Cheapest on real annual cost: Collective, at about $907 for a first year — or Embody, at about $948, if you would rather not carry a membership fee. Measured on annualised cost rather than the advertised number, the cheapest plan among these nineteen providers is Collective's compounded semaglutide at $59 a month plus a $199 annual membership, added on 28 September 2026: about $907 for a first year, billed month to month with no prepaid term. Close behind is Embody's compounded semaglutide at $79 a month, billed on a true calendar month — about $948 for a year — with nothing else to keep track of. The billing-interval caveat that matters here is a different one: $79 is a promotional price sitting under a site-wide banner with no published end date, so it is today's rate rather than a rate you can plan twelve months around. Check the live price before you commit and you are buying the number you actually saw.

The Collective, Embody, Trimi Health and CoreAge Rx links are affiliate links; the link to the table is not. Collective's $59 is billed monthly plus a $199 annual membership after a 21-day trial; Embody's $79 is a promotional price billed monthly; Trimi’s $99 equivalent requires annual prepayment; CoreAge Rx is a one-time purchase with a non-refundable $50 to $100 consultation fee. All four supply compounded semaglutide, which is not FDA-approved.

Every price, annualised, cheapest first
This is the same nineteen providers as our main comparison, but with each plan broken out by medication and multiplied across a full year using the billing interval the provider publishes. A tilde means we calculated the number rather than read it.
Buttons in the table below that go to a provider are marked as affiliate links. Ro, TrimRx, SkinnyRx and Bodybuilding Health+ link to our own reviews instead.

Some providers’ listed prices do not specify a billing interval. Any annual figure based on an assumed interval is an illustration, not a verified quote. Confirm the recurring amount, charge dates, upfront commitment and included services before using that figure in a decision.
Why the cheapest advertised price is almost never the cheapest plan
Three mechanics move the real number, and none of them appear next to the headline price.
Promotional pricing. Embody's $79 and $129 sit under a site-wide promotional banner. Synergy Rx displays a "2026 Promo Applied" banner over its prices. A promotional rate is a real price for as long as it lasts, but it is not a rate you can plan a year of treatment around, and none of these companies publish an end date. Practical version: screenshot the price and the terms on the day you sign up, and buy on the assumption the promotion ends — if it holds, you are ahead; if it does not, you already knew the standing number.
What is actually included. Ro's $149 is a membership fee. The medication is not in it. That is not a criticism — Ro is the only provider here built around FDA-approved branded product and an insurance claim — but it means the $149 row and the $99 row are not two prices for the same thing. Compare like with like: medication-included plans against medication-included plans, and membership fees against membership fees.
Why the billing interval matters
Our original WellMedr example used an August advertisement. We have removed those figures from the table because they no longer describe the offer checked September 17. See the current review for the dated offer check and the questions your own checkout needs to answer.
For a useful comparison, enter the recurring charge and interval from your quote in our cost calculator. Account separately for an introductory period or a prepaid term. Do not assume that a shipping interval determines when your card is charged.
Our WellMedr cancellation guide has also been updated. Older notice-period summaries are superseded.

The cheapest plan with no subscription attached
CoreAge Rx sells compounded semaglutide at $99 and tirzepatide at $149 as one-time purchases rather than a subscription, with refills ordered manually. On annual cost it ties with Trimi Health, and it is the only provider here sold without a subscription — though CoreAge’s FAQ and its 13 August 2026 refund policy now disagree over whether anything renews, so confirm which you are buying at checkout.
There is a catch worth knowing before you treat that as a clean win. Buy a 6 or 12-month plan and cancel early, and CoreAge Rx re-bills medication already shipped at the higher 3-month rate. Its consultation fee of $50 to $100 is also non-refundable under the refund policy, even though the FAQ on the same site promises a full refund to anyone a provider declines. Details are in our CoreAge Rx review. Practical version: buy the shortest term rather than a 6 or 12-month plan and the early-cancellation re-bill clause has nothing to bite on, and treat the $50 to $100 consultation fee as spent the moment you book. Do those two things and this is the cheapest way in the table to buy GLP-1 medication without a subscription attached — though CoreAge’s FAQ and its 13 August 2026 refund policy now disagree over whether anything renews.
Buy once, no subscription — CoreAge Rx ↗ See every no-subscription provider
The CoreAge Rx link is an affiliate link; the comparison link is not. CoreAge Rx is a one-time purchase at $99 semaglutide and $149 tirzepatide, its $50 to $100 consultation fee is non-refundable, and the medication is compounded, not FDA-approved.
Where cheap gets expensive: the terms
Price and refund generosity are not correlated in this market. Trimi Health is near the bottom of the price table and has the most generous pre-prescription refund policy we read, returning the consultation fee as well as the medication cost if a clinician declines you. Bodybuilding Health+ publishes every price tier openly and attaches an all-sales-final policy to them. Oak's terms state that once a provider approves your order and it reaches the pharmacy it cannot be cancelled or refunded, explicitly including attempts to reroute or refuse the parcel with the carrier.
Compare cost alongside refund exposure. Our updated Trimi review explains the distinction between ordinary cancellation and a conditional satisfaction promise. Request the specific terms for a prepaid plan before committing.
Who each end of the table suits
Going for the cheapest number makes sense if
- You have already decided that a compounded preparation is acceptable to you, and you understand it is not FDA-approved.
- You can absorb a full cycle's charge if you cancel late, because most of these providers will not refund it.
- You are willing to diarise the renewal date and cancel with several days in hand.
- You are buying semaglutide rather than tirzepatide, where the spread between providers is narrower in absolute dollars.
Pay more, or look elsewhere, if
- You want an approved branded medication. Ask your clinician about appropriate options and compare medication, visits, required tests and any membership charge together.
- You have insurance that might cover a branded GLP-1, in which case an insurance-first provider can beat every cash price here.
- You need a published billing interval and refund window before you will enter a card — two providers here do not publish one.
- You expect to stop within a few weeks. On most of these plans the money is gone the moment a clinician signs the prescription.

