Best GLP-1 Providers of 2026: Ranked and Reviewed

Finding a GLP-1 provider sounds simple until you actually try. Prices range from $69 to over $1,000 a month depending on the medication type, and dozens of telehealth companies have entered the market since semaglutide became a household name. Sorting out the real differences takes time most people don't have. The single most important distinction is whether a provider offers compounded or brand-name GLP-1s. Compounded medications contain the same active ingredient but are not FDA-approved as finished products, and the price difference is dramatic. This guide ranks the best GLP-1 providers of 2026 based on cost, medication access, support quality, and how well they handle insurance, so you can compare them side by side before committing.

Prices are as of May 2026 per each provider's website (verified post-intake where applicable) and may change.

What's new in 2026: Foundayo (orforglipron)

The FDA approved Eli Lilly's Foundayo, the first oral GLP-1 receptor agonist for chronic weight management, on April 1, 2026 (FDA approval announcement). It's a once-daily pill that doesn't require food or water restrictions. The cheapest verified path is LillyDirect at $149/month for the 0.8mg starter dose, direct from Eli Lilly with no telehealth platform fees — but it's fulfillment-only, so you need an existing prescription from any licensed provider. As of May 2026, five telehealth providers also stock Foundayo with prescribing included: Found, Hers, Hims, Ro, and Shed, all at $149/month medication for the 0.8mg starter dose (escalating to $199/mo at 2.5mg and $299/mo at 5.5mg–17.2mg). Total monthly cost depends on each provider's membership structure: Found at $248/mo total ($149 medication + $99 CORE membership on 12-mo plan), Hers/Hims at $298/mo total ($149 + $149 membership), Shed at $274/mo total ($149 + $125 Shed Membership), and Ro at $298/mo first-month total ($149 + $149 membership), with Ro's medication escalating to $199–$299/mo at higher doses. For patients who want an FDA-approved oral GLP-1 without the regulatory ambiguity of compounded formulations, Foundayo is the most affordable starting price currently available.

Hims

Hims entered the GLP-1 market with an official Novo Nordisk partnership and now offers a broad brand-name catalog. The catalog as of May 2026: Wegovy pill ($149/mo medication), Wegovy pen ($199/mo), Foundayo ($149/mo starter, escalating by dose), Zepbound (vial or KwikPen, $299/mo starter), and Ozempic ($199/mo, off-label for weight loss). All require a $149/month Hims Weight Loss Membership ($39 first month). Hims discontinued oral compounded semaglutide in Q1 2026 after striking a partnership with Novo Nordisk to sell brand-name GLP-1s instead. It suits patients who want brand-name credibility and a low-friction app experience, but Hims does not actively help with insurance prior authorization. See how it stacks up in our Hims vs Ro comparison.

---

Hers

Hers is the women's-focused arm of the Hims & Hers brand and operates under the same Novo Nordisk partnership. The catalog is entirely brand-name as of May 2026: Wegovy pill ($149/mo medication), Wegovy pen ($199/mo), Foundayo ($149/mo starter), Zepbound vial or KwikPen ($299/mo starter), Ozempic ($199/mo, off-label for weight loss), and Mounjaro ($1,899/mo, essentially retail since Lilly has no self-pay program for Mounjaro). All require the $149/month Hers Weight Loss Membership ($39 first month). Hers discontinued its $69/month compounded oral semaglutide pill in March 2026 after the Novo Nordisk partnership, so the platform is no longer a compounded option.

---

Ro

Ro's main advantage over most competitors is built-in insurance coordination. The care team actively helps patients navigate prior authorization for brand-name GLP-1s including Wegovy and Zepbound, which most platforms leave entirely to the patient. Catalog as of May 2026: Wegovy (pill or pen), Zepbound KwikPen, and Foundayo, plus compounded semaglutide in select states as an intake-only fallback. Pricing follows an introductory model: first-month medication runs $149 (Wegovy pill, Foundayo), $199 (Wegovy pen), or $299 (Zepbound KwikPen); ongoing rates step up to $199–$299/mo (Wegovy pill, Foundayo), $199–$399/mo (Wegovy pen), or $399–$449/mo (Zepbound KwikPen) depending on dose. Membership is $149/month month-to-month or $74/month on the annual plan; annual prepay also saves $50/month on Wegovy pill and $150/month on Wegovy pen.

