4 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than Wisp's $225 a month.
Wisp is a US telehealth provider whose weight care line offers brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda alongside compounded sublingual semaglutide drops at $225/month.
Best for: Shoppers who want brand-name injectables with a sublingual semaglutide option.
What Wisp does well
- Broad GLP-1 menu — branded injectables (Wegovy, Zepbound, Saxenda) plus a compounded sublingual option
- LegitScript certified with named board-certified providers (Dr. Shannon Chatham DO, Andrea Sleeth WHNP-BC)
- Unusually candid about the sublingual option's limits, noting effectiveness in patients may vary
Why readers look for an alternative
- The $99 Weight Care Consult is a care charge, not a Zepbound price; no monthly billing period is stated, and the medication is paid for separately at your pharmacy
- The compounded semaglutide is sublingual drops; Wisp says this formulation has not been tested in the human body, so effectiveness in patients may vary
- Brand-name access is a prescription, not a dispensed product, so the drug cost is outside anything quoted here
