How comparable are orforglipron and semaglutide on the evidence available?

What I am working with: orforglipron · semaglutide.

Both of these get recommended confidently by different people, which suggests neither is obviously right.

My constraints are cost, measurement resolution and how much handling I am prepared to do — in roughly that order.

Under what conditions does the answer flip?