---

Henry Meds

Henry Meds is a true all-inclusive provider: one flat price covers the compounded medication, medical consultations, supplies, and follow-up visits, with no separate membership fee. Pricing varies by commitment length and is published transparently on Henry Meds' programs page (May 2026). Compounded semaglutide injection runs $297/month on month-to-month, $247/month on 6-month paid in full ($1,482 upfront), and $197/month on 12-month paid in full ($2,364 upfront). Compounded liraglutide (a daily-injection alternative) is cheaper at $179/month month-to-month or $119/month on 12-month paid in full. Sublingual semaglutide is $179/month. Henry Meds does not offer compounded tirzepatide as an injection; tirzepatide is available only as oral tablets at $349/month on a 3-month subscription ($297/month if paid in full upfront). The trade-off is minimal support: Henry Meds is primarily an async prescription service with no coaching or dietitian access. Note that compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished products.

---

TrimRx

TrimRx keeps the model simple: one all-inclusive price covers the compounded medication, medical consultation, supplies, and shipping with no hidden fees. Public-facing prices on trimrx.com say "Starting at $179/month" for compounded semaglutide and "Starting at $259/month" for compounded tirzepatide (May 2026). The "starting at" framing typically reflects a 12-month commitment tier or promotional rate; checkout pricing for shorter commitments may be higher (TrimRx's earlier pricing-guide content cited $199 sema and $349 tirz as flat-across-all-doses rates). Verify the actual checkout price at intake. TrimRx uses a licensed compounding pharmacy under FDA oversight. As with all compounded medications, these are not FDA-approved as finished products. TrimRx does not offer brand-name GLP-1s or insurance support.

Oak Longevity

Oak Longevity is an all-inclusive compounded GLP-1 platform with no membership fee, no lifetime commitment, and a credentialed clinical operation: NVP Medical Group, P.A. handles prescribing, with Michael Regan, MD (board-certified in Emergency Medicine and Obesity Medicine) as Chief Medical Officer. NVP also staffs physicians for Wisp and Ro, so the clinical infrastructure is shared with established peers. Verified pricing as of May 2026: compounded semaglutide injection at $183/mo on the 3-month plan (or $235/mo on the 1-month plan), compounded tirzepatide injection at $250/mo on the 3-month plan ($285/mo on the 1-month plan), and compounded oral semaglutide at $245 per 4-week supply. The headline rates apply at the starter dose only — Oak's checkout discloses that dose escalation adds approximately $50–$75 per step, so maintenance dose runs roughly $330–$430/mo for sema and $449–$574/mo for tirz. Oak also lists brand-name medications (Wegovy pill, Wegovy injection, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic), but the brand-name injectable prices ($1,200–$1,500/mo) are essentially retail and not competitive with Hims, Hers, Ro, or LillyDirect. Oak is available in 45 states; California is excluded for compounded GLP-1s. The 503B compounding pharmacy partner is not named publicly.

---

Eden

Eden offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a flat-dose pricing model, where the rate stays the same as you titrate to higher doses. Compounded semaglutide is $129 first month then $209/month ongoing on the 3-month plan ($149 first month / $229/month on the monthly plan), and compounded tirzepatide is $249 first month then $329/month ongoing. No separate membership fee. Eden also lists brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound at higher price points for patients who specifically want FDA-approved options. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished products.

---

Shed

Shed offers the widest format diversity of any provider reviewed. Compounded semaglutide injection runs $175/month on the 12-month plan ($199 on 6-month, $249 month-to-month). Compounded tirzepatide injection runs $245/month on the 12-month plan ($279 on 6-month, $349 month-to-month). A separate Microdose track holds the cheapest entry: $149/month for compounded semaglutide and $199/month for compounded tirzepatide. For patients who don't want injections, Shed offers compounded semaglutide as sublingual lozenges ($299/mo) or oral drops ($329/mo) and tirzepatide oral drops ($419/mo). Brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo are also available, all requiring an additional $125/month Shed Membership. Compounded products are not FDA-approved as finished products.

