The short answer
Yucca Health is $258 a month all-in for tirzepatide; ShedRx is $289. Over twelve months that is $3,096 against $3,468. Value Scores are 73.6 and 58.7 out of 100.
Tirzepatide
Plan pages: Yucca Health plans · ShedRx plans
At 10 mg/week, Yucca Health is $258 a month all-in and ShedRx is $289 — $31 apart, or $372 across a year. Over twelve months the totals are $3,096 (billed monthly) and $3,468 (billed monthly).
Yucca Health charges a flat $258 per month for tirzepatide at every dose from 2.5 to 15 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay.
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.

The lead changes with the dose. Between 2.5 mg and 10 mg it passes to Yucca Health. Pick on the dose you expect to settle at, not the headline.

| Plan term | Yucca Health | ShedRx | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month to month | $258 | $289 | Yucca Health by $31 |
| Settled dose | Yucca Health | ShedRx | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | $3,096 | $2,388 | $708 apart |
| 5 mg | $3,096 | — | one side unpriced |

Yucca Health publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; ShedRx 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 An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.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 $3,096 on Yucca Health and $3,378 on ShedRx — $282 apart, and a different gap from the $372 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 them, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 73.6 for Yucca Health and 58.7 for ShedRx, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. Yucca Health leads by 14.9 points, and the margin comes from structure rather than price alone.
| Program | Price /70 | Evidence /15 | Dose /10 | Membership /5 | Total /100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yucca Health | 45.9 | 12.8 | 10 | 5 | 73.6 |
| ShedRx | 40.9 | 12.8 | 0 | 5 | 58.7 |

Plan pages: Yucca Health plans · ShedRx plans
At 2.4 mg/week, Yucca Health is $146 a month all-in and ShedRx is $249 — $103 apart, or $1,236 across a year. Over twelve months the totals are $1,752 (billed monthly) and $2,988 (billed monthly).
Yucca Health charges a flat $146 per month for semaglutide at every dose from 0.25 to 2.4 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay.
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.
Yucca Health is cheaper at every dose where both publish a price, so the lead does not change as you titrate.
Value Scores are 89.6 for Yucca Health and 54.0 for ShedRx, against a semaglutide category floor of $129. Yucca Health leads by 35.6 points, driven mostly by price.
Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
Yucca Health is cheaper month to month — $258 against $289, a gap of $31 every month, or $372 across a year if both rates hold.
Dose policy

Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $3,096 for Yucca Health and $3,468 for ShedRx. Yucca Health is lower by $372 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
