2026 GLP-1 Cash-Pay Pricing Index

This export contains 138 program records from 86 providers. The numbers below summarize recorded headline amounts, not comparable total monthly bills. Introductory offers, consultation fees, medication exclusions and multi-month commitments can change what you pay. Check the billing terms beside each program and confirm current pricing with the provider.

Key Findings

• Recorded semaglutide amounts range from $78 to $349; tirzepatide amounts range from $99.6 to $600. These are not verified all-in monthly price ranges.
• The median is the middle value, or the average of the two middle values for an even number of records.
• A program offering both compounded medications appears in both medication tables, but only once in the CSV. Categories therefore overlap.
• Compare consultation charges, medication inclusion, dose, billing period and ongoing price before choosing a program.

Price Distribution by Medication

Distribution of recorded headline amounts. Medication categories overlap; the CSV contains 138 unique program records.

Compounded Semaglutide Programs (70)

Sorted by recorded amount, not verified total cost. Billing terms and extra charges are shown in Program.

Compounded Tirzepatide Programs (54)

Sorted by recorded amount, not verified total cost. Billing terms and extra charges are shown in Program.

Branded GLP-1 Programs (16)

Programs offering brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Mounjaro. Pricing reflects program fees, not always list-price medication. Sorted from cheapest to most expensive.

Methodology

This index exports the program amounts recorded in our provider directory. Generating the page or CSV does not visit provider websites or verify current prices. Row-level source verification is incomplete. The data-as-of date is unknown where a documented price source and verification date are absent; CSV generated_at records export time only.

What we track

• Recorded headline amount. The numeric directory price, with its original price_display billing terms. The historical monthly_price_usd CSV field is retained for compatibility but is not a normalized monthly total; price_basis explains this limitation.
• Medications offered. We list compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, and branded medications (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) separately because pricing dynamics differ across categories.
• What's included. Whether the price covers medication only, or also includes clinician support, metabolic labs, free shipping, or app access.
• Geographic coverage. Number of US states served, including telehealth-only providers and in-person clinic networks.

What we exclude

• Directory records without a numeric price or medication classification.
• Recorded amounts below $50. This historical cutoff does not establish whether a program includes medication.
• These records do not establish an individual's insurance cost. Some branded entries are membership or visit fees without medication; others include medication.
• We do not reliably exclude introductory offers. Consult price_display in the CSV and confirm recurring charges before comparing programs.

Limitations

These records were collected at different times and are not a verified same-date market survey. Prices may be outdated, and program amounts may cover different durations or exclude fees. No automated export confirms checkout prices. Do not use these aggregates as current all-in treatment-cost estimates.

Sources and updates

The CSV retains the directory's provider_link, which may be an affiliate redirect; it is not proof of a verified price source. source_url and last_verified are populated only when a program has recorded price-source evidence. Unknown values remain blank. Prices are sorted numerically, not by commission. We may earn affiliate commissions. For data requests or methodology questions, contact hello@clearmetabolic.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does compounded semaglutide cost online in 2026?

Across 70 semaglutide program records, headline amounts range from $78 to $349, with a median of $199. These are not verified total monthly costs; billing terms and additional fees vary.

What is the cheapest GLP-1 program online?

This index cannot establish the cheapest complete treatment. Recorded headline amounts may exclude consultation or medication charges, use introductory offers, or cover different billing periods. Verify current terms directly with the provider.

Why is compounded tirzepatide cheaper than Zepbound?

Compounded GLP-1s are produced by licensed compounding pharmacies using the active ingredient (semaglutide or tirzepatide) rather than the FDA-approved branded product. Compounding is permitted under sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and pricing is not constrained by the manufacturer list price of $900 to $1,400 per month for Zepbound or Wegovy. The cash-pay price difference reflects compounding pharmacy economics, not insurance subsidies.

How is this pricing data verified?

This export is not a fresh verification of provider prices. A source URL and verification date must be recorded separately for each program; missing evidence is labeled not documented. Export generation never advances verification dates.