---

Enhance.MD

Enhance.MD has the lowest first-month entry point in the market: $49 for compounded semaglutide and $99 for compounded tirzepatide, both on a 12-month commitment. Ongoing prices flatten at $212/month for sema and $280/month for tirz, with the same rate at every dose level. Month-to-month plans run noticeably higher (sema $249/mo, tirz $329/mo). No separate membership fee. The Elite tier combines sema and tirz at $322/month ongoing for patients who switch between molecules. Enhance.MD also offers a Microdose Tirzepatide product at $169/month (1mg/week dose, $49 first month), which is the cheapest verified compounded tirzepatide option in our database. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished products.

---

PlushCare

PlushCare is the strongest choice for patients with insurance. It accepts Aetna, Humana, Cigna, and others, and board-certified primary care physicians handle prior authorization support. The brand-name formulary is the widest of any platform reviewed here: Wegovy, Zepbound, Saxenda, Rybelsus, Ozempic, and Mounjaro are all available. The membership is $19.99/month plus a $129 initial consultation fee (May 2026, per PlushCare website), but medication costs without insurance can reach $900–$1,400/month for brand-name GLP-1s. PlushCare does not offer compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide.

---

Found

Found takes a wider view than most GLP-1 providers. It offers a broad weight-loss medication catalog, runs a free insurance coverage check (Found contacts your insurer directly and reports back), and wraps it all in a full support program including licensed clinicians, health coaches, and a behavior change app. Verified medication pricing as of May 2026: compounded semaglutide $149/mo, compounded tirzepatide $249/mo, compounded liraglutide $149/mo, Foundayo (orforglipron) $149/mo starter, Wegovy pill $198/mo, Wegovy pen $248/mo, and Zepbound KwikPen $348/mo. All medication prices require a separate CORE subscription billed on top: $99/mo on the 12-month plan, $129/mo on 6-month, $139/mo on 3-month, or $149/mo on month-to-month. So total monthly cost for compounded semaglutide is $248-$298/mo, depending on the commitment tier you pick. Found also offers an insurance pathway via the PLUS plan ($39/mo with insurance) for patients with covered brand-name GLP-1s. As with all compounded options, those medications are not FDA-approved as finished products.

---

Noom Med

Noom Med is built on the premise that medication works better alongside behavioral change. The platform combines compounded GLP-1 medications with Noom's established behavioral coaching app, which addresses food psychology and habit formation. Three program tiers (May 2026, per noom.com): the Microdose GLP-1Rx track at $99/month first month, $199/month ongoing (compounded semaglutide capped at 0.6mg dose ceiling); the standard GLP-1Rx track at $129/month first month, $279/month ongoing (full-dose compounded sema titration); and the GLP-1Rx Plus Program at $149/month first month (currently discounted from $199), $299/month ongoing (compounded tirzepatide). All include the behavioral app, clinical care, and medication in one charge with no separate subscription. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished products.

---

LillyDirect

LillyDirect lets patients buy FDA-approved Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Foundayo (orforglipron) directly from Eli Lilly, bypassing third-party telehealth platforms entirely. As of May 2026, LillyDirect is the cheapest verified path for both Foundayo (the new oral GLP-1 pill, $149/mo at 0.8mg starter dose through the Foundayo Self Pay Journey Program) and Zepbound vials ($299/mo for 2.5mg, $399/mo for 5mg, $449/mo for 7.5mg–15mg within the 45-day refill window). The catch is fulfillment-only scope: no telehealth, no prescribing, no coaching, no care team. Patients need an existing prescription from any licensed provider. This is the right choice if your goal is brand-name tirzepatide or oral Foundayo at a predictable cash price with no intermediary.

---

NovoCare Pharmacy

NovoCare Pharmacy is Novo Nordisk's manufacturer-direct fulfillment program — the equivalent of LillyDirect for Wegovy and Ozempic. Patients with an existing prescription can buy at Novo's published self-pay rates without going through a telehealth platform's membership or visit fees. Pricing as of May 2026: Wegovy pill (1.5mg and 4mg) at $149/mo, Wegovy injectable pen at $199/mo for the first 2 months at starter doses ($349/mo from month 3 onward), and Ozempic at $349–$499/mo for off-label weight-loss use (currently with $199 intro on starting doses through June 2026; verify on novocare.com). The catch is that NovoCare is fulfillment-only — it does not provide telehealth visits, prescribing, or care team support. Patients need to obtain a prescription from any licensed provider first, and there's no coaching, dose-management help, or follow-up clinical care included. For users who already have a stable Rx and just want the cheapest brand-name path, NovoCare is the floor on Wegovy pill pricing in our entire database.

