$349–$1,828/mo
What one month costs with no commitment, across the 6 companies on this roster that publish a figure for it.
Tirzepatide dispensed as its manufacturer's own branded, FDA-approved product, sold through a telehealth company rather than compounded for you.
The range, with its denominator
8 of the 51 companies we have reviewed sell brand tirzepatide. 6 of those 8 publish a price you can pay for a single month: the cheapest is Zappy Health at $349, the dearest is $1,828, and the middle of the published figures is $449.99. A molecule needs 3 priced companies before this site gives it a page at all.
| Company | Month to month | Advertised | Same price at every dose? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zappy Health | $349/mo | Same as above | "Zepbound Vials — Available — Cash pay only — Lilly Direct — From $349/month". |
| Ro | $448/mo | Same as above | The $449 price for 7.5 mg and higher runs through a manufacturer offer, and holding it means completing each refill check-in within 45 days of the last delivery. Miss that window and the refill bills at $499 for 7.5 mg or $699 for 10 mg and above. |
| Maximus | $449.99/mo | Same as above | Not stated |
| LifeMD | $498/mo | Same as above | "Zepbound® Vial Starting At $349/mo", read on the weight-management page. The same $149 monthly program and provider fee applies on top. |
| Effecty | $1,300/mo | Same as above | Not stated |
| Fridays | $1,828/mo | Same as above | "Zepbound® Name Brand Tirzepatide Injection $1828 / mo (1) Month-to-month plan", on the same footnote. |
| Found | Not published | Same as above | "Zepbound® from $650/mo+" and "Mounjaro® ~$1100/mo", both hedged and both under the same footnote excluding subscription fees and clinical care. |
| Measured | Not published | Same as above | Zepbound: "From $49/mo" on the medications and how-it-works pages, and on the home page "Membership from $49/mo" plus "Medication covered by insurance or cash pay ($299–$449/mo)". Mounjaro is listed "Insurance required" with no medication figure anywhere we read. |
“Month to month” is the medication rung plus any membership the company requires, so it is comparable across the column. “Advertised” is the rung the company marks in its own headline, which for 0 of these 8 is a smaller number than the one beside it. “Not published” means nothing on the company's public pages gave a price for one month with no commitment when we read them — a finding about the pages, not about the company. That applies to 2 of the 8 here.
Every row above links a full review and a cost page carrying that company's whole ladder — each prepay rung, what it charges today, and anything the price does not include. To work a single plan out line by line, the real cost calculator uses the same figures this table does.
A census of the companies we have priced first-hand: how many advertise a figure you can actually pay for a single month, how many cannot, and the three mechanisms that produce the gap.
Price transparency · MembershipsThe break-even month for every prepay plan we can price, computed from each company's own ladder, with the refund terms that decide what happens if you stop first.
