GLP-1 Price Index

GLP-1 telehealth pricing is one of the most confusing consumer-health pricing categories online right now.
Two programs can both look “cheap” while selling fundamentally different things. One may be a flat cash-pay compounded medication program. Another may be a clinic membership where medication is billed separately. A third may show the lowest possible entry point while saying much less about what happens at higher doses. A fourth may bundle support, shipping, and medication into one clear number. The result is that most readers are not actually comparing prices. They are comparing pricing systems.
The FDA has proposed excluding semaglutide and liraglutide from the 503B bulk compounding list, with public comments open through June 29, 2026. If finalized, this could affect the availability, pricing, and continuity of some compounded GLP-1 programs. We will update this page as the regulatory situation develops.
This page exists to make that easier.
Important: Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished drug products. They are not equivalent to branded drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Zepbound. Compounded GLP-1 medications differ in formulation, regulation, and approval status. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider.
WeightWatchers Clinic Note: WeightWatchers Clinic requires a 12-month membership commitment. Some medication costs may be included depending on plan tier — confirm details before enrolling.
Direct Meds Note: Direct Meds is a telehealth access platform that connects patients with providers and compounding pharmacies — it is not a pharmacy itself. Medication is dispensed by licensed compounding pharmacies partnered with the platform.
The GLP-1 Price Index is RangeYourself’s ongoing editorial pricing reference for major GLP-1 telehealth programs. It is designed to help readers compare: starting monthly cost, whether the price changes at higher doses, what is included, whether insurance meaningfully applies (note: insurance coverage for GLP-1 medications varies widely by plan, provider, and medication type — coverage is not guaranteed), whether the provider is selling compounded medication, branded medication, or a clinic/insurance-navigation model, and how clearly the company explains cancellation and subscription terms.
This is not our “best picks” page. It is our pricing reference page.

Methodology summary
This index is built from provider pricing pages, product pages, FAQ pages, support pages, and editorial verification of the public offer as of April 22, 2026. When pricing is incomplete, contradictory, or not clearly disclosed on the provider’s own site, we say so.
A few methodology notes matter up front:
- Compounded cash-pay programs and brand-name/insurance-navigation programs are not the same kind of offer. We include both because readers compare them anyway, but they should not be read as identical pricing models.
- WeightWatchers Clinic is a membership model, not an all-in medication price. Its listed monthly fee does not include medication. WeightWatchers Clinic requires a 12-month membership commitment. Some medication costs may be included depending on plan tier — confirm details before enrolling.
- FuturHealth is the only provider in this index positioned around FDA-approved branded medication. That makes it structurally different from the compounded offers in this set.
- Wellorithm is the least transparent row in the table. The pricing used here was not available on its public website and had to be sourced from a third-party review. That is a transparency problem, not a small footnote.
- Embody’s $99 versus $149 discrepancy is resolved. Those are different products: semaglutide injection versus GLP-1/GIP compound.
Where a provider’s public pricing is incomplete, the lack of clarity is treated as editorially meaningful. Transparency is part of value.
Main comparison table
The table below is ordered by medication model, not affiliate economics.
