The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

Gala Health

Women who have already committed to a full year and want one all-doses-included rate — plus, unusually, an HRT and menopause line running on the same account as the weight program.

Reasons to consider it

  • $179/mo on a yearly subscription, with every dose included, so the price does not climb as you titrate — dose escalation is where most flat-looking programs quietly get expensive
  • The price list is public and un-gated: the compounded tier and the brand tier are both printed before any quiz, intake or email capture
  • Both compounded molecules — semaglutide and tirzepatide — prescribable on one account

What to weigh up

  • No month-to-month price exists anywhere on the site. "FROM $179/month" sits directly above "All doses included. Yearly subscription.", and the cheapest alternative the FAQ names is "$199 per month (with a 3-month plan)" — three months is the shortest published commitment there is
  • $179/mo is $2,148 committed for the year, and that total is printed nowhere, which makes it hard to compare with a price you can cancel next month
  • Compounded semaglutide is advertised from $129 a month, but the plan length behind that figure isn't shown before checkout

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

LifeMD

Insured shoppers chasing a low brand-name GLP-1 copay who understand that the program fee and the medication are billed separately.

Reasons to consider it

  • Prescribes FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s: the Wegovy pill and pen, Foundayo tablets, and Zepbound vials and pens
  • Publishes self-pay starting prices: Wegovy pill $149, Wegovy pen $199 and Zepbound vial $299 a month, before the program fee
  • Insured patients may pay as little as $0 to $25 per fill, and LifeMD's team runs the insurance check for you

What to weigh up

  • The $149 monthly program fee is charged on top of the medication, so the cheapest self-pay option, the Wegovy pill, comes to about $298 a month
  • The $39 first month is a discount on the program fee only, and page banners quoting $75 or $29 don't say which plan they apply to
  • Zepbound vials start at about $448 a month once the program fee is added
