Does a 12-month prepay actually save you money?

Only if you finish the term. Of the 625 prepay plans this roster can price, 292 have broken even by month three and 333 have not, and every refund policy on record says the difference is gone if you stop.

If you stop at month three, does the prepay still come out ahead?

For 292 of the 625 rungs, yes. For the other 333, no, and the shortfall runs from $1 to $2,758. Three months is not a prediction about you; it is a number you can move up or down the table below to find your own answer.

Break-even is the first month at which paying month to month would have cost at least as much as the prepay charge already on your card. Rows on the tinted background are the ones that have broken even by month three.

What does the longest wait look like drawn out?

The rung that takes longest to break even is Embody's twelve month supply, in the shop on compounded semaglutide. It takes $828 on day one and does not break even until month 12 of 12. A reader paying month to month would have spent $207 by the end of month three, so stopping there costs $621 more than never having prepaid.

Check the unit before you compare any of these. 24 of the 625 rungs above are sold as a block of weeks rather than calendar months, and their own plan labels say so: Pallas Health, compounded semaglutide tablets, 12 weeks; NiceRx, starter pack, 12 weekly doses paid up front (new patients); Health Source Online, 8-week supply, every 8 weeks; CLYR Health, 8-week cycle, 8 units a week; June Health, 3 months, 0.25 mg/week; REMEVi, 12-week plan (three 4-week cycles), paid up front; iThriveMD, 3-month package (12 weeks paid upfront); BloomMD, 90-day supply, 2.2 mg weekly; Prime Doctor RX, 12 weeks paid upfront; SexyMD, 3 month plan, 12-week supply in one delivery; Tryozi, 12 weeks paid upfront (3 four-week cycles); June Health, 6 months, 0.25 mg/week; iThriveMD, 6-month package (24 weeks paid upfront); REMEVi, 24-week plan (six 4-week cycles), paid up front; Prime Doctor RX, 24 weeks paid upfront; SexyMD, 6 month plan, 24-week supply delivered every 12 weeks; Tryozi, 24 weeks paid upfront (6 four-week cycles); June Health, 12 months, 0.25 mg/week; iThriveMD, 12-month package (48 weeks paid upfront); Tryozi, 52 weeks paid upfront (13 four-week cycles, about 12 months); SexyMD, 12 month plan, 48 weeks (12 four-week cycles, about 12 months); Clume Health, signature, 52-week plan; Prime Doctor RX, 52 weeks paid upfront (13 four-week cycles, about 12 months); CLYR Health, 8-week cycle, up to 40 units a week. A twelve-month plan billed in four-week supplies covers 48 weeks, so a calendar year needs thirteen of them, and comparing that per-month rate against a competitor's calendar month is not a like-for-like comparison.

If you stop early, do you get anything back?

At every company whose refund terms are on record here, no, and that is 2 of the 155 companies with a prepay rung in the table above. This is the part that turns an arithmetic question into a real one: a prepay with a pro-rata refund is a different product from a prepay without one, and not one of these policies is the first kind.

Gala Health's refund policy answers it in capitals: IN NO EVENT SHALL YOU BE ISSUED A REFUND UPON CANCELLATION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES. The same policy limits any approved refund to your most recent billing cycle, and on a plan billed as one charge, the most recent billing cycle is the entire term. Ro's terms of use say Once paid, your Ro Body Membership Fee is non-refundable. Mochi Health, which markets cancellation at any time, states in its terms that We do not offer refunds for partially used subscription periods.

There is exactly one pro-rata formula anywhere in these policies, and it is worth quoting because of what triggers it. Eden says Eden does not issue refunds for partial billing periods and then, separately, that if it cannot supply a treatment plan due to supply shortages, FDA regulations, or other factors outside its control, customers are eligible for a prorated refund. That is a refund for Eden's failure to deliver, not for your decision to stop. It is the only one in the set, and it does not apply to the case at hand.

How many of these companies publish a prepay plan we can compare?