| Provider | Medication Model | Starting Price | Higher-Dose Pricing | What’s Included | Insurance | Subscription / Billing | Cancellation | Editorial Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CareBareRX | Compounded semaglutide + tirzepatide | $199/mo | Same price every dose | Prescription + telemed + free shipping | No insurance required | Unclear | Less prominent publicly | Competitive low-cost compounded option, but weaker policy transparency |
| Embody | Compounded semaglutide injection / GLP-1-GIP compound | $99–$149/mo | Unclear | Doctor-led plans, coaching, free expedited delivery | Unclear | Likely yes | Unclear | Low entry pricing, but still less transparent than the strongest entries |
| Sprout Health | Compounded GLP-1 / GIP-GLP-1 | $249/mo | Flat — does not increase with dose | Ongoing care + shipping, no contracts | No | Monthly | Cancel anytime | One of the cleanest public pricing models in the category |
| Wellorithm | Compounded semaglutide + tirzepatide + tablets | $147/mo sema / $249/mo tirz | Unclear | Unclear — pricing not on website | Unclear | Unclear | Unclear | Included for market coverage, but weakest transparency row |
| Direct Meds | Semaglutide + tirzepatide + sublingual | $249 oral / $297 sema / $497 tirz | Appears flat by product | All-inclusive: medication, nurse, shipping, follow-ups | HSA/FSA | No subscriptions stated | Not prominent | Strong product-level transparency. Note: Direct Meds is a telehealth access platform that connects patients with providers and compounding pharmacies — it is not a pharmacy itself. |
| TMates | Semaglutide + tirzepatide | $158 sema / $167 tirz on 12-month plan; $249 / $297 monthly | Same price all doses on product pages | Medical evaluation + free shipping | Unclear | Plan-based | Cancel anytime stated | Strong budget row, but commitment structure matters |
| FuturHealth | FDA-approved branded medication | From $299/mo | Unclear | Branded meds, Apple Fitness+, 24/7 support | Yes — insurance navigation | Monthly | Cancel anytime stated | The clearest branded-medication row in the index |
| WeightWatchers Clinic | Insurance-navigation / clinic membership | $25/mo first 2 months, then $74/mo | Medication separate | Clinic membership + clinician + insurance navigation | Yes — core model | 12-month plan | Auto-renews annually | Useful insurance-first pathway, but not an all-in medication price |
GLP-1 medication pricing typically increases as dosage titrates up over the first 3–6 months. Prices shown are starting-dose prices unless otherwise noted. (As of April 2026 — verify current pricing on each provider’s site.)
How to use this data
The fastest way to misuse this page is to treat the lowest visible number as the cheapest real-world option.
- Separate the models first: compounded cash-pay programs, branded-medication access, and clinic/insurance-navigation memberships are not directly interchangeable.
- Ask what the listed price actually buys: medication, clinical support, shipping, refill management, membership only, or insurance-navigation only.
- Check whether the price changes at higher doses.
- Compare flexibility, not just the monthly rate.
- Treat unclear pricing as a real downside.
Market observations
The market is split between simple cash-pay offers and more complex support models. The cleanest compounded offers try to answer “What will I pay this month?” The insurance-navigation and clinic models answer a different question: “Can I get support accessing branded medication?”
Flat pricing is still relatively rare and valuable. Sprout Health stands out because it explicitly says the price does not increase with dose.
Plan-length pricing can create a soft commitment. TMates looks extremely competitive on effective monthly price, but the lowest rates depend on plan length.
Public transparency still varies a lot. The biggest transparency gap in this index belongs to Wellorithm. A pricing row can be included for editorial completeness and still raise a red flag if the provider does not publish the most important numbers on its own site.
Branded medication is still a different lane. FuturHealth is the only row here positioned around FDA-approved branded medication rather than compounded access.
Membership pricing is the easiest thing to misread. WeightWatchers Clinic’s $25 to $74 monthly pricing can look dramatically cheaper than the compounded rows if you skim. It is not a fair apples-to-apples medication comparison because the medication cost is separate.
Program-by-program breakdowns
CareBareRX
Starting price: $199/month
Medication model: Compounded semaglutide + tirzepatide
Higher-dose behavior: Same price every dose
What’s included: Prescription, telemed, free shipping
Insurance: No insurance required
Subscription: Unclear
Cancellation: Less prominent publicly
CareBareRX is one of the strongest low-cost compounded rows in the index. At a headline level, it has an attractive consumer story: low starting price, same price every dose, telemed included, and free shipping. That makes it one of the more compelling “cheap but relatively simple” offers on the page.
The drawback is not the monthly number. It is the weaker public policy transparency around the rest of the offer. The cancellation picture is less prominent than on the strongest transparency leaders, and the overall pricing story is still more promotional than fully reference-grade.
