The full pricing map for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide across 35 providers, updated monthly.
The pricing landscape in May 2026
The cost of GLP-1 therapy in the United States spans an enormous range — from $99/mo for the cheapest compounded options to $1,349/mo for pharmacy-list brand Wegovy without insurance. Most patients land in the $145–$300/mo range with a combination of compounded programs and brand subscriptions.
What this means for you
For most cash-pay patients, the practical question is whether to pay $145–$200/mo for compounded semaglutide or to navigate insurance and savings cards for brand drugs. Our highest-rated cash-pay compounded program is NexLife at $145/mo for semaglutide and $186/mo for tirzepatide, with labs and coaching included.
