HealthRX publishes no rate for month to month, 6-month term; TMates publishes none for 3-month term, 6-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 An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.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 $2,508 on HealthRX and $3,564 on TMates. 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: TMates 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 82.1 for HealthRX and 55.3 for TMates, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. HealthRX leads by 26.8 points, driven mostly by price.

HealthRX charges a flat $133 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.
TMates charges a flat $249 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. 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
HealthRX is cheaper month to month — $209 against $297, a gap of $88 every month, or $1,056 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: HealthRX states Per provider terms; confirm at enrollment, while TMates 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
HealthRX asks for 12-month or 3-month plans only; no month-to-month rate published; TMates asks for 12-month plan or month-to-month; substantial difference in rates. 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
HealthRX charges one price at every dose; TMates 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.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $2,148 for HealthRX and $2,004 for TMates. TMates is lower by $144 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Evidence status
Both figures carry the same evidence status, reported: sourced from dated third-party reporting; first-party capture pending. Neither is stronger than the other on provenance.
Membership fee
Neither charges a separate membership fee.
Shipping
Shipping is handled the same way by both — included in the quoted price.

Ask HealthRX and TMates for each of those in writing before enrolling. A gap is not evidence of a problem; it does mean nothing can be checked against it.
What would change this answer
Evidence may be upgraded. HealthRX, TMates carry a price we have not captured at checkout. A capture would move the evidence term and could reorder these two without any price changing.
Prepaid terms move the annual figures. HealthRX publishes a twelve-month rate of $179 a month against $209 month-to-month; TMates publishes a twelve-month rate of $167 a month against $297 month-to-month. Read those next to the cancellation terms, not the monthly rate.
