Is a GLP-1 microdose actually cheaper?

Every microdose price on this roster, set beside the same company's full-dose ladder.

GLP America, Publisher · Prices read on the company's own pages · How we review

At the 3 companies that price one separately, yes. At bmiMD it is not cheaper at all (the microdose pages carry the identical four prices), and at 3 more the advertised figure is a prepay rung.

What this piece found

Every company, counted

412 companies published on this site. 105 mention a microdose anywhere in the record, and 18 carry a price rung whose own label says microdose: Measured, RxSaludable, LVNG RX, Rewinding RX, iThriveMD, Noom, Believe Health, Enhance MD, Nolu, Näky, Lemonaid Health, HumeCare+, LunaRx, Metaboost Rx, New Wave Health, RX Bella, ElitePhysiqMD, and Apex MD. The other 87 sell one as a product without giving it a rung of its own, and their advertised figures are quoted below rather than counted as ladder prices. Every figure dates from August 31, 2026. A rung is a microdose here because the seller called it one; this site takes no view on what dose is therapeutic.

Who sells a microdose?

105 of 412 companies, which makes it a real segment rather than a curiosity, and the pricing of it is less consistent than anything else on this roster. Some treat it as a cheaper plan, some as a separate product line, and one as the same plan with a different page.

Two of those rows are Noom's, and they need their label read: both are twelve-week subscriptions rather than months, so what looks like a monthly figure is a rate on a twelve-week clock. That is the billing-unit problem in miniature and it is worked through in why a three-month plan often isn't three months.

Is it cheaper by the month?

Where the comparison can be made, yes, and by a real margin, but the comparison can only be made twice. 23 of the 31 microdose rungs on this roster sit beside a full-dose single month at the same company, and both of them come in below it: by $40 at Measured and by $20 at Rewinding RX and by $152.75 at iThriveMD and by $150 at Noom and by $43 at Enhance MD and by $123.50 at iThriveMD and by $120 at Noom and by $20 at Nolu and by $104 at iThriveMD and by $100 at Noom and by $100 at Lemonaid Health and by $100 at Lemonaid Health and by $50 at RX Bella. The rest either price the microdose on a longer term or sell no full-dose single month to compare it against. Measured's is the cheapest figure on the whole roster that includes a drug, at $79 a month.

Enhance MD is the clearest of them because it publishes the dose. Its microdosing tirzepatide card reads Starting at $169 /month (1mg/week), against $212 for its full-dose semaglutide plan: the one place on this roster where a company sells the more expensive molecule for less money and tells you exactly why.

Where is it not cheaper at all?

At bmiMD, and precision matters here because the two pages look different. Compounded semaglutide runs $159, $149, $129 and $119 down its four rungs; microdose semaglutide runs $159, $149, $129 and $119. Tirzepatide runs $249, $229, $189 and $179; microdose tirzepatide runs $249, $229, $189 and $179. Identical, rung for rung.

What differs is the number struck through beside each one: $199.80 on the semaglutide microdose page against $228.60 on the full-dose page, and $299.70 against $349.20 on the tirzepatide pair. The discount looks different. The price is the same price.

Is the advertised microdose price a real single month?

At 3 of them, no. AgelessRx advertises microdosing semaglutide at Starting at $99 / mo Monthly, 2-mo, and 4-mo plans Starting price applies to 4-mo plans, its own sentence, with the condition attached. Alan Health prices microdosing From $145/mo* *Paid upfront with a 6-month plan.

Ivy Rx is the odd one. Its microdose hero reads From $77 (4 doses/month) and appears on the home page, the weight-loss page and the microdose page itself, with no term beside it on any of them. On its full-dose funnel, the $97 advertised the same way turns out to be the twelve-month rung of a four-rung ladder. Its microdose funnel isn't on record, so what the $77 requires is unknown, and no public page says either.

What about the price per milligram?

It cannot be computed from what these companies publish, and inventing one would be worse than leaving the question open. 1 of the 31 microdose rungs on this roster states a dose: Enhance MD's, at microdosing tirzepatide, 1 mg/week. The rest price a plan and leave the milligrams to the prescriber.

Compounded doses are titrated, so one figure for a range of doses is common. The same-price-at-every-dose answer covers who promises exactly that and what their own exclusions take back. It does mean a per-milligram comparison across these companies is not available to anyone, us included.

What this doesn't claim

Nothing clinical. Whether a lower dose is appropriate, effective or safe for anyone is a question for a prescriber, and this site has no clinician on its masthead and does not invent one. What it can do is read the price off the page and set it beside the same company's other prices, which is what the table above is.

It also does not treat a microdose as a smaller version of a known quantity. At Measured the plan is described as weekly lower-dose semaglutide or tirzepatide, which is two different molecules in one sentence, and the site never resolves it. So neither do we.
