Rankings

Sorted on what gets billed.

  • Cheapest right now

    Every programme sorted on what it bills, not what it advertises. Floor: $199/mo tirzepatide, $149/mo semaglutide.

  • Where the traps are

    The biggest advertised-to-billed gaps on our board, and the programmes charging most for the same category of medication.

  • Best value on the board

    Cheapest is one question. Best value — where the money buys something — is another.

  • The cheapest tirzepatide online

    Every provider whose monthly price actually includes the medication, sorted on what you are billed in month two.

  • The cheapest semaglutide online

    Semaglutide programmes ranked on the billed monthly figure, with membership fees counted and teaser rates discarded.

  • Cheapest GLP-1 without insurance

    Cash-pay only: no coverage, no prior authorisation, no insurer. What each programme charges and what it includes.

  • GLP-1s under $150 a month

    A hard price ceiling. Every programme billing $150 or less a month with the medication included.

  • The best GLP-1 programmes

    Every provider we track, scored on the same five weighted criteria, whichever medication they dispense.

  • No membership fee

    Providers that charge for the medication and nothing else. The single most reliable way to avoid a surprise in month two.

  • The most transparent providers

    Ranked on whether the advertised price is the billed price, and whether the company tells you where the medication comes from.

  • Zepbound alternatives

    Zepbound is tirzepatide. Here is what else delivers the same molecule, what it costs, and what you give up.

  • Wegovy alternatives

    Wegovy is semaglutide. These are the cheaper routes to the same molecule, and the newer approved pill that changed the maths.

  • Ozempic alternatives
