Yucca Health publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) 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 An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.

Stepping up roughly four weeks per dose before settling at 2.4 mg/week, the first twelve months work out to $1,752 on Yucca Health and $4,188 on NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy). 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.
Value Scores are 89.6 for Yucca Health and 45.9 for NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy), against a semaglutide category floor of $129. Yucca Health leads by 43.7 points, driven mostly by price.

Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
Yucca Health is cheaper month to month — $146 against $349, a gap of $203 every month, or $2,436 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: Yucca Health states Cancel before renewal, while NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) states No subscription lock. Read this next to the twelve-month figures — a prepaid discount and a restrictive refund policy are the same decision.
Commitment
Yucca Health asks for Month-to-month; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) asks for None. 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
Yucca Health charges one price at every dose; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) 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. Yucca Health's figure is provider-stated and NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy)'s is verified. NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) 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 $1,752 for Yucca Health and $4,188 for NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy). Yucca Health is lower by $2,436 — 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 molecules each one carries
