The Bench · Buyer's shortlist · Updated September 2026

The cheapest GLP-1 providers that are actually worth it.

Dozens of telehealths now advertise a rock-bottom GLP-1 price. Most quietly drop a molecule, a batch of states, or their pharmacy verification to hit it. We modeled the real cost of ownership — and ranked the cheap options that hold up.

Cost readout

10 providers · both molecules · September 2026

Highest reading on the Cost-Efficiency Index is CoreAge Rx at 94/100; lowest disclosed sticker is Ondra Health at $93/mo. A headline price is a single number — usually the cheaper molecule, on its cheapest month. The bench prints four instead: both disclosed monthly rates, the same rate carried out twelve months, and the two index factors that decide whether it holds.

The value-ranking

10 providers that publish a real monthly semaglutide price, in Cost-Efficiency Index order.

  1. #1

    CoreAge Rx

    #1 by value

    Best value in the ranking: both molecules at one flat, all-50 price with no teaser step-ups — the lowest true cost of ownership, not the lowest teaser.

    Semaglutide:

    States:
    All 50 states
    Grade:
    A
  2. #2

    Found

    A real insurance-billing pathway on both molecules — but the widely-quoted $99/mo headline requires an insurance plan AND a full year prepaid upfront; the true no-commitment rate is $199-289/mo.

    Semaglutide:
    $199/mo (insurance-linked)
    States:
    All 50 states

    Ondra Health

    Cheapest sticker

    A rare combination — near-rock-bottom pricing on both molecules, all-50 access, brand-name availability, and a LegitScript-verified pharmacy behind it.

    $93/mo
    States:
    All 50 states
    Grade:

  4. #4

    ShedRx (Shed)

    The widest set of formats in the ranking — injection, drops, lozenges and a daily oral pill, plus a real brand Zepbound route — though its cheapest advertised rates need a year-long commitment.

    Semaglutide:
    $199/mo ($159 on a 12-month plan)
    States:
    All 50 states
    Grade:

  5. #5

    Strut Health

    $99/month sublingual semaglutide — among the lowest entry costs we track — from one of the very few programs selling the same molecule as a lozenge or an injection at a single price.

    Semaglutide:
    From $99/mo sublingual, $149/mo injectable
    States:
    49 states (not Arkansas)

Cheapest GLP-1, answered

What is the cheapest GLP-1 provider?
Ondra Health lists the lowest disclosed monthly semaglutide price we track at $93/mo. But cheapest sticker isn't automatically best value — the lowest-priced programs often trade away nationwide access or pharmacy verification. On our Cost-Efficiency Index, CoreAge Rx ranks #1 at 94/100 because its flat, all-50 price has no teaser step-up.
Is the cheapest semaglutide the best value?
Not usually. A $65/mo teaser that serves only 10 states, or a sub-$100 price with no LegitScript verification, can cost you more over a year than a slightly higher flat price that's nationwide and modelable. We rank on normalized cost weighed against access, transparency, formulation and oversight — the real cost of ownership, not the sticker.
How much does compounded GLP-1 cost per month?
Among the providers here, disclosed compounded semaglutide runs from $93/mo up to the mid-$200s per month. Use our free Monthly Cost Calculator to model any provider's monthly and annual cost, and the Savings Estimator to see the gap vs brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound.
How does WeighLab rank the cheapest GLP-1 providers?
Every provider is scored on six measurable factors — normalized cost per month, price transparency, nationwide access, formulation options, clinical oversight and contract flexibility. Payment never adds a point to the Cost-Efficiency Index, and the score shown on this page is the unmodified one. Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission if you sign up through our links, at no extra cost to you. See our disclosure and methodology.
