Affordable GLP-1 programs: compare the full bill

Public-source comparison checked September 15, 2026. By Ash Heleka.

A $60 medication price and a $130 monthly equivalent do not describe the same bill. One can exclude membership; the other can require three months of payment. Start with what is due today, then compare the renewal.

This is a two-provider cost example, not a market-wide cheapest ranking. We replaced the old automatic ranking because its underlying prices mixed fees, packages and medication costs. Neither provider is ranked for clinical quality.

Monthly plans: compare the same payment period

Sources: Mochi membership, medication ranges and Gimme Care prices. Mochi's amount varies with dose, state and pharmacy. These are provider-published terms, not independently tested services.

Mochi's eligible new-subscriber offer is $39 for the first membership month, followed by $79. At the lowest advertised medication price, that gives a $99 semaglutide or $129 tirzepatide first-month subtotal. The offer is not available in every state; those are not renewal prices. Offer conditions.

Quarterly billing: a lower equivalent, a larger payment

Gimme advertises semaglutide at $130/month with three-month billing: $390 for the period. Its $163/month tirzepatide equivalent gives $489. Three monthly payments at the rates above would total $480 or $597. The difference is $90 or $108, before any patient-specific adjustments. Pricing and billing source.

A lower monthly equivalent does not mean you can pay that smaller amount each month. Confirm the charge today and what happens to unused prepaid treatment before choosing the longer plan.

Renewal and cancellation change the comparison

Mochi membership renews until cancelled. Its terms distinguish ending membership from stopping a medication refill; act before the refill reaches the pharmacy. Applicable medication fees, shipping and taxes may be additional. Mochi terms.

Gimme treats purchases as subscriptions unless checkout says otherwise. Its policy allows cancellation before pharmacy dispensing or shipment, not after. Portal cancellation of future renewals should not be confused with refunding an existing order. Gimme refund policy.

Approved medication and insurance belong in your comparison

These examples do not show that compounded treatment is your cheapest or most suitable option. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. FDA says they should be used only when a patient's needs cannot be met by an approved drug. Discuss that question with a licensed clinician. FDA guidance.

What we checked and what remains unknown

We read the linked public price and policy pages and checked the arithmetic. We did not complete signup, obtain a patient-specific quote, test care or support, or independently verify pharmacy or clinician credentials. State-specific availability and your final bill remain unverified. Prices can change after this source check.
