As of August 2026, the lowest verified all-in prices among the compounded GLP-1 providers in this guide start around $120/month and tirzepatide around $125/month. But the lowest sticker price isn’t always the lowest true cost. Membership fees, dose-based price jumps, and “first month” intro rates can turn a “$99” plan into a $200 one. This guide ranks the cheapest compounded GLP-1 options by all-in cost so you can see what you’d actually pay.

Key takeaways

  • The cheapest all-in prices in 2026 start around $120/month for compounded semaglutide and $125/month for compounded tirzepatide. That’s lower than brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound, which run over $1,000 per month without insurance.
  • The lowest advertised price often isn’t the lowest true cost. Watch for a separate membership fee, intro rates that jump after month one, and prices quoted only for the low starter dose.
  • On true all-in cost, Astra and TrimRx are among the lowest. Providers like Ivim, Mochi, and Eden advertise low medication prices but add a $75-$99 monthly membership on top.
  • “Under $100” is usually a catch: a medication-only price, a first-month promo, a capped microdose, or an annual prepay.
  • Cheaper doesn’t necessarily mean less safe, as long as the medication comes from a licensed 503A pharmacy with a clinician in the loop.
  • The reliable ways to pay less are structural: choose an all-in provider over a membership model, commit to a longer plan, use FSA/HSA dollars, and pick a provider whose price doesn’t climb with your dose.

How these compounded GLP-1 prices were compared

Every figure reflects the lowest advertised plan on each provider’s own website or a current independent review, converted to a monthly rate and split into medication-only versus all-in (including any required membership). Because telehealth pricing changes often and many providers run first-month promotions, the ranking uses the ongoing rate at a maintenance dose, not the intro price.

The price you see is the price you pay

The lowest true prices come from flat-rate providers with no membership. “Medication-only” prices like Ivim’s ~$100 semaglutide look affordable until you add the required $75 membership and the real number lands near $175, which is why it pays to compare all-in.

Why “cheapest” compounded GLP-1 is misleading: sticker price vs. true cost

The number a provider puts on its landing page is often not the number you’ll pay each month.

  1. Unbundled membership. A provider advertises “$99 semaglutide,” but that’s the medication alone. A separate membership covers the clinician, messaging, and platform. Mochi Health runs this way: $99 medication plus a ~$79 membership works out to about $178 all-in. Eden advertises $99 but requires a $99 monthly membership, landing near $198.
  2. Intro pricing that reverts. A “$179 first month” offer that jumps to $299 in month two is not a $179 plan. Since GLP-1 treatment usually runs six to 12 months or longer, the ongoing rate is the one to compare.
  3. Starter-dose-only pricing. Some providers quote the price for the lowest 0.25 mg starter dose, then charge more as you titrate up. Because you’ll spend most of your treatment at higher doses, the starter price undersells the real cost of a full year.

The honest way to compare providers is to calculate one number: the ongoing monthly cost, at a maintenance dose, including any membership. That’s the figure this guide ranks on.

Cheapest compounded semaglutide

On all-in cost, compounded semaglutide bottoms out around $120 to $150/month in 2026. Astra’s 6-month plan is $120 with no membership; TrimRx is $199 flat and Noom’s standard GLP-1Rx program is $129 with medication included.

Membership-model providers like Ivim (~$100 + ~$75 membership) and Mochi ($99 + ~$79) land near $175 to $180 all-in once the subscription is added. Noom also has a $49 microdose tier, but that’s a capped low dose, not a full therapeutic program.

For context, that’s a fraction of brand-name Wegovy, which runs around $1,000 to $1,350 per month without insurance.

$99 semaglutide isn’t always $99.

Even the priciest compounded plan here is well under the brand. If you’re weighing compounded against the brand rather than against other compounders, we break that down in compounded semaglutide vs. Ozempic.

Cheapest compounded tirzepatide

Compounded tirzepatide is pricier than semaglutide, with the cheapest all-in options around $125 to $133 per month. Among the providers here, the lowest all-in annual price is Astra at $125/month with no separate membership; Ivim Health lists about $183/month for a 6-month supply before its $75 membership.

Because tirzepatide titrates through more dose steps, a provider whose price doesn’t rise with your dose can save the most over a year.