Best for: Readers who want a low-cost compounded option without relying on insurance
Less ideal for: Readers who want the strongest public documentation of billing and policy terms
Transparency note: Good price story, mid-tier policy visibility

Embody
Starting price: $99 semaglutide injection / $149 GLP-1/GIP compound
Medication model: Compounded semaglutide injection and GLP-1/GIP compound
Higher-dose behavior: Unclear
What’s included: Doctor-led plans, coaching, free expedited delivery
Insurance: Unclear
Subscription: Likely yes
Cancellation: Unclear
Embody is one of the most attention-grabbing offers in the index because of the low visible entry pricing. The key clarification is that the $99 and $149 figures are not a contradiction. They refer to different products.
That resolves the earlier pricing conflict, but it does not fully eliminate the transparency caution. Embody still sits in the “interesting but not fully as legible as the best rows” category because the higher-dose picture and broader billing structure are less clearly surfaced than they are for the strongest transparency-first programs.
Best for: Readers drawn to low entry pricing and different product formats
Less ideal for: Readers who want the cleanest all-in cost structure before they click
Transparency note: Better than a pure teaser page, but still not a top transparency row

Sprout Health
Starting price: $249/month
Medication model: Compounded GLP-1 / GIP-GLP-1
Higher-dose behavior: Flat — does not increase with dose
What’s included: Ongoing care, shipping, no contracts
Insurance: No
Subscription: Monthly
Cancellation: Cancel anytime
Sprout Health remains one of the strongest editorial rows in the index because the pricing story is unusually straightforward. A flat $249/month, dose stability, included shipping, and no-contract framing make it one of the easiest rows here for a reader to actually understand.
It is not the lowest number in the index. It is one of the cleanest. For many readers, that matters more than chasing the absolute cheapest teaser rate.
Best for: Readers who want a predictable compounded cash-pay monthly number
Less ideal for: Readers who want insurance-first branded access
Transparency note: One of the strongest public pricing rows in the market
Links: Visit provider | Compare it on Cheapest GLP-1 Programs
Wellorithm
Starting price: $147/month semaglutide / $249/month tirzepatide
Medication model: Compounded semaglutide + tirzepatide + tablets
Higher-dose behavior: Unclear
What’s included: Unclear
Insurance: Unclear
Subscription: Unclear
Cancellation: Unclear
Wellorithm is included because readers comparing the field will encounter it, but this is the weakest transparency row in the index.
The pricing used here was not available on the provider’s own public website and had to be sourced from a third-party review. That means the row is useful as a market reference point, but it should not be treated with the same confidence as a program that clearly publishes its own costs.
That is an editorially important distinction. An index like this should not hide the company. It also should not pretend the transparency issue does not matter.
Best for: Readers who want broad market coverage and are willing to verify details directly
Less ideal for: Readers who want a high-confidence, public-website-verifiable price comparison
Transparency note: Lowest-confidence row in the index
Links: Visit provider | Read more on How GLP-1 Telehealth Pricing Works
Direct Meds
Starting price: $249 oral / $297 semaglutide / $497 tirzepatide
Medication model: Semaglutide, tirzepatide, and sublingual
Higher-dose behavior: Appears flat by product
What’s included: Medication, nurse support, shipping, follow-ups
Insurance: HSA/FSA
Subscription: No subscriptions stated
Cancellation: Not prominent publicly
Direct Meds is one of the strongest rows in the index for readers who care about product-level pricing clarity. The public offer tells a more legible story than many competitor pages do.
The tradeoff is that the tirzepatide price is meaningfully higher than some of the lowest-cost rows in the market, and the cancellation story is not as front-and-center as the best month-to-month transparency examples.
Best for: Readers who want more explicit product-based price visibility
Less ideal for: Readers shopping for the cheapest injectable tirzepatide path
Transparency note: Strong on pricing, weaker on exit-policy visibility
Links: Visit provider | See Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide
TMates
Starting price: $158 semaglutide / $167 tirzepatide on 12-month plan; $249 / $297 monthly
Medication model: Semaglutide + tirzepatide
Higher-dose behavior: Same price all doses on product pages
What’s included: Medical evaluation, free shipping
Insurance: Unclear
Subscription: Plan-based
Cancellation: Cancel anytime stated
TMates is the strongest budget row in the index if you are willing to read the pricing structure carefully. The low effective monthly rates are real, but they depend on plan length. That means the cheapest version of the offer is also the version with more commitment friction.
