Compare Compounded GLP-1 Providers, Prices, Pharmacies, and Plan Terms

Compounded GLP-1 Guide is an evidence-led consumer publication that compares telehealth programs offering compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide. Prices are normalized to an all-inclusive effective monthly cost, providers are separated by medication and dosage form, and every figure carries a verification date and evidence status. Compounded drugs are not FDA approved. Advertised-price findings are published with full qualification from a 60-record 2026-07-20 market capture; verified all-inclusive rankings publish only once checkout evidence exists for at least three programs per category.

Chart data is drawn live from the public program database (2026-07-20 capture). Semaglutide and tirzepatide are different medications shown on one axis for scale only — they are never merged into a single ranking. Expand "View chart data as a table" for exact figures and evidence statuses.

Current status of the comparison

What's published and what isn't. A 60-record market capture (2026-07-20, official-source advertised prices) now powers this comparison, and qualified lowest captured advertised conclusions are published per category with full exclusions. In the standard-injection categories the current lowest captured advertised figures are GobyMeds for semaglutide (third-party-reviewed) and NexLife for tirzepatide (provider-reported). What remains unpublished: "most affordable" verified all-inclusive rankings, which wait for checkout-verified evidence on at least three programs per category (Methodology §9). Advertised is not verified; every figure below carries its status.

Why advertised price ≠ true cost

A "$99/month" headline can mean $178/month once a mandatory membership is added; a "$145/month" figure can require a $1,740 prepayment. Our effective-monthly-cost calculation divides total mandatory cost — medication, membership, required fees, shipping, dose surcharges — by verified months of treatment supplied, and never mixes prepaid plans with month-to-month billing without labeling both. Read the full methodology or run your own numbers in the true-cost calculator.

Ownership & conflicts

Published by US Peptides Partners LLC. The publisher has attested, as of 2026-07-20, that it has no material relationship — no affiliate, referral, advertising, ownership, or data-sharing arrangement — with any provider covered. This is a publisher attestation; see About & disclosures for the full disclosure policy and corrections route.

Advertised price vs true cost

The most expensive number in this market is the one that looks cheapest. Providers quote a medication price, a bundled price, a first-month price, or a prepaid "monthly equivalent," and the four are not interchangeable: a $99 medication price with a mandatory $79 membership is a $178 program, and a "$145/month" 12-month plan is a $1,740 payment today. Every table on this site therefore shows two numbers side by side — the advertised figure a provider promotes, and the effective monthly cost we compute — with the evidence status of each.

Advertised price is what the provider displays before checkout: real, useful for shopping, and incomplete whenever required fees sit outside it. Effective monthly cost is total mandatory cost for the treatment period — medication, membership, required consultations and labs, onboarding, shipping, dose surcharges — divided by verified months of treatment supplied, excluding coupons, credits, and financing effects.

A worked example from the captured data: Mochi Health advertises compounded semaglutide at $99 per month, flat across doses, with a required $79/month membership (resolved to its current first-party value on 2026-07-20), so a cash-pay patient's effective monthly cost is $178 — 80% above the headline — and its advertised $39 first month is a promotion that renews at the full $178. NexLife advertises $145/month effective on its 12-month plan with no reported membership or shipping, so its advertised and effective figures should match — but that plan bills $1,740 up front, so its true first-month cost is the entire year. Same market, different traps, one normalization method.

Pharmacy transparency

Behind every compounded-GLP-1 program is a pharmacy you didn't choose, and that pharmacy — not the telehealth brand — determines the formulation, concentration, beyond-use dating, and quality history of what arrives. Disclosure practices vary enormously: some providers name their dispensing pharmacy per order, some name conditional candidate lists (NexLife names five), and many name nothing. Our pharmacy database tracks every disclosed facility with per-record verification statuses, and no license, 503A/503B classification, or inspection conclusion publishes until confirmed against state boards and FDA registries. Two rules never bend: state licensing and FDA registration are facility statuses, not product approval, and no pharmacy is ever "FDA approved." Before paying any provider, run the four-step verification on the pharmacy that will fill your specific order.

How this site works

Every commercial figure lives in a public evidence ledger — source, capture date, verification status, confidence — and pages render from that database, never from hand-typed copy. Prices normalize to effective monthly cost under methodology v1.0; comparisons never cross medication, dosage-form, or program-type lines without labels; conflicting claims are suppressed and disclosed rather than averaged. Rankings gate hard: advertised-price findings publish with full qualification, and verified "most affordable" winners require at least three checkout-verified programs per category, a bar no category has met yet. When evidence is missing we say "unverified" — never zero, never assumed. The ledger, program database, and pharmacy records are downloadable as JSON and CSV for anyone who wants to check our arithmetic.

Editorial and medical review

Author and medical-reviewer profiles are published on the Authors & reviewers page; medical and clinical reviewers are named licensed providers whose NPI records are verified against the public CMS NPPES registry, and each medical or care-model page names its accountable reviewer in the byline. Roles whose underlying credentials are not yet independently verified are set to noindex and assert no medical credential. Research summaries remain noindexed until a named clinician signs them. Ownership: this site is published by US Peptides Partners LLC, which has attested as of 2026-07-20 to no material relationship — affiliate, referral, advertising, ownership, or data-sharing — with any covered provider. Full taxonomy, attestation record, and the corrections route live on the About page.

Before you buy from anyone

Five checks beat every ranking. Get the true monthly number: add mandatory membership and fees to the medication price, at your expected maintenance dose, using the true-cost calculator. Get the commitment: amount due today, refund terms in writing, and whether "monthly" means billing or just arithmetic. Get the pharmacy: the specific facility filling your order, verified in four steps. Get the renewal price, not the starter price. And get clinical advice from a licensed prescriber — including whether a compounded product is appropriate for you at all, and how it compares against FDA-approved options you may have access to. Compounded medications are not FDA approved, and nothing on this site replaces that conversation.
