care Bare Rx is cheaper month to month — $199 against $289, a gap of $90 every month, or $1,080 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: ShedRx states Cancel before renewal, while Care Bare Rx states Per provider terms. Read this next to the twelve-month figures — a prepaid discount and a restrictive refund policy are the same decision.
Commitment
ShedRx asks for Month-to-month; Care Bare Rx asks for Monthly (confirm at enrollment). This is the dimension most likely to change which program is actually cheaper for you, because the lowest rates on both sides are usually attached to the longest terms.
Dose policy
Care Bare Rx charges one price at every dose; ShedRx prices by dose. That difference usually matters more than the headline gap, because the tiered program's advertised figure describes the dose you start on, not the dose you settle at.
Evidence status
The two prices are not equally well evidenced. ShedRx's figure is provider-stated and Care Bare Rx's is reported. ShedRx rests on the stronger of the two, and the Value Score below reflects that — evidence quality is worth fifteen points and is not a tiebreaker we apply after the fact.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $3,468 for ShedRx and $2,388 for Care Bare Rx. Care Bare Rx is lower by $1,080 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Membership fee
Neither charges a separate membership fee.
Shipping
Shipping is handled the same way by both — included in the quoted price.

Which one suits which reader
On the lowest standing monthly rate for tirzepatide, Care Bare Rx Official site wins this matchup. If you expect to titrate to the top of the ladder, care bare rx's flat pricing is worth more than the headline gap suggests; and if you would rather trust a better-evidenced number, shedrx's price rests on stronger provenance.
