Original pricing research · September 24, 2026 · MyGLP1Reviews editorial team
A GLP-1 starting price does not tell you how much leaves your account, how often it renews, or what you recover if you stop. We checked three providers’ public offers and policies to compare those commitments. The result is a source-linked billing report you can use alongside a personalized quote.
Ro
Membership and medication are separate. A prepaid monthly equivalent is not the amount due today.
Direct Meds
The promotional entry price differs from the standard rates in the same offer’s FAQ.
WellMedr
Advertised monthly figures must be matched to either a 21-day renewal or the selected prepaid term.
This is a purposive sample of three services covered by this site, not a market-wide survey or a clinical ranking. Some linked reviews contain affiliate links; commissions do not set the comparison criteria. Disclosure · Review method.
Three offers, three different cost questions
| Provider | Public price signal | Billing or upfront commitment | What prevents a complete quote? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ro | $39 introductory membership; $149 ongoing monthly. Lower monthly equivalents with prepayment. Medication extra. | Full selected prepaid term due upfront; separate medication charge. | Exact product/dose, coverage, chosen term, offer eligibility and future prescription cost. |
| Direct Meds | Affiliate page starts at $147; its FAQ lists semaglutide $297 and tirzepatide $399 monthly. | Terms describe 30-day subscriptions for certain products; selected checkout controls. | Promotion duration, renewal charge and whether a selected bundle changes the payment schedule. |
| WellMedr | Offer advertises semaglutide from $49/month and tirzepatide from $89/month. | Policy distinguishes a 21-day plan from fully prepaid 3-, 6- and 12-month plans. | Which plan the headline applies to, total prepaid amount and exact renewal schedule. |
All prices were observed September 24, 2026 and can change. We did not submit medical information or complete checkout. We therefore report public price signals and unresolved questions rather than label these as guaranteed all-in costs.
Ro’s page presents branded medications; the other offers describe compounded options. Matching an ingredient name does not make the formulations, evidence or care equivalent. A qualified clinician should assess the treatment first. FDA’s compounded-drug explanation is a useful starting point.
Our method: compare three separate numbers
- Due today: the actual payment collected, including any prepaid term.
- Ongoing rate: recurring charges normalized to the same period, with medication and care added where separate.
- Exit exposure: the payment or unfulfilled service that may remain non-refundable when you cancel.
We read each provider’s offer or pricing page, expanded relevant FAQs and checked the linked billing/refund policy. We record discrepancies as questions rather than resolving them in favor of the lower number. Missing details remain unknown. No rankings are based on commission rates, and no outcomes or quality scores were inferred from prices.
Why billing intervals change the comparison
The table below uses the same hypothetical $100 recurring charge to isolate billing frequency. These are not provider quotes. Annualized cost is the charge multiplied by 365 divided by the interval in days; a calendar-month plan uses 12 payments per year.
| Hypothetical interval | Annualized ongoing rate | Payment dates in first 365 days* | Cash paid if each charge is $100* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calendar month | $1,200.00 | 12 | $1,200 |
| Every 30 days | $1,216.67 | 13 | $1,300 |
| Every 28 days | $1,303.57 | 14 | $1,400 |
| Every 21 days | $1,738.10 | 18 | $1,800 |
*Assumes a payment at day 0, continuous renewal and counts payments before day 365. Some payments buy service extending beyond that window. There are no discounts, pauses or extra fees in this illustration. The annualized rate and cash-paid columns answer different questions.
Ro’s $74 monthly-equivalent annual membership implies $888 for a twelve-month term by multiplication, before medication; confirm the actual checkout amount and how the introductory month is handled. For Direct Meds, a verified $297 recurring quote every 30 days annualizes to $3,613.50. We do not multiply WellMedr’s $49 promotion by a 21-day schedule because the public headline alone does not establish that pairing.
Compare the exit terms alongside the price
| Provider | Published renewal cancellation | Refund question to resolve |
|---|---|---|
| Ro | At least 48 hours before renewal. | Paid membership generally non-refundable; no-prescription exception. Medication policies are separate. |
| Direct Meds | Disable auto-refill at least 48 hours before the next processing date. | A new prescription order has a separate 24-hour attempted-cancellation window and processing condition. |
| WellMedr | Effective on receipt; stops charges not yet submitted. | Pharmacy fulfillment start and separately accepted completed services affect the refundable portion. |
These are summaries of provider documents, not adjudications of a refund claim. Retain the version accepted at purchase. With a prepaid plan, ask support to calculate the refund for a concrete scenario, such as stopping after the first shipment.

Turn the comparison into a written quote
Ask each provider the same question: “What will I pay today, what will I pay next, on which date, for which medication and supply period, and what is refundable if I stop?” Save the answer with the checkout terms.
