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.

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.
The other rankings
- Cheapest GLP-1 for a full year — the same roster ordered by twelve-month cost, no value weighting, partners listed first.
- Cheapest tirzepatide over 12 months — a molecule-specific annual board, for readers who already know they want tirzepatide.
- Zepbound cost — start here instead if you specifically want the FDA-approved brand, not a compounded copy.
