What is the cheapest GLP-1 program right now?

Embody, at a flat $69/mo, the same rate at every dose. That is the lowest price we have checked ourselves across the 53 GLP-1 telehealth programs in our index, and we re-checked it on 2026-07-31. Programs that bill the medication separately are excluded from that comparison, because a membership fee and an all-in price are not the same number.

Scores come from a published rubric applied to evidence we collect, never from what a program pays. 30 of the 53 are affiliate partners, and that changes which of two comparable options we put in a button, never the score or the order of the rankings. When the cheapest program is not a partner we still list it first, which is why you will find one at the top of our price index with no affiliate link attached.

What doctors say
Independent Clinical Perspective

What the doctors say about GLP-1 medications

Verbatim, independently sourced statements from named physicians and medical bodies, real clinicians quoted with their sources, not a single paid reviewer. General clinical context, not an endorsement of any provider.

More options for people with these challenging diseases will be very helpful, particularly if the new oral tablet medicines are priced reasonably.
Daniel Drucker, MD, endocrinologist, co-discoverer of GLP-1's biological actions; 2025 Breakthrough Prize laureate
University of Toronto / Sinai Health
On head-to-head data for the oral GLP-1 pill orforglipron vs oral semaglutide.
People with overweight or obesity have individual preferences, and with oral semaglutide as a potential new treatment option, more of those who are not on treatment today may consider starting GLP-1 treatment.
Sean Wharton, MD, internal medicine physician; lead author, OASIS 4 trial
Wharton Medical Clinic
On the OASIS 4 results for oral semaglutide 25 mg (16.6% weight loss) as a pill alternative to injections.
We now have medicines that not only reduce heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral arterial disease, but also simultaneously lead to meaningful weight loss, which in turn lowers the risk of many weight-related conditions. These treatments also improve patients' quality of life in a meaningful way, making this a genuine win, win.
Naveed Sattar, MD, PhD, Professor of Cardiometabolic Medicine
University of Glasgow
Expert reaction (Science Media Centre) to NICE draft guidance recommending semaglutide to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
