The most affordable GLP-1 programs in 2026 are the cash-pay telehealth providers that publish their pricing openly and include the medication in it. As of the latest price check (September 17, 2026), the lowest verified all-in price we track is $69/mo, shared by 1 programs: Embody. This page compares how the affordable programs are priced, promotional rates, plan-term rates, entry-dose rates and split membership-plus-medication bills, because those structures are what make two identical headline numbers cost different amounts over a year.
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. The FDA has warned that some compounded products use salt forms of semaglutide, such as semaglutide sodium or semaglutide acetate, which it considers different active ingredients from the approved drug. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider.
The FDA has proposed excluding semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide from the 503B bulk compounding list, citing no identified clinical need. The public comment period, extended to July 30, 2026, has now closed. 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.
Quick Summary
Cheapest verified all-in price: $69/mo, held jointly by Embody, each on a different term (latest price check September 17, 2026).
Cheapest without a plan commitment: the programs whose own price-type label names no 12-month, annual or prepay term, which is its own ranking rather than a slice of this one, see the month-to-month list.
Cheapest with no separate membership fee: $69/mo across 19 qualifying programs (full list).
Cheapest compounded tirzepatide: $119/mo (full ranking).
The four ways an “affordable” GLP-1 price is actually built
Every number below is a real published price. What separates them is the condition attached, and the condition is what decides your first payment and your 12-month total.
| Pricing structure | What it means for your bill | Example from our registry |
|---|---|---|
| Plan-term rate (12-month or annual) | The low monthly figure is contingent on the term. Some bill monthly across the year; at least one charges the year up front, so the first payment is many times the monthly number. | bmiMD Compounded, $119–$159/mo ('Same price at every dose'): 12-mo $119, 6-mo $129, 3-mo $149, 1-mo $159. Verified 2026-09-03 in a real browser on bmimd.com/compounded-semaglutide/. This is an across-the-board increase from the prior $99–$129 ladder (recorded in the 2026-08-21 priceHistory entry).; Trimi Compounded, $99/mo on the annual plan, BILLED YEARLY ($1,188/yr up front). Verified 2026-08-21 (unchanged since 2026-07-14).; HealthRX Compounded, $99/mo on the 12-month plan; $119/mo on the 6-month plan; from $133/mo on the 3-month plan, verified 2026-09-16 on healthrx.com/pricing (12- and 3-month rates unchanged since 2026-07-18; the 6-month rate is newly itemized). Same price at every dose. HealthRX also now offers a no-commitment month-to-month plan at $149 the first month, then $165/mo. |
| Format-specific rate | The low price belongs to one format (sublingual/oral), not to every product the program sells. Injections are priced separately. | Strut Health Compounded, sublingual/oral from $99/mo, injectable from $149/mo (auto-refill 'starting at' entry-dose pricing) |
| Promotional rate | A time-limited number with a stated or unstated standing price behind it. Confirm what it reverts to before enrolling. | Embody $69/mo (limited-time promo, verified 2026-09-17) |
| Entry-dose “starting at” rate | A standing price at the lowest dose that rises as you escalate. Affordable at week one, not necessarily at week twelve. | Sprout Health $149/mo (advertised starting price, verified 2026-08-21); ShedRx $199/mo (advertised starting price, verified 2026-09-03) |
| Split membership plus medication | Two bills. The membership figure is the one that gets advertised; the medication is billed separately, and only the combined total is comparable to an all-in price. | Mochi Health Membership $79/mo + compounded semaglutide $99/mo (all doses); brand-name billed via insurance |
Where the cheapest all-in prices actually sit
19 programs in our registry publish an all-in monthly price with compounded medication included, running $69–$299/mo, and 16 of them come in under $200 ($69–$199/mo). The 1 at the bottom, Embody, are tied at $69/mo on four different terms rather than four identical deals: a sublingual/oral auto-refill rate, two 12-month plan rates, and an annual plan billed yearly up front. The full under-$200 ranking converts each into a first payment and a 12-month total, which is where they stop looking alike.
Programs that split the bill can look cheaper than they are. A membership figure quoted on its own is not comparable to an all-in price, because the medication has not been counted yet. Compare combined monthly totals or nothing.
What makes a GLP-1 program genuinely affordable?
Four questions, in this order: is the medication included in the quoted price or billed separately; is the rate contingent on a plan term, and if so is that term billed monthly or up front; does the price hold as your dose escalates; and is the number a standing price or a promotion. A program that answers all four in writing is usually cheaper over a year than one advertising a lower headline number and answering none of them.
FAQ
What is the cheapest GLP-1 program in 2026?
$69/mo all-in with compounded medication included, shared by 1 programs: Embody (latest price check September 17, 2026). Each reaches that figure on a different condition, so the cheapest program for you depends on whether you can commit to a plan term, pay a year up front, or use a sublingual format.
Is compounded semaglutide cheaper than brand-name?
Generally yes, substantially. Every program on this page prescribes compounded medication; Novo Nordisk’s standing NovoCare self-pay price for Wegovy is $349/month (wegovy.com / novocare.com, as of June 2026). The price gap is not a discount on the same product, it reflects that compounded medication is not an FDA-approved finished product.
Are there GLP-1 programs under $200/month?
Yes, 16 of them, running $69–$199/mo all-in. The full list ranks them with each price dated individually.
Which is cheapest if I do not want a membership fee?
$69/mo, across 19 programs that charge no separate membership on top of the medication price. See GLP-1 programs with no membership fee.