How we ranked these providers

The providers above were evaluated on four criteria:

Cost and value. We looked at the true all-in monthly cost, including membership fees that are billed separately from medication. A provider charging $99 for medication plus $79 for a mandatory membership is a $178/month program, and we present it that way.

Medication access. Does the provider offer both compounded and brand-name options? Is tirzepatide available, not just semaglutide? Are delivery formats (oral vs. injectable) clearly disclosed? Providers with broader formularies scored higher.

Support and care quality. This includes asynchronous messaging, synchronous visits, registered dietitian access, behavioral coaching, and care team responsiveness. Patients who want medication only and patients who want full programs have different needs, and we tried to match each provider to the right audience.

Insurance handling. Some platforms actively assist with prior authorization, contact insurers directly, and support insured patients through the approval process. Others are self-pay only. This distinction matters a great deal for patients who have coverage they want to use.

Pricing was verified against each provider's website (and post-intake flows where applicable) in May 2026 and may change. The rankings reflect our editorial judgment, and no provider paid for placement.

Which provider is right for you?

If cost is your top priority and you're paying out of pocket, Shed Microdose at $149/mo all-inclusive is the cheapest verified compounded semaglutide injection (genuinely no separate membership). Mochi Health is next at $178/mo total ($79 membership + $99 medication). TrimRx starts at $179/mo (commitment-tier pricing; verify at checkout). Eden holds a flat-dose rate at $209/mo ongoing on the 3-month plan. Enhance.MD is the cheapest first-month entry point at $49 with a 12-month commitment, ongoing $212/mo. All use compounded semaglutide, which is not FDA-approved as a finished product but contains the same active ingredient as brand-name options. For compounded tirzepatide, Enhance.MD's Microdose Tirzepatide at $169/mo is the cheapest verified option, followed by Shed Microdose at $199/mo and Eden at $329/mo. Henry Meds does not offer compounded tirzepatide as an injection, only as oral tablets at $349/mo.

If you have insurance and want to use it, PlushCare is the most insurance-capable platform reviewed here, with the widest brand-name formulary and active prior auth support. Ro and Found also provide insurance coordination and are worth comparing. Prior authorization for brand-name GLP-1s can take 2–4 weeks, so start the process early.

If you want brand-name medication without insurance involvement, Hims (Wegovy pill from $149/mo or pen from $199/mo, plus the $149/mo membership), Hers (same brand-name catalog plus Foundayo and Zepbound), and LillyDirect (Zepbound direct from Eli Lilly) are the clearest self-pay brand-name options. LillyDirect's fixed-price program is particularly predictable, with $299/mo for 2.5mg vials and $449/mo for 7.5mg–15mg vials within the refill window. Found and Shed also offer brand-name options at competitive starter rates if you want a single platform for both compounded and brand-name access.

If you want coaching or behavioral support alongside medication, Found and Noom Med both wrap clinical prescribing inside a structured program. Found offers the free insurance check as a differentiator. Noom Med is the better fit if you want behavioral science integrated into the program rather than just check-ins. WeightWatchers Clinic is worth considering if you value group coaching and the WW community structure alongside your prescription.

If injections are a dealbreaker, the cheapest brand-name oral path is the Wegovy pill at Shed at $149/mo medication + $125/mo Shed Membership = $274/mo total. Hims and Hers offer the same Wegovy pill at $149/mo medication + $149/mo membership = $298/mo total. Foundayo (orforglipron) at Found ($248/mo total), Shed ($274/mo), Hers, or Hims ($298/mo) is the cheapest FDA-approved oral GLP-1 alternative at the starter dose. For compounded options, Henry Meds sublingual semaglutide at $179/mo all-inclusive is the cheapest non-injection compounded path. Shed offers sublingual lozenges ($299/mo) and oral drops ($329/mo). Clinical evidence for non-injection compounded formulations is more limited than for injections.

The right answer depends on your specific situation. A licensed healthcare provider can help you weigh medication options, review your health history, and determine whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you.
