Ranked purely by the published monthly price of treatment, cheapest first. Providers whose headline figure is a per-visit consultation fee rather than a month of medication are deliberately excluded, because ranking a $39 doctor visit above a $99 medication plan would compare two different things. Read the note on each entry before you celebrate - some of these numbers are first-month promotional rates, or starting doses that get more expensive every time you titrate up.
Sorted by the monthly treatment cost each provider publishes, lowest first. Consultation-only pricing is excluded from this ranking entirely and covered on the individual reviews instead. Where a figure covers only the lowest dose, or requires a multi-month commitment, we say so in the entry rather than letting the number stand on its own. Every entry has now been checked against this rule, not just the ones we happened to research first: any provider whose published figure turned out to be a consultation fee, a membership fee, or a medication price with a mandatory fee stacked on top has been pulled out and labelled on its own review instead. Where both halves of a two-part price are published - Hims, Hers and Eden all charge for medication and membership separately - we rank the realistic combined total rather than the flattering half.
The cheapest genuine all-in rate on the site: $69/month for compounded semaglutide with the prescription, telemedicine visit and shipping included, no membership fee, and four partner pharmacies named with addresses and phone numbers.
Best point: Itemized price tables published in the terms for every product and plan: Flat Program semaglutide injection at $199/mo, dropping to $169, $159 and $149 on 3, 6 and 12-month bundles (checked July 26, 2026)
Watch out for: The advertised price is not the price in the contract. The landing page sells 'flat locked in monthly pricing' at $69/mo for semaglutide and $119/mo for tirzepatide. Neither figure appears anywhere in the terms
Membership fee: None. Embody advertises "No Monthly Membership" and flat locked-in pricing.
Best point: Prescribes FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, including the new Wegovy pill, rather than compounded copies
Watch out for: The membership fee does not include the medication. After the first month, Med+ is $74/month for the remainder of a 12-month plan, and the GLP-1 itself is billed separately on top
Best point: States explicitly that it only prescribes FDA-approved medications, so nothing here is compounded
Watch out for: The $79/month programme fee is separate from medication cost, so your total depends on what insurance covers
Membership fee: Hello Alpha runs on a membership, advertised from $29/month. Its own FAQ asks "Does Hello Alpha Membership guarantee a prescription?", so treat the membership and any medication as separate costs.
Best point: Among the lowest advertised prices in the category: compounded semaglutide from $88/month and tirzepatide from $157/month (checked July 26, 2026)
Watch out for: Sunlight describes its compounded products as 'clinically proven to support weight loss'. Compounded drugs have not been through the trials that phrase implies, and the FDA has issued warning letters to other telehealth firms over claims of this type
Best point: The membership price is stated plainly and repeatedly: $89/month, with medical visits, daily monitoring, coaching and member content included (checked July 27, 2026)
Watch out for: Two different first-month discounts appear on the same page: a banner offering '50% off First month membership with code JRNY50' and body copy repeatedly stating 'First month deal: 25% off'
Membership fee: A membership model, discounted heavily in the first month - 25% off is advertised on one page and 50% off on another, which makes the ongoing rate the number that matters.
Best point: Very affordable
Watch out for: Basic service
Best point: The lowest advertised GLP-1 pricing we have found: $97 for the standard GLP-1 injection and $77 for the microdose plan (checked July 27, 2026)
Watch out for: The refund policy gives you no defined entitlement. It states IVY RX is 'unable to accept returns' and then invites you to 'contact us so we can work together to find a solution' - there is no stated circumstance in which you are owed money back
Best point: Comprehensive care
Watch out for: Higher pricing
Membership fee: None. CoreAge states "No membership fees ever" and that your refill price never changes.
Compounded GLP-1s from $99/month with flat pricing as your dose increases, plus non-GLP-1 options from $49/month. Found also bills insurance for the clinical visits, which most of this list does not.
Best point: Publishes cash prices for brand-name drugs openly, which almost no competitor does: Ozempic $1,100/mo, Mounjaro around $1,100/mo, and Wegovy and Zepbound from $650/mo
Watch out for: On the branded route the medication cost is separate from your Found membership, so the advertised membership discounts do not touch the $650-$1,100 monthly drug bill unless insurance covers it
Membership fee: A membership plan, with up to $100 off currently advertised. Longer 3, 6 and 12-month plans lower the monthly cost.
Best point: The branded-drug pricing model is the most cost-honest we have seen: $50 + cost of medication for the Wegovy pill, and $65 + medication for Wegovy or Zepbound, with the drug supplied through the manufacturer's own direct programme rather than marked up
Watch out for: The core compounded offering is microdosing, which is not an evidence-based protocol. The trials behind semaglutide and tirzepatide used full therapeutic doses; there is no comparable evidence for the lower doses sold here, and AgelessRx's own wording only claims it 'may support moderate weight loss'
Membership fee: Subscription-based products bill automatically at the interval chosen at checkout.
Best point: Four GLP-1 options are laid out side by side with prices: semaglutide from $99/mo, microdosed tirzepatide from $116/mo, oral tirzepatide from $129/mo and tirzepatide from $139/mo (checked July 28, 2026)
Watch out for: The 'Trustpilot Rated 4.9' badge overstates the real figure, which is 4.3 from only 7 reviews. Neither number is a meaningful sample
Best point: Multiple medications
Watch out for: Generic branding
Best point: Most affordable
Watch out for: Medication costs separate
Best point: Low cost
Watch out for: Basic service
Best point: Offers FDA-approved brand-name options alongside compounded ones: the Wegovy pill, Wegovy injection and Zepbound injection are all listed at '$99 membership + medication cost'
Watch out for: The FDA issued MEDVi a warning letter on February 20, 2026 for misbranding its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, including for labelling vials as though MEDVi compounded them when it does not, and for 'same active ingredient as Wegovy' style claims the agency said imply FDA approval. This is the most serious regulatory finding against any provider on this site
Membership fee: MEDVi advertises "No membership or hidden fees" on the programme, though a "$99 Membership + Medication Cost" option also appears on the site.
Insurance coverage, if you can get it - a covered brand-name GLP-1 can cost $25 a month with a manufacturer savings card. Without coverage, manufacturer direct pricing (from roughly $149 a month) and flat-rate compounded programmes are the realistic options. The very cheapest advertised prices are almost always consultation fees with the drug billed separately.
Four common reasons: the price is a first-month promotion, the price covers only the starting dose, the price is per day rather than per month, or the price is the consultation and not the medication. Check which of the four applies before comparing two providers.
Compounded medications are not FDA-reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality, so "cheap" and "safe" are independent questions. What you can check is the specifics: a named 503A pharmacy, third-party batch testing, an available Certificate of Analysis and cold-chain shipping. Price alone tells you nothing.

This page is editorial research, not medical advice. GLP-1 medications are prescription drugs with real risks and contraindications, and a ranking cannot tell you whether one is right for you. Only a licensed clinician who knows your history can do that. Prices and policies in this market change frequently - confirm the current terms with any provider before you buy.
