GLP-1 Telehealth Price Index (September 2026)

Compounded GLP-1 programs advertise wildly different prices for the same two molecules. This index puts the numbers side by side: the real starting monthly price for compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide at ten telehealth programs we have reviewed in full, plus the catches that change the math.

How to read it: every figure comes from our hands-on review of that brand, where we walked the brand’s own pricing and checkout pages. Click the review link in each row for the full breakdown and the date the numbers were last verified. Prices in this market move often — treat this as a map, and confirm on the brand’s site before you buy.

The index: starting monthly prices

Program Compounded semaglutide (per month) Compounded tirzepatide (per month) The catch to know Full review
Trimi $99 flat $125 Microdose plans from $109; flat pricing is the pitch Trimi vs Lttl
bmiMD $99–$129 (by plan length) $139–$179 The $99 tier requires prepaying $1,188 for 12 months bmiMD review
Oak From $119 — Entry dose only; price steps up with dose Oak vs brand-name
Lttl $129 flat $199 Month-to-month, cancel anytime; up to $140 off first order Lttl review
HealthRx ~$133 (3-month plan) $179–$209 Intro promos from $79–$99 expire quickly HealthRx review
CoreAge Rx $149 $99 Tirzepatide priced below semaglutide is unusual — young brand, likely intro pricing CoreAge Rx review
Shed From $159 From $239 Member reports of semaglutide climbing toward $299 at higher doses Shed vs brand-name
Enhance MD $112 first month, then $212 $180 first month, then $280 First-month price roughly doubles from month two Enhance MD review
Willow $299 flat (tablets same price) $399 flat (tablets same price) Full refund only before the script reaches the pharmacy; flat price at every dose Willow review
Synergy Rx ~$200 start, ~$299 ongoing $349–$449 $100 welcome credit applies mainly to month one Synergy Rx review

Brand-name context

For comparison, at our last checks: Wegovy through the manufacturer’s direct-pay program runs about $349 a month (roughly $499 cash elsewhere), Zepbound self-pay vials run about $299–$499 depending on dose, and cash-pay Ozempic sits near $1,299 a month. That gap is the entire reason the compounded market exists.

The three patterns that change your real cost

  • Intro pricing. “From $99” often means month one. Enhance MD nearly doubles after the first month; HealthRx’s cheapest banners are promo rates.
  • Dose creep. Most people titrate up over several months, and several programs charge more at higher doses. Shed’s low entry rate can approach $299 by the top dose.
  • Prepay lock-in. The cheapest tiers usually require paying 6–12 months upfront — fine if you stay the course, expensive if you stop early. bmiMD’s $99 tier is a $1,188 commitment.