155 of the 412 published on this site. 207 companies publish a prepay rung of some kind. Only 155 of those also publish a price for a single month of the same treatment, and without that second number there is nothing to compute a break-even against.

The 52 left over (Gala Health, Oak, Brello Health, ShedRx, RxPros, AgelessRx, EllieMD, PeterMD, Noom, NewSelf, Joi + Blokes, GetReliefRX, Roen Rx, WeightRx, yourEra, Collective, Live Vital, TRT Nation, VigorMeds, Bayan Health, Immortals, PrescribedRX, Vita Bella, ZYP Medical, Concierge MD, MadeMed, Regenics, Coivas, Factor Health MD, Wellorithm, CeliaRx, Contour Health, Fidelity Medical Clinic, HeliMeds, Aspen Health, CoraDoc, Dr. Arevitalize, NuuVim, Options Medical Weight Loss, Rivo Health, Somi Health, Fifty 410, HelloWellness, JustAnswer Weight Loss, Potere Health MD, Primary Clinic, Science & Co, Tonik Wellness, WeightlessRx, Rejuve Meds, Superpower, and SkyRx) publish a multi-month plan and no single-month price beside it. That is its own finding, and it is the one this arithmetic cannot answer: with no month-to-month figure there is no break-even month to print, only the amount charged today. What each one does publish is recorded on the Gala Health review, the Oak review, the Brello Health review, the ShedRx review, the RxPros review, the AgelessRx review, the EllieMD review, the PeterMD review, the Noom review, the NewSelf review, the Joi + Blokes review, the GetReliefRX review, the Roen Rx review, the WeightRx review, the yourEra review, the Collective review, the Live Vital review, the TRT Nation review, the VigorMeds review, the Bayan Health review, the Immortals review, the PrescribedRX review, the Vita Bella review, the ZYP Medical review, the Concierge MD review, the MadeMed review, the Regenics review, the Coivas review, the Factor Health MD review, the Wellorithm review, the CeliaRx review, the Contour Health review, the Fidelity Medical Clinic review, the HeliMeds review, the Aspen Health review, the CoraDoc review, the Dr. Arevitalize review, the NuuVim review, the Options Medical Weight Loss review, the Rivo Health review, the Somi Health review, the Fifty 410 review, the HelloWellness review, the JustAnswer Weight Loss review, the Potere Health MD review, the Primary Clinic review, the Science & Co review, the Tonik Wellness review, the WeightlessRx review, the Rejuve Meds review, the Superpower review and the SkyRx review. The calculator still prices those plans; it just cannot compare them.

Notice periods differ enough to matter, and among these terms they run from 48 hours to 72: Gala wants the request 72 hours before the billing date, Ro and Eden 48. All three sentences are quoted in full below. Miss the window and the next term bills before the cancellation takes effect, which on a twelve-month plan is a large thing to miss by a day.

Where does a lump sum come from if nobody publishes one?

This is the part we owe you plainly, because it decides how much weight the table above can carry. None of the eight domains whose policy pages are on record here publishes the amount a multi-month plan charges on the day you take it. Every published prepay figure is a rate per month with a cadence beside it.

So a charge in that table is one of two things, and they are not equally strong. Where a company publishes a rate per month and a term and no lump sum, the charge is that rate multiplied by that term: our arithmetic on their published figures, not a number they print. Where a rung says something a multiplication would not produce, the company published the total itself, and the review says where.

