Watch out for: Standard semaglutide pricing is $289/mo, above competitors at $99-199/mo; the TAKEOFF 3-month entry (about $99/mo first month) and annual plans from $99/mo bring the effective rate down

Watch out for: The $99/mo Wegovy/Zepbound tier is the clinical service only. Medication is billed separately at your pharmacy (can be $1,000+/mo cash without insurance). Choose this tier when your insurance covers the drug itself.

What the types mean: Brand = FDA-approved name-brand (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic). Compounded = pharmacy-made semaglutide/tirzepatide, same molecule at lower cost. Both = offers brand-name and compounded.

The lowest-scoring programs we rank, and why

These are the five lowest scores in our table, ranked by the same published methodology as everything above. We publish the bottom of the list for the same reason we publish the top: a comparison that only ever recommends is not a comparison.

5 of these 5 are our own affiliate partners. We earn a commission when a reader signs up with them, and they still score where the methodology puts them. Payment moves a program up this page never, and it does not move it out of this section either.

  • LivBody2.9/10 · $179/moOur partner

    Pricing contradicts itself on the SAME page: landing cards say 'Starting at $179'/mo semaglutide and $279/mo tirzepatide, but the FAQ says the program 'starts at just $249/month'. Checkout is captcha-gated, so we could not resolve which number is real, confirm the actual price at checkout before paying

A low score is not an accusation of wrongdoing. It means the program was weaker than its peers on our five weighted dimensions at the last verification pass, most often on price transparency or published clinical detail.

How we score the best GLP-1 programs

Every program is scored on the same five weighted dimensions. The weights are fixed and published:

  • Pricing & Value (25%)
  • Clinical Oversight (25%)
  • Medication Options (20%)
  • User Experience (15%)
  • Transparency & Trust (15%)

We use the all-in monthly cost, not the first-month intro price most comparison sites advertise. All-in means medication, consultations, shipping, and any membership fee.

Clinical oversight carries as much weight as price because a GLP-1 is a prescription medication with real side effects. In the pivotal STEP-1 trial (NEJM, 2021), semaglutide produced 14.9% average weight loss over 68 weeks, and tirzepatide reached 20.9% in SURMOUNT-1 (NEJM, 2022).

But those outcomes assume proper dosing, titration, and monitoring, which is exactly what the clinical-oversight dimension measures.

Best GLP-1 program by category

  • Highest score (best overall by methodology): bmiMD (8/10, $289/mo).
  • Cheapest all-in: Embody ($69/mo), see the full cheapest ranking.
  • Our featured partner: Embody (7.3/10, $69/mo), a disclosed affiliate recommendation for a fast, low-friction start.

What actually matters when you choose

Three things separate a good program from a risky one:

  1. A verified pharmacy. Compounded GLP-1s should come from a licensed 503A or FDA-registered 503B pharmacy. The FDA has warned about unregulated sources.
  2. Real clinical oversight. A licensed prescriber who titrates your dose and is reachable when side effects hit.
  3. Honest pricing.A flat all-in number, so a $99 intro rate doesn't quietly become $299 at your first refill.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best online GLP-1 program in 2026?+
By our independent methodology, the highest-scoring program among our verified partners is bmiMD at 8/10 ($289/mo all-in), leading on clinical oversight and transparency. The single highest score overall is Fridays (8.7/10), a non-partner listed in the full table. "Best" depends on what you weigh most, we rank 53 programs on cost, clinical oversight, medication options, user experience, and transparency, and publish the weights so you can re-rank for your own priorities. The full ranked table is below.
What's the difference between your 'Featured partner' and the highest-ranked program?+
Our methodology ranking (the table below) sorts strictly by score, bmiMD (8/10) is the highest-scored partner and the one this page recommends first. Our featured partner is a separate, disclosed editorial recommendation we surface for readers who just want a fast, low-friction place to start, currently Embody at $69/mo. We show its real score (7.3/10) so you can see exactly where it sits, and we deliberately give it less prominence than the higher-scored program. Affiliate status never changes a score.
Is the cheapest GLP-1 program the same as the best?+
Not necessarily. The cheapest all-in program is Embody at $69/mo, but the lowest price doesn't always mean the strongest clinical oversight. bmiMD leads on the full five-dimension score; undefined is the best value (highest score under $160/mo).
Do affiliate partners rank higher?+
In the listing, yes, we group our affiliate partners first and the other providers we rank below them, but affiliate status only decides which group a provider appears in, never its score, and within each group providers are ordered by that score (Pricing 25%, Clinical Oversight 25%, Medication Options 20%, UX 15%, Transparency 15%). Affiliate status has zero influence on score, and our highest-scored program overall is not always an affiliate partner.
How often are these rankings updated?+
We re-verify provider pricing monthly and update any change within 7 days. Scores are recomputed whenever the underlying evidence changes, a price move, a new medication, or an FDA action. See our editorial policy for the full methodology and update log.
What is the best GLP-1 program if you have insurance?+
Our pick is Fridays (8.7/10, $249/mo), accepts insurance. It's drawn straight from our ranked table; see the full Fridays review for pricing tiers and the complete breakdown.
What is the best GLP-1 program for brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound?+
Our pick is Fridays (8.7/10, $249/mo), offers FDA-approved brand-name Wegovy & Zepbound. It's drawn straight from our ranked table; see the full Fridays review for pricing tiers and the complete breakdown.
What is the best compounded GLP-1 provider?+
Our pick is Fridays (8.7/10, $249/mo), compounded semaglutide & tirzepatide. It's drawn straight from our ranked table; see the full Fridays review for pricing tiers and the complete breakdown.
What is the cheapest GLP-1 program?+
Our pick is Embody (7.3/10, $69/mo), the lowest all-in price we track. It's drawn straight from our ranked table; see the full Embody review for pricing tiers and the complete breakdown.
