Four molecules, four different shortlists, and the point at which the field stops overlapping.
No. Ask for the brand and the field drops from 34 companies to 10, the cheapest month goes from $99 to $199, and 3 of the five cheapest compounded sellers do not appear on that list at all.
What this piece found
The census, with its denominator
51 companies published on this site. The table below counts, for each molecule, how many carry a price ladder for it at all and how many of those have a rung you could buy for one month with no commitment — the second number is always smaller and it is the only one a shopper can use. Every price is that company's cheapest commitment-free rung with a required membership added, read on August 31, 2026. A company selling two molecules appears in two rows, so the rows do not sum to 51.
Overwhelmingly compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, and almost nothing else with any depth behind it. 35 of the 51 companies published here sell no FDA-approved brand at all.

By roughly two thirds, and the price roughly 2×. 34 companies here will sell you a single month of compounded semaglutide; 10 will sell you a single month of the brand. For brand tirzepatide it is 6.
That is the part a price comparison usually hides. A board of the cheapest GLP-1 prices is almost entirely a board of compounded prices, because compounded is what almost everybody here sells. If the prescription in your hand says Wegovy or Zepbound, most of the list is not available to you at any price.
CoreAge Rx for both compounded molecules, at $99 and $149, and we say that as a site CoreAge Rx pays a commission to. For the brand it is Zappy Health on both counts, at $199 for Wegovy and $349 for Zepbound.
The brand rows deserve a closer look than a table gives them. Zappy's $199 carries its restriction on the card itself — Wegovy — Available — Cash pay only — Semaglutide *New Patients for Novo Nordisk only — From $199/mo
— a manufacturer channel rather than a price Zappy sets. At the other end, Fridays lists Ozempic® ... $1498 / mo (1) Month-to-month plan
. Both were read on August 31, 2026, and the molecule is the same molecule.
At the very top, yes; below it, no. The cheapest company for compounded semaglutide is also cheapest for compounded tirzepatide, but only 2 of the five cheapest compounded sellers sell a brand GLP-1 at all, and none of them is the cheapest brand seller.
The five cheapest single months of compounded semaglutide here are CoreAge Rx, Bliv, Maximus, Trava, and Measured. Of those, 3 — CoreAge Rx, Bliv, and Trava — publish no brand ladder at all. A shortlist built from a cheapest-first board is a shortlist for one molecule, and it stops being useful the moment the prescription changes.
The same reshuffle happens between what a company advertises and what a month really costs, which is measured in the two league tables. Both effects stack: the advertised order is not the real order, and the real order is different again for each molecule.
4 companies here sell a single month of an oral semaglutide, from $149 at Zappy Health to $298 at FuturHealth. That is a small enough field that a single company's pricing decision moves the whole range, and it is worth reading each of those four rungs' labels before treating them as one product.
Then the price is not comparable to anything, and the cheapest figure on this entire roster is in that position. 2 companies sell a single month of a GLP-1 they never name — Measured and Midi Health — and the cheapest of them is $79. What it contains is not something we will infer. Whether the company names the molecule takes that census on its own.

Some companies named here pay us a commission when a reader starts care through a marked link. The one marked link on this page is one of them, picked by rule and disclosed beside it. Nothing above is ordered by who pays — the molecule table follows the roster's own molecule order and every price is its cheapest commitment-free rung. Who pays us · how we review · every review.
