2026 GLP-1 Cash-Pay Pricing Index

This export contains 105 program records from 68 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 $77 to $348. Tirzepatide amounts range from $79.60 to $351. These are headline amounts, not all-in monthly costs.
• 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 105 unique program records.

Compounded Semaglutide Programs (58)

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

Compounded Tirzepatide Programs (43)

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

Branded GLP-1 Programs (11)

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. Each amount was taken from the provider's own pricing page when the record was created or last edited. When we recheck a price against that page, the Last checked column shows the date and the CSV records the source URL. Rows without a date have no recorded recheck yet. Building the page does not visit provider sites, and the CSV's generated_at field records the 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, so this is not a same-day market survey. Prices change, and program amounts may cover different billing periods or leave out fees. We do not complete checkouts to confirm the final charge. Treat the medians as a guide to where programs sit, not as all-in treatment costs.

Sources and updates

The CSV keeps the directory's provider_link, which may be an affiliate redirect, so it is not a price source. The source_url and last_verified fields are filled when a program has a recorded price check and left blank otherwise. 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 58 semaglutide program records, headline amounts range from $77 to $348, with a median of $156.50. These are headline amounts, not total monthly costs. Billing terms and extra fees vary.

How much does compounded tirzepatide cost online in 2026?

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?

Each price comes from the provider's own pricing page. When we recheck a price, we record the source URL and the date, and the table shows that date in the Last checked column. Rows without a date have no recorded recheck yet. Exporting the CSV never changes a check date.