For readers who can accept that, TMates is one of the most compelling value rows here. For readers who want simple month-to-month comparison without plan math, the attractiveness depends more on the higher monthly numbers.
Best for: Readers optimizing hard for price and comfortable with plan-based economics
Less ideal for: Readers who want the cheapest true month-to-month comparison with minimal structure
Transparency note: Strong budget story, but plan-length terms matter a lot
Links: Visit provider | Compare it on Cheapest GLP-1 Programs
FuturHealth
Starting price: From $299/month
Medication model: FDA-approved branded medication
Higher-dose behavior: Unclear
What’s included: Branded meds, Apple Fitness+, 24/7 support
Insurance: Yes — insurance navigation
Subscription: Monthly
Cancellation: Cancel anytime stated
FuturHealth is the single most important structural outlier in the index because it is the only provider here offering FDA-approved branded medication.
That means a reader comparing FuturHealth’s $299 to a compounded program’s $199 is not making a like-for-like comparison. The product type is different, the regulatory pathway is different, and the insurance relevance is different.
Best for: Readers who want a branded-medication-oriented pathway
Less ideal for: Readers who only want the lowest compounded monthly cost
Transparency note: Different model, so direct row-to-row price comparison needs care
Links: Visit provider | See GLP-1 Programs That Accept Insurance
WeightWatchers Clinic
Starting price: $25/month for the first 2 months, then $74/month
Medication model: Clinic membership / insurance navigation
Higher-dose behavior: Medication separate
What’s included: Clinic membership, clinician, insurance navigation
Insurance: Yes — core model
Subscription: 12-month plan
Cancellation: Auto-renews annually
WeightWatchers Clinic is one of the most useful and one of the easiest rows to misread. The monthly fee is not the medication price.
If a reader sees “$25/month” and assumes that is the total GLP-1 cost, they are making a category error. WeightWatchers Clinic is a membership-first model that helps navigate insurance coverage for branded medication. The monthly number buys access to the clinic, the clinician, and the insurance-navigation support — not the medication itself.
Best for: Readers who want insurance support and clinician-guided branded-medication access
Less ideal for: Readers looking for a one-number all-in monthly medication comparison
Transparency note: Clearer than many about being a membership, but still easy to misuse in comparisons

FAQ
What is the cheapest GLP-1 telehealth program in this index?
That depends on what you mean by cheapest. TMates has the lowest effective monthly figures on its 12-month plan structure, while CareBareRX has one of the lowest simple starting prices. WeightWatchers Clinic has the lowest visible monthly membership fee, but that number does not include medication.
Are all of these providers selling the same kind of product?
No. This index includes compounded cash-pay programs, a branded-medication pathway, and an insurance-navigation / clinic membership model.
Which provider is the only one offering FDA-approved branded medication?
FuturHealth.
Why is Wellorithm marked as low-confidence?
Because the pricing was not available on the provider’s own public website and had to be sourced from a third-party review.
Why do some prices look much cheaper than others?
Because some rows are all-in medication programs, while others are membership or support models.
Does the cheapest starting price usually stay the cheapest at higher doses?
Not always. That is why the higher-dose pricing column matters.
Which row is easiest to compare as a simple monthly cash-pay program?
Sprout Health.
Why is WeightWatchers Clinic in the same table if medication is separate?
Because readers genuinely compare these models. It belongs in the index but must be read differently.
Is a branded-medication path always more expensive than compounded?
Not always. A branded path can become competitive if insurance works well.
What should I check before signing up?
Whether the price includes medication, whether higher-dose pricing is clear, whether the offer is compounded or branded, whether the cheapest rate depends on a long plan, and whether cancellation and renewal terms are visible.
