GLP-1 Provider Comparison: 22 Platforms, Side by Side

Every provider below was researched against the same checklist and scored with the same rubric. Where a company does not publish something, we say so instead of guessing.

What this page is

A single table covering every telehealth platform, retail clinic, and manufacturer pharmacy we researched in August 2026, plus the rubric behind the scores. Prices come from each company's own published pages unless a named third party is cited in the individual review.

Prices change constantly in this market. Treat every figure here as a starting point for your own check, not a quote.

The Full Comparison Table

Sorted by our overall score. “All-in” means what you would realistically pay each month once membership and medication are both counted — where a provider bills medication separately through insurance or a pharmacy, we say so rather than inventing a number.

How We Scored These Providers

Every provider was scored on the same five criteria, each out of 10. The overall score is a weighted blend, with value and transparency carrying the most weight because those are the two things readers consistently get burned on.

Value (weighted heaviest)

Not “cheapest,” but what you get for the total price once membership and medication are both counted. A $199/month all-in program scores better than a $99/month medication price with a $99/month membership attached, because the second one is more expensive and harder to see.

Transparency

Does the provider publish its prices where you can find them before handing over payment details? Does it name the pharmacy? Does it say plainly whether medication is included? A provider that hides pricing in a legal document scores lower than one with a clean pricing page, even at the same price.

Medical oversight

Who is actually prescribing, and how deep does the clinical relationship go? Obesity medicine specialists and menopause-trained physicians score higher than asynchronous questionnaire review. Manufacturer pharmacies score lower here by design — they sell medication and leave clinical care to your own prescriber.

Support

Coaching, messaging access, follow-up visits, and what happens when side effects hit during titration. Unlimited visits score well. A prescription and a shipping notification score poorly.

What we did not do

  • We did not sign up for these services or test the onboarding ourselves, and we do not claim to have.
  • We did not accept payment from any provider in exchange for placement or a score.
  • We did not include user-review star ratings from third-party sites, which are easily manipulated in this industry.
  • We did not estimate prices. Where a provider does not publish one, the review says so.

A note on affiliate links

We participate in affiliate programs and may earn a commission if you sign up through some links on this site. That relationship does not change our scores or the order of this table, which is sorted purely by score. Most of the providers on this page are not affiliate partners at all, and they are ranked exactly the same way as the ones that are.

Five Patterns Worth Knowing Before You Choose

1. Brand-name is no longer automatically the expensive option

This is the biggest change in the market. NovoCare Pharmacy publishes the Wegovy pill at $149/month and the pen at $199/month. LillyDirect publishes Zepbound self-pay from $299/month at the starter dose. Amazon One Medical publishes oral GLP-1s from $149/month cash-pay or as low as $25/month with insurance. Two years ago, compounded medication was the only affordable route. That is no longer true, and anyone shopping on price alone should check the manufacturer pharmacies before assuming otherwise.

2. The headline price is usually half the bill

Mochi, Eden, Ivím, Alloy, Lemonaid, and Found all separate a membership fee from a medication fee. Eden in particular is widely quoted at “$99/month” in roundups that predate the membership fee reportedly added in 2026. Add both numbers before comparing anything.

3. Your price goes up as your dose goes up — unless it doesn't

LillyDirect Zepbound runs $299 at the starter dose and $699 at maintenance. That is a real $4,800 a year difference that a starter-dose quote completely hides. Mochi, Brello, and Found publish flat pricing across doses, which is worth a premium if you expect to titrate up.

4. Quarterly and annual billing hides the commitment

Brello advertises “$133/month” but charges $399 up front every 11 weeks. Noom bills quarterly. Sesame's cheapest rate needs an annual subscription. None of this is dishonest, but the advertised monthly figure is not what hits your card.

5. Free is a real option for some people

If your employer or health plan offers Teladoc, the program costs nothing and includes a connected scale and a 25-week curriculum. If you are on Medicare, the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program caps eligible GLP-1s at $50/month. Check both before paying anyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which GLP-1 provider is cheapest?

It depends on whether you have insurance. If you do not, NovoCare Pharmacy publishes brand-name Wegovy at $149/month for the pill and $199/month for the pen, which now competes directly with compounded telehealth pricing. Among compounded providers, Alloy ($99/mo care + medication from $70/mo) and Mochi Health ($79/mo membership + $99/mo semaglutide) have the lowest published all-in totals. If your employer offers Teladoc, the program itself is free.

Why do published prices differ so much between review sites?

Three reasons. Providers change pricing frequently and run promotions with end dates. Many split the bill into a membership fee plus a medication fee, and roundups often quote only one half. And some providers publish different figures on different pages of their own site. That is why every figure in this comparison is dated and attributed, and why we tell you to confirm at checkout.

Is a membership fee a red flag?

No — but an unmentioned one is. A membership fee usually pays for clinical access, and some providers give you a lot for it (Ivím includes unlimited visits; Alloy includes unlimited messaging). The problem is comparison shopping: a $99/month medication price with a $99/month membership is not cheaper than a $199/month all-in price. Always add both numbers.

Should I pick a provider based on your scores?

Use them as a starting point, not a verdict. Our scores reward published pricing, clinical depth, and honest disclosure — but the right provider depends on your insurance, whether you want brand-name or compounded medication, and how much support you want. A provider we scored lower may still be the best fit for your situation.
