Most "cheapest GLP-1" rankings sort by advertised starting price. The problem: many programs raise prices at higher dose tiers, so patients pay considerably more once they reach maintenance dose. The right comparison is total annual cost at the dose you'll actually be on for most of the year. That's what we've ranked above.
For most cash-pay patients: NexLife on the 12-month plan — $145/mo semaglutide or $186/mo tirzepatide, holding through all dose titration steps. Annual cost: $1,740 semaglutide or $2,232 tirzepatide. See the full NexLife review.
If you have insurance coverage for branded GLP-1, the cost can be lower than any cash-pay compounded option. See our insurance coverage guide.