Heva Health is the exception in this set. Its $189 and $174 and $339 and $299 and $270 and $350 and $438 and $645 and $897 and $831 and $447 and $627 and $777 and $585 and $498 and $348 and $600 and $450 and $297 and $381 and $349 and $549 and $259 and $399 and $257 and $375 and $298 and $478 and $267 and $360 and $220 and $537 and $477 and $765 and $411 and $822 and $1,020 and $707 and $1,007 and $650 and $800 and $597 and $837 and $239 and $1,482 and $1,250 and $657 and $435 and $927 and $987 and $675 and $825 and $615 and $750 and $420 and $744 and $417 and $288 and $507 and $807 and $649 and $949 and $448 and $698 and $500 and $550 and $747 and $567 and $711 and $599 and $387 and $557 and $807.30 and $897.75 and $1,053 and $849 and $1,100 and $678 and $528 and $900 and $589 and $594 and $479 and $695 and $327 and $357 and $225 and $372 and $481.65 and $681 and $424.99 and $299.99 and $399.99 and $565 and $687 and $495 and $570 and $397 and $697 and $575 and $855 and $797 and $699 and $795 and $534 and $894 and $957 and $950 and $702 and $714 and $1,464 and $990 and $1,396 and $690 and $2,382 and $834 and $1,194 and $1,152 and $1,014 and $1,000 and $1,556.10 and $798 and $696 and $999 and $870 and $1,488 and $1,578 and $1,344 and $1,944 and $1,050 and $1,299 and $1,349.10 and $1,449 and $469 and $689 and $720 and $1,188 and $474 and $1,199 and $1,198 and $1,450 and $774 and $1,374 and $1,029 and $1,755 and $1,074 and $1,494 and $954 and $875 and $654 and $948 and $1,440 and $1,080 and $1,794 and $1,248 and $1,164 and $2,298 and $1,068 and $1,734 and $1,908 and $810 and $1,350 and $558 and $858 and $2,712 and $840 and $1,140 and $1,799 and $1,548 and $1,254 and $1,524.90 and $2,394 and $1,495 and $1,995 and $912.60 and $1,291 and $960 and $1,260 and $1,065 and $1,575 and $1,434 and $1,550 and $1,650 and $1,800 and $1,999 and $1,500 and $1,992 and $1,788 and $1,937 and $1,428 and $2,364 and $2,238 and $1,900 and $1,933 and $1,888 and $1,680 and $1,149 and $1,699 and $1,716 and $1,608 and $2,820 and $3,438 and $2,094 and $2,905 and $2,988 and $828 and $2,232 and $2,664 and $3,237 and $1,668 and $3,108 and $2,870.40 and $2,795 and $2,748 and $2,327 and $2,717 and $1,032 and $2,148 and $2,028 and $2,568 and $2,388 and $3,895 and $3,497 and $2,244 and $748 and $228 and $540 and $584 and $997 and $1,797 and $398 and $569 and $726 and $912 and $1,686 and $644.99 appear only on its own plan screen, at the end of its intake and before any payment details are asked for. Nothing on the public site states either one, and the review says where they come from.

One question stays open: Ro's pages state that the membership fee is non-refundable once paid, and say nothing about the unused months of a six- or twelve-month prepay specifically. Neither the pricing page nor the terms of use, as of August 31, 2026, has a sentence that answers it. That is a gap in what Ro publishes, and we are not going to fill it by inference in either direction.

So when is a prepay the right call?

When you already know you are staying past the break-even month in the table, and you are comfortable that the money is gone if you are wrong. That is a much narrower condition than a headline per-month discount makes it sound, and it is the only version of the claim this arithmetic supports.

The real cost calculator will price any of these plans against a single month, and why the advertised price is almost never what you pay covers the other two ways a headline figure gets smaller than a month.

What else do people ask about GLP-1 prepay plans?

• Does a 12-month GLP-1 prepay actually save money?Only if you finish the term. Of the 625 prepay plans this roster can price, 292 have broken even by month three and 333 have not, and every refund policy on record says the difference is gone if you stop.
• What happens if I cancel a GLP-1 prepay plan early?At every one of the 2 companies whose refund terms are on record here, nothing is returned for the unused part of the term. That is the finding that turns this from an arithmetic question into a real one.
• How is the break-even month calculated?It is the first month at which paying month to month would have cost at least as much as the prepay charge already on the card, computed from each company's own published rate and term, never estimated.
• Is a shorter prepay term safer than a longer one?On this roster, yes: every rung of three months or less breaks even by month 3, while none of the rungs longer than three months breaks even before month 1.
