What is the cheapest GLP-1 program right now?

Embody, from $69/mo. That is the lowest price we have verified ourselves across the 54 GLP-1 telehealth programs in our index, re-checked on 2026-08-28.

It is an entry price, though, and that matters more than it sounds. If you want one number that does not move, the cheapest program we have verified as a complete ongoing monthly rate is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo month-to-month. The gap between those two figures is the thing to check before you pay: an entry rate can rise at the second month, and a membership fee is not the same number as an all-in price.

Published scores use five fixed rubric dimensions and never change because of what a program pays. 18 legacy records still have declared drift against the current evidence recomputation; the release gate prevents that debt from growing. 34 of the 54 are affiliate partners, and that changes which of two comparable options we put in a button, never the score or ranking order. 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.

Editor's Picks · Verified September 2026

One featured pick, two narrow ones for everyone else.

Three affiliate programs we feature in 2026, every one of them a program our own Katalys data shows converting. The Top Pick is the program we feature to start with (an affiliate partner, disclosed); the two below own one angle each. Every pick still appears in the full ranking table below at its score-earned position, read the methodology.

4.6 ★ Trustpilot · 3,925+ reviews

Compounded tirzepatide microdose from $149/mo on a yearly plan plus a first-party iOS + Android tracker app. Gala Health's merged Trustpilot profile is 4.6★ across 3,925 reviews; not all are GLP-1-treatment reviews.

Best for Insurance Billing

from$117/mo8.7 / 10
4.4 ★ Trustpilot · 4,200+ reviews

The only partner on this row that bills your insurance directly, which with coverage can bring a brand-name GLP-1 to a $25-50/mo copay. Cash fallback is compounded semaglutide at $249/mo month-to-month, or as low as $117/mo paid annually with the code printed on their own pricing page. 4.4★ across 4,200+ Trustpilot reviews, and at 8.7/10 it holds the highest score on our 54-provider index.

What the types mean: Brand = FDA-approved name-brand (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic). Compounded = pharmacy-prepared semaglutide/tirzepatide that is not FDA-approved and should not be assumed equivalent to a brand product. Both = offers brand-name and compounded.

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.
