Answer · read September 2026
Every company we review that sells either pill, the month with its membership added, against the maker's own self-pay price.
24 of the 412 companies reviewed here list the Wegovy pill, Foundayo or both, and 16 print a month you can add up. At the starting dose that month runs $49 to $149 above the makers' own $149, and at 13 of 16 Wegovy pill sellers the drug itself is the maker's price, so the difference is the company's membership or fee.
What this piece found
16 companies here print a price for it, from $198 to $298 a month at 1.5 mg once the required fee is added. The Wegovy pill is Novo Nordisk's semaglutide tablet, FDA-approved on December 22, 2025 per Novo's release, and NovoCare sells it for $149 at 1.5 mg, $199 at 4 mg and $299 at 9 mg and 25 mg. The oral semaglutide page lists every company here that prices a semaglutide pill of any kind.

A month, all in, is the drug at 1.5 mg plus the fee the company requires at its shortest published term. It's our arithmetic except where the row says the company prints the total itself. Mochi’s old $39 introduction is historical; its banner read October 15 advertises $79 off the first month of the one-month plan, subject to separate terms. First-month promotions are left out of the ongoing comparison: $39 at Ro, Hims, Hers and LifeMD, $25 at WeightWatchers. WeightWatchers publishes no month-to-month Med+ plan, so its row uses the 6-month rate.
10 companies here print a Foundayo price, from $199.99 to $298 a month at 0.8 mg all in. Foundayo is Eli Lilly's orforglipron. In Lilly's words, Foundayo is a once-daily small molecule (non-peptide) oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist
. FDA approved it on April 1, 2026, per Lilly's release. LillyDirect sells it for $149 at 0.8 mg, against a list price of $649. It has its own brand orforglipron page, with every company here that sells it.
| Company | Drug | Required fee | A month, all in | Above LillyDirect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LillyDirect (Eli Lilly)The maker's own self-pay pharmacy; a prescription is still needed | $149 | $0 | $149 | Baseline |
| MaximusNone published | $199.99 | $0 | $199.99Company's figure | $50.99 more |

Same method as the Wegovy pill table, at Foundayo's 0.8 mg starting dose. Every company pricing Foundayo here also prices the Wegovy pill, so these 10 rows are a subset of the 16 above.
Between $49 and $149 a month at the starting dose, and at most companies all of it is the membership. Measured and Zappy say NovoCare bills the drug, Mochi and Ivím say the maker sets its price, and WeightWatchers says Foundayo is dispensed through LillyDirect. At those companies the drug is the maker's price by definition, and the company's fee is the whole difference.
Two shapes break that pattern. Maximus prints no membership and charges more for the drug itself: $249.99 for the Wegovy pill and $199.99 for Foundayo. HealthiCare and GoodGirlRx bundle everything into one figure, $268.68 and $297; HealthiCare's own itemized month puts the drug alone at $153.90, $4.90 above NovoCare, before $114.78 in fees. The same arithmetic across every molecule, not just pills, is in why the advertised price is almost never what you pay, and the tirzepatide premium covers how much more the injectable Lilly drug costs than semaglutide.
For a ranked view of every pill on the roster, compounded ones included and labeled, see the list. The Ro review carries its Foundayo ladder dose by dose, and SkinnyRx lists both brand pills as unavailable for now.
Mostly, because most companies charge the maker's ladder and a flat fee. NovoCare steps from $149 to $199 at 4 mg and $299 at 9 mg and 25 mg; LillyDirect holds Foundayo at $149 at 2.5 mg and $199 at 5.5 mg through December 31, 2026, then $299 from 9 mg. The top two Foundayo doses stay at $299 only while refills come within 45 days.
Four companies print a ladder that departs from the maker's:
The pricing provided is an estimate only and is not final.
There are 9, counting LifeMD for Foundayo only. Each lists a pill on its own pages without a month you could total:
| Company | Lists | What the page shows |
|---|---|---|
| LifeMD | Foundayo | Foundayo is on the weight-management page, marked new, with no Foundayo price beside it. Its Wegovy pill is priced in the table above. |
| Fridays | Wegovy pill | The Wegovy pill card prices the membership only, “meds excl.”: $49 your first month, then as low as $98/mo with a prepaid annual plan. |
| MEDVi | Wegovy pill | The Wegovy pill card reads $99 Membership + Medication Costand names no medication figure. |
| Noom | Wegovy pill and Foundayo | Both pills are cards on the Noom Med page, neither with a price. |
| OakPartner | Wegovy pill | Oral Wegovy tablets are listed; the brand Wegovy price reads “Quoted at checkout”. |
| FuturHealth | Wegovy pill | The current public site advertises Wegovy pill and Foundayo introductory prices, but does not establish an all-in ongoing total; subscription fees exclude medication. |
| FoundPartner | Foundayo | Foundayo is in its medication list with no figure of Found's own; its plans are priced without saying which medication they cover. |
| Allara Health | Wegovy pill and Foundayo | Both are on its prescription page, sent to a pharmacy you choose, with no price on the GLP-1 card. |
| SkinnyRxPartner | Wegovy pill and Foundayo | Both product pages read “Unavailable”. |
That makes 24 companies of 412 that list at least one of the two pills, and 14 that list both. Gala Health and WeightRx put the Wegovy pill on their menus as “coming soon” and aren't counted.
Rarely through these companies; every price above is cash. Ro's Wegovy pill page says The Wegovy pill is only available as a cash-pay option.
Its Foundayo page, by contrast, says Ro checks your insurance to see if GLP-1 coverage is available.
LifeMD's footnote adds If using insurance, eligible and qualified patients may pay as low as $0-$25 co-pay for medication.
The makers run their own programs for insured patients. Lilly says If you are eligible and commercially insured with coverage for Foundayo, you could pay as low as $25 a month.
NovoCare's offer for the Wegovy pill reads Pay as little as $25, subject to a maximum savings of $100/month.
Which companies take insurance at all is covered in does anyone take your insurance?
Because some sites sell compounded semaglutide in tablet or dissolving form, and that isn't the Wegovy pill. The Wegovy pill is Novo Nordisk's own product, approved by FDA. A compounded tablet is made by a pharmacy, and FDA is plain about the difference: compounded drugs are not FDA approved. This means the agency does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed.
You'll see both on the same page sometimes. Mochi lists Compounded Semaglutide Pill As low as $62
beside its brand Wegovy pill card. The MEDVi card just before its Wegovy pill reads Starting at $249 GLP-1 Tablets One dissolvable tablet per day.
MEDGm's tablet sits on a page titled for compounded semaglutide tablets and costs First month $249, then $369/mo
, which is not a price for the Wegovy pill at all.
FDA lists one of its telehealth red flags as a company that makes claims such as the compounded drug is the same as an FDA-approved drug
. If a pill's page doesn't name a brand (Wegovy, Rybelsus or Foundayo) and its maker, read it as compounded until it says otherwise. Does the company name the molecule? covers which companies say what they sell.
Each sentence below is quoted from the publisher's own page as of September 2026, with the space between separate page elements collapsed and “…” marking text between two cards. The monthly totals in the tables are ours unless a row says otherwise.