Tirzepatide pricing varies more than semaglutide’s, anywhere from ~$125 at annual/starter rates to $300+ at maintenance doses on membership-plus-medication platforms like Mochi (~$278 all-in) and Eden (~$298 all-in). TrimRx runs $349/month with no membership and a flat rate at every dose, while MedVI runs from about $179 up toward $399 depending on dose and format.

Compounded GLP-1 under $100: Is it real?

Yes, but usually only as a medication-only price, an intro rate, or an annual-plan starting price. A true, ongoing, all-in cost under $100 is rare. When you see “$79” or “$99,” check which of these it is:

Among the providers in this guide, the lowest all-in prices sit around $120/month. You’ll see sub-$100 numbers advertised, but they almost always carry a condition like a medication-only price before membership, a first-month promo, a capped microdose, or a full 12-month prepay.

Keep in mind that a price dramatically below the market, say, $40/month with no clinician and no named pharmacy, is a reason to look harder.

What affects the price of compounded GLP-1?

Every discount you can stack, we take.

Astra’s all-in pricing already runs $125/mo for compounded tirzepatide across all doses. And you can pay with FSA/HSA dollars (effectively discounting by your tax rate) or spread the cost with Affirm, Klarna, or Afterpay. Free expedited shipping included.

Is cheaper compounded GLP-1 safe?

Cheap and safe are not mutually exclusive, but the lowest prices should still come from a licensed, named pharmacy with a real clinician.

Since the semaglutide and tirzepatide shortages ended (February and December 2024, respectively), legitimate compounding happens at 503A pharmacies, which prepare medication for one patient at a time against a prescription. A low price from a 503A pharmacy that names itself, uses base-form medication, tests potency, and routes you through a licensed clinician is a fair deal.

What should worry you is cheapness paired with vagueness: a provider that won’t name its pharmacy, skips the clinician visit, or quotes a price far below everyone else. Check who compounds your medication and whether a licensed clinician reviews your prescription. It’s also worth knowing a platform’s regulatory history; the FDA has issued warning letters to some compounded GLP-1 marketers over how they label and advertise their products.

How to lower the cost of your GLP-1 treatment

  1. Choose an all-in provider over a membership-plus-medication one. This can save $75 to $99 per month versus an unbundled plan at the same headline price.
  2. Commit to a longer plan if you’re confident. Annual pricing beats monthly by a wide margin. Just make sure the provider lets you cancel or pause, so the savings are not a trap.
  3. Use FSA/HSA dollars. GLP-1 treatment for a qualifying condition is typically FSA/HSA-eligible, which effectively discounts it by your tax rate. Providers like Astra accept FSA/HSA along with buy-now-pay-later options (Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay).

Astra (try-astra.com) is worth a look if tirzepatide is your medication: at $125/month on the annual plan, it’s the lowest tirzepatide price in this comparison, and the price stays the same at every dose — with no separate membership, FSA/HSA accepted, and free shipping through a US-licensed 503A pharmacy that reviews every prescription with a clinician. Its semaglutide runs $120/month on a 6-month plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the cheapest GLP-1 without insurance?

Compounded semaglutide is the cheapest GLP-1 if you’re paying cash, starting around $120 per month all-in versus roughly $1,000+ for brand-name Wegovy or Ozempic without insurance. Compounded tirzepatide is the next step up, from about $125 per month. Both need a prescription from a licensed provider.

Is compounded GLP-1 cheaper than Ozempic or Wegovy?

Brand-name semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) runs roughly $1,000 to $1,350 per month at retail without insurance, while compounded semaglutide starts around $120 per month all-in. The active ingredient is the same; you’re skipping the brand’s manufacturing, pen device, and markup.

Why is compounded semaglutide so cheap?

No brand markup, no pre-filled injector device, and it’s mixed per prescription by a pharmacy rather than mass-manufactured.

Does cheaper mean lower quality?

Not by itself. Two compounded products with the same base-form active ingredient from licensed 503A pharmacies are comparable regardless of price. Quality tracks the pharmacy’s standards and the clinical oversight. The prices to be skeptical of are the ones far below the whole market, or from providers that won’t tell you which pharmacy fills the prescription.
