The cheapest GLP-1 providers, both molecules, one basis
Updated 2026-08-10 · figures captured 2026-08-09 · how we verify
"Cheapest GLP-1" is two questions, because the molecules price differently. Tirzepatide — the stronger average effect in head-to-head trial data and 60% of this market's search interest — floors at $215/mo all-in at NexLife↗, dose-flat with no membership. Semaglutide floors at $133 at Oak Longevity (limited states) or $146 broadly at Yucca Health↗ — the full sema table is ranked separately.
Below, the tirzepatide order, since it is the number most readers came for; the brand floors to beat are Zepbound vials at $449 maintenance via LillyDirect↗ and Wegovy at $349 via NovoCare↗ — and any insurance coverage beats everything on this page.

The leaders, across a full year
Stretch the leaders across twelve months and the ordering earns its meaning: NexLife: $2,580 monthly-billed, $2,232 on its prepaid path (upfront); Yucca Health: $3,096 monthly-billed; IVIM Health↗: $3,336 monthly-billed; Mochi Health↗: $3,336 monthly-billed; ShedRx: $3,468 monthly-billed; Found: $3,468 monthly-billed; SkinnyRx: $3,588 monthly-billed; OrderlyMeds↗: $3,588 monthly-billed.
Spread top-to-bottom within just these five: $1,008 a year — before considering the rest of the field, where the verified ceiling reaches $3,588. Prepaid paths shrink the totals and add commitment; the trade is priced properly in the annual-cost analysis and at your own numbers in the calculator.
Structure census across the 8 priced programs above: 6 are dose-flat, 6 carry no membership, 2 name their pharmacy network, and 1 publish a prepaid path below their own monthly-billed year. Those four counts are the shape of this list — the price column tells you what a program charges; the census tells you what kind of thing it is.
A ranking is a starting grid, not a finish line. The next click that earns its time: each shortlisted program’s provider page, where the same dataset renders the parts a single sorted number cannot carry — memberships, prepaid ladders, cancellation language, watch-outs, capture provenance.
