Cheapest GLP-1 providers without insurance
If no plan is paying, the only number that matters is what leaves your account every month at a dose that works. Ranked on exactly that.

Most people buying a GLP-1 online have no coverage for it. Compounded medication is not reimbursed by any insurer, and roughly two thirds of commercial plans exclude branded weight-loss drugs outright, so the cash price is the real price for the majority of this market.
That makes the ranking simple and the marketing misleading. We rank on the sustained monthly total at a maintenance dose — medication plus every fee you cannot avoid — and we do not award positions to introductory rates that expire or promo codes that can be withdrawn.
How we picked
- Sustained monthly total at a maintenance dose, with every mandatory fee included
- No insurance required at any point
- Price does not rise as the dose escalates
- No introductory rate that expires into a materially higher standard rate
- No auto-rebill or multi-month lock-in required to reach the advertised price
CoreAge Rx
The cash-pay reference is $79/month equivalent for semaglutide and $129 for tirzepatide on twelve-month plans. One-month rates are $139 and $199 respectively. No separate membership is advertised, but compare the total paid, included services and refund terms with an insured route’s actual copay and required care charges.
- Membership
- None — no membership, sign-up or auto-rebill fees
- Medication type
- Compounded only
- Best for
- People who have been burned by teaser pricing elsewhere and want the commercial terms — no subscription, no dose-based re-rating, refund if declined — stated in writing before they hand over a card.
Fridays
$117/month for compounded semaglutide and $198 for tirzepatide with no membership, sign-up or lab fees, and a support bundle nothing else here matches: unlimited provider visits, group coaching, one-to-one dietitian and journey support, a fitness app and an insurance concierge. Second on price, first on what the price contains. Its pricing page displayed two conflicting figures per product when we reviewed it, and the lower rate needs a promo code.
- Membership
- $0 — no membership, sign-up or lab fees
- Medication type
- Branded and compounded
- Best for
- People who want the coaching, dietitian and group-support scaffolding around the medication rather than the cheapest possible vial, and who will pin down the exact price in writing before paying.
Mochi Health
$60 compounded semaglutide and $90 tirzepatide are the lowest medication prices we verified anywhere, and Mochi publishes all eleven of its medication prices openly. The $79 membership brings semaglutide to $139 all-in. You can calculate your true cost from Mochi's own site without starting an intake, which is the test this category mostly fails.
- Membership
- $79/month standard
- Medication type
- Branded and compounded
- Best for
- Cost-sensitive buyers who have decided on compounded therapy and want transparent pricing before committing.
Measured
$119 compounded semaglutide with medication included on a $49 membership — $168 all-in — funding obesity-trained providers, registered dietitians and care coordinators with unlimited messaging. Its catalogue also labels every line for whether insurance is required and whether medication is included, which makes the cash-pay lines genuinely easy to read.
- Membership
- From $49/month, cancel anytime
- Medication type
- Branded and compounded
- Best for
- People who want one provider to cover both a compounded start and a branded, insurance-billed escalation without switching services, and who value dietitian access as part of the package.
Amble
No membership fees or hidden costs, no insurance required, unlimited 24/7 support and free shipping — terms that belong near the top of this list. It sits fifth because it advertises $99, $135 and $179 for GLP-1 plans on the same homepage without saying which molecule or dose any of them covers, so it cannot be compared until checkout.
- Membership
- None — no membership fees or hidden costs
- Medication type
- Compounded only
- Best for
- People who want a no-membership cash-pay plan with round-the-clock support and are willing to pin the actual price down at checkout.

OrderlyMeds
Its $74 semaglutide intro is the cheapest entry point anywhere, but it requires two months paid upfront at the lowest dose and expires into $149. The disclosure is the best in the category — named 503A pharmacies and published BMI thresholds.
Eden
Advertises $99 but charges about $198 once its mandatory $99 membership is added. Listed here as the clearest example of why this page ranks on totals rather than headlines.
Alloy Health
$70 medication on a $99 programme fee — $169 all-in — with menopause-specialised clinicians. Unavailable in seven states plus DC, including California.
