The short answer
ShedRx is $289 a month all-in for tirzepatide; Fridays is $359. Over twelve months that is $3,468 against $4,308. Value Scores are 58.7 and 60.7 out of 100.
Tirzepatide
Plan pages: ShedRx plans · Fridays plans
At 10 mg/week, ShedRx is $289 a month all-in and Fridays is $359 — $70 apart, or $840 across a year. Over twelve months the totals are $3,468 (billed monthly) and $4,308 (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.
Fridays charges a flat $359 per month for tirzepatide at every dose from 2.5 to 15 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay.
| Dose | ShedRx | Rank | Fridays | Rank | Cheaper |

| 12.5 mg | — | — | $359 | 13/17 | only Fridays publishes |
| 15 mg | — | — | $359 | 13/17 | only Fridays publishes |
ShedRx is cheaper at every dose where both publish a price, so the lead does not change as you titrate.
Across the 27 programs this database can rank on tirzepatide, ShedRx sits 8 of 27 on all-in monthly cost and Fridays sits 18. There are 9 other programs priced between them. The field median is $339 and the floor is $169, so ShedRx is below the median and the other is above it. ShedRx is $120 above the cheapest tirzepatide program on record.

ShedRx publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; Fridays 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 An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.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 $4,308 on Fridays — $930 apart, and a different gap from the $840 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 60.7 for Fridays, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. Fridays leads by 2.0 points, driven mostly by price.
| Program | Price /70 | Evidence /15 | Dose /10 | Membership /5 | Total /100 |

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.
Fridays charges a flat $175 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 lead changes with the dose. Between 0.25 mg and 2.4 mg it passes to Fridays. Pick on the dose you expect to settle at, not the headline.
Value Scores are 54.0 for ShedRx and 79.3 for Fridays, against a semaglutide category floor of $129. Fridays leads by 25.3 points, driven mostly by price.
Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
ShedRx is cheaper month to month — $289 against $359, a gap of $70 every month, or $840 across a year if both rates hold.
Dose policy
Fridays 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.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $3,468 for ShedRx and $4,308 for Fridays. ShedRx is lower by $840 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Cancellation terms
Both state the same cancellation terms: Cancel before renewal.
Commitment
Commitment terms read the same on both: Month-to-month.
Evidence status
Both figures carry the same evidence status, provider-stated: taken from the provider's own published pages; checkout capture pending. Neither is stronger than the other on provenance.

Neither program publishes a promotional rate with an end date, a prepaid term, or a price we have flagged for re-verification, so the comparison above is as stable as this dataset gets.