So which one should you actually pick?
The table answers "what does it cost". This answers "which one do I buy". Every figure below is the annualised number from the table above rather than the advertised one, and every compounded plan named here is a preparation that is not FDA-approved.
Lowest annual cost, and a promotional price is acceptable to you — Embody. About $948 a year for compounded semaglutide at $79 a month, billed on a true calendar month, which is the cheapest annualised plan in the comparison. The $79 sits under a site-wide promotional banner with no published end date, so check the live price on the day you sign up and buy the number you actually saw.
You never want anything to auto-renew — CoreAge Rx. $99 semaglutide and $149 tirzepatide as one-time purchases with refills ordered manually — the same annual cost as Trimi Health, and the only provider here sold without a subscription — though CoreAge’s own refund policy now describes automatic renewals as well. Buy the shortest term and the early-cancellation re-bill clause never applies to you; the $50 to $100 consultation fee is non-refundable either way.
You want FDA-approved branded medication — Sesame, or Ro. Sesame's care subscription plus branded semaglutide is about $2,496 a year all in, the cheapest route to an FDA-approved product in this table, though it is billed as two separate things: care once a year and medication at the pharmacy. Ro is the other provider built around branded product and an insurance claim, and its $888 to $1,788 is membership alone with medication billed separately. Ro pays us nothing, so the Ro link below goes to our own review rather than to Ro.
Your dose is going up and you want one flat price — Pallas Health. $139 for the first month and then $597 every twelve weeks, about $2,527 a year with medication included and the same price at every dose. Watch the interval: that is four renewals a year, not twelve monthly payments, so put the twelve-week date in your calendar rather than a monthly one and the renewal never lands unannounced.
You have insurance that might cover a branded GLP-1 — Found. Its insurance-price plan is about $1,188 a year for care when you prepay twelve months, plus copays of roughly $30 a visit. The month-to-month version bills every 28 days — thirteen charges a year, not twelve — so run the free benefits check first and prepay only if you are confident you will stay the year.

The Embody, Trimi Health, CoreAge Rx, Sesame, Pallas Health and Found links are affiliate links; the Ro link is not, because Ro pays us nothing. Material terms: Embody's $79 is promotional and billed monthly; Trimi’s $99 equivalent requires annual prepayment; CoreAge Rx charges a non-refundable $50 to $100 consultation fee; Pallas Health bills $597 every twelve weeks after a $139 first month; Found's month-to-month plan bills every 28 days, thirteen times a year. Embody, Trimi Health, CoreAge Rx, Pallas Health and Found supply compounded medication, which is not FDA-approved; Sesame's medication is FDA-approved branded product bought separately at the pharmacy.
Buy off this table when
- You have written down the actual charge dates and calculated the total for the same comparison period, including any price change after a promotion.
- You have put the renewal date in your calendar with several days in hand, so a cancellation is never a late one.
- You have read the refund policy next to the price, not after you have paid.
- You have accepted that a compounded preparation is not FDA-approved, or you have chosen one of the branded routes instead.
Wait, and get it in writing, when
- The provider publishes no billing period at all. Synergy Rx and Care Bare Rx do exactly that; ask, get the answer in an email, and only then decide.
- The only number you have is an "as low as" figure with no plan length attached, as with Telos Rx — treat it as a floor, not a quote.
- You think you may stop within a few weeks. On most of these plans the money is gone the moment a clinician signs the prescription.
- You are comparing branded cash-pay options. Obtain a current quote and check which care and pharmacy charges are included.

How we sourced this
We read every figure above from the provider's own public pages — product and pricing pages, FAQs, terms of use and refund or cancellation policies — on 11 August 2026, and we annualised them ourselves using the billing interval each provider publishes. We have not been through any provider's checkout, so we are reporting what the documents say rather than what a bank statement shows. Where a provider does not publish a billing interval we say so instead of guessing, and the annual figure in that row assumes monthly billing purely so the row is comparable. Providers change pricing often. If you find a discrepancy, tell us on our contact page and we will check it and update the row.
