Is the cheapest advertised GLP-1 price the cheapest?

The same companies, ranked twice: once on what they advertise and once on what a single month costs.

No. Of the 32 companies here that both advertise a figure and publish a price for one month, the cheapest advertised — Mochi Health at $60 — ranks 5 of 32 on a real month. Only 5 of the 10 cheapest advertised are still in the 10 cheapest once the month is priced properly.

What this piece found

The census, with its denominator

32 of the 51 companies published on this site carry both an advertised rung and a price for a single month, so those 32 are the only ones that can appear in both league tables. The other 19 either advertise no figure at all or publish no commitment-free price to compare it with, and neither absence is a claim about what they charge. Rankings are ties-included and computed at build time; every figure was read on August 31, 2026.

Does the cheapest advertised price win on a real month?

It does not. Mochi Health leads the advertised table at $60, which is the lowest headline figure anywhere in this roster. A month there costs $139, because That is the 0.22 mg starting dose, medication only. The membership is separate at $39 the first month then $79, and the medication price rises with every dose step.

The company that actually is cheapest for one month is Measured at $79, and it ranks 3 of 32 on what it advertises. Nobody comparing headline figures would have looked at it much sooner than the leader.

How far does the league table move?

Far enough that the advertised table is not useful. Of the 10 cheapest by advertised figure, 5 survive into the 10 cheapest on a real month: Mochi Health, Measured, MyFastRx, Trava, and CoreAge Rx.

The 10 cheapest advertised figures on the left, and the same 10 companies on the right in the order a real month puts them, with each one's true position out of 32 beside it. A red line means the company is further down the real table than the advertised one; gray means it held its place or improved.

Read the lines rather than the ranks. Every red line is a company whose position in a shopper's mental shortlist was bought with a figure that does not survive contact with a checkout, and 14 of the 32 companies in this data have one.

What does the whole table look like?

Both rankings, side by side, sorted by what a month actually costs. This is the table to use.

Rows on the tinted background are the companies whose advertised figure and real month are the same number. "Move" is the difference between the two rank positions: a down arrow means the company is further from the top of the table once a month is priced properly. The advertised figure is the rung each company itself marks as its headline, read off its own page or its own plan screen; the month is medication plus any membership it requires.

Who advertises a figure you can actually pay?

8 of the 32: Measured, CoreAge Rx, Maximus, Coby Health, Midi Health, Rixa Health, Care Bare Rx, and Enhance MD. These are the companies whose advertised number is a number you can pay for one month with nothing else attached, and it is a better shortlist than any ranking on this page.

Being clearest and being cheapest are different achievements, and only 5 of those 8 are also in the 10 cheapest. A reader who wants both should read the two columns together rather than sorting on either one.

Does anyone advertise a price higher than they charge?

2 companies do, which is the rarest thing in this data: Zappy Health advertises $159 and a month costs $149 and Direct Meds advertises $297 and a month costs $249.

Neither is being generous by accident. In both cases the advertised rung is simply not the cheapest thing on the site — a headline attached to one product while a different product costs less. It is still the only direction of error that costs the company money rather than the reader, and it belongs in this piece for the same reason the other direction does.

The biggest climb belongs to Zappy Health, which ranks 23 of 32 on its advertised figure and 7 of 32 on a real month — 16 places better than its own advertising suggests.

What counts as the real price here?

The real price on this site is one number: what a single month of treatment costs an American with no commitment, membership included. Nothing else goes in and nothing is left out. Where a company requires a membership to buy the medication at all, the membership is part of the price, which is why Eden's $198 is two charges rather than one.

The advertised figure is the rung each company marks as its own headline. Where a company advertises several, its review records which we took and why — for Mochi Health the gap is $79 and its own page explains it.

Two things this ranking deliberately does not do. It does not score anybody, because a score would let us put a thumb on a scale a reader cannot check. And it does not treat a company that publishes no price as expensive: 12 companies here publish no commitment-free price we could read, and they appear in neither table. What that means is its own question.

The other two pieces this one leans on: the three mechanisms that produce the gap and what happens to a cheap entry rung when the dose goes up. The calculator prices any of these plans line by line.

What else do people ask about comparing GLP-1 prices?

Where do these two numbers come from?

Both columns come out of the same place: each company's own record in this site's roster, read on its own domain or off a screen we reached ourselves on August 31, 2026. Every company name in the tables above links the review that carries the verbatim quotations, the URLs and the read date behind its two figures — 32 reviews for this page, out of 51 published here.

Nothing on this page is quoted from an aggregator, a cache or anybody else's reading, and no figure here has been rounded: where a company publishes cents, the tables print cents. If a review is corrected, both rankings move with it on the next build, which is why neither number appears anywhere in this page's own text.

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 main table is sorted by what a month costs, and both rank columns are computed from the roster at build time. Who pays us · how we review · every review.
