Foundayo is worth flagging separately because it's new. The FDA approved orforglipron on April 1, 2026 as the first oral GLP-1 receptor agonist for weight loss without food or water restrictions (FDA, April 2026). It's only been on the market about a month, and pricing is already competitive with compounded options.
Found
From $149/mo
Cheapest all-inclusive compounded sema, plus Wegovy pill at $198/mo and Foundayo at $149/mo starter.
Step back and the May 2026 market sorts into roughly five price bands:
| Category | Price range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide (injection) | $149–$299/mo | The cheapest broad category. Nearly every telehealth GLP-1 provider offers this. |
| Compounded tirzepatide (injection) | $199–$449/mo | Meaningfully more expensive than compounded sema. Tirzepatide active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is harder to source. |
| Compounded oral / sublingual semaglutide | $218–$369/mo | Niche but growing. Hers is the cheapest pill option; MEDVi tablets and Shed sublingual sit at the upper end. |
| Brand-name Wegovy / Zepbound (cash pay) | $198–$449/mo | Found's Wegovy pill bundle is the outlier; everything else starts $300+. |
| Foundayo (orforglipron, FDA-approved oral) | $149–$299/mo | Brand-new. Tiered by dose. Competitive at low doses, comparable to brand at maintenance. |
Compounded liraglutide, a daily-injection GLP-1 that predates semaglutide, is also available at Found from $149/month as a budget alternative for patients who can't tolerate semaglutide.
A note on terminology: "compounded" GLP-1 medications are made by licensed compounding pharmacies and are not FDA-approved as finished products. They contain the same active ingredient as the brand drug, but the finished formulation has not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality. The FDA recently took regulatory action narrowing 503B outsourcing pathways for these drugs (FDA, 2025), and most reputable telehealth providers source from 503A pharmacies that compound on a per-prescription basis. We cover the regulatory background in our compounded vs brand-name semaglutide guide.
Most "cheapest GLP-1" searches actually break into more specific questions. Here's where the deals live in each one.
If injections are a dealbreaker, Hers wins at $218/month total ($69 medication + $149 membership) for compounded oral semaglutide pills, with a 10-month commitment. Shed is the closest alternative at $299/month for sublingual lozenges or $329/month for oral drops. None of these are FDA-approved as finished products. Read the injectable vs oral GLP-1 comparison before committing. Clinical evidence for compounded oral and sublingual formulations is more limited than for injections.
If you hate the split-billing model where you pay membership plus medication, eight providers in our database bundle everything into a single monthly charge: Henry Meds, TrimRx, Found, Shed, Eden, Enhance.MD, MEDVi, and Noom Med. One number, no surprises.
Shed
From $149/mo (Microdose) or $175/mo (full-dose, 12-month plan)
All-inclusive compounded semaglutide injection. No separate membership fee. Sublingual and brand-name options also available.
If your insurance covers GLP-1s, or you want the lowest membership fee while you fight for prior authorization, the picture flips. Mochi Health has the lowest standalone membership at $79/month, with copay billed on top through your pharmacy. PlushCare charges $19.99/month for membership when you're using in-network insurance, the lowest of any provider we tracked. Both run insurance-first models and will help with prior authorization paperwork.
For more on the prior auth process, see our GLP-1 insurance coverage guide and prior authorization walkthrough.
Mochi Health
From $79/mo membership
Insurance-first. Lowest standalone membership fee for patients with GLP-1 coverage.
Promo pricing has gotten aggressive in May 2026. Five providers are running first-month discounts steep enough to mention.
The MEDVi pattern is the one to watch. A $179 first month sounds great until you see the $120 increase on month two. Enhance.MD is the cleaner deal: low entry and competitive ongoing pricing. Always check what month two looks like before you sign up.
Pros
Cons
A few things stand out in this month's data versus what we saw earlier in the year:
Enhance.MD
$49 first month, then $212/mo (compounded sema, 12-month plan)
Lowest entry point in the market for compounded sema. Same price at every dose; tirzepatide also $99 first month / $280 ongoing.
Static articles go stale. Provider pricing changes mid-month, intro deals appear and disappear, and new SKUs (like Foundayo) hit the market with no warning. We built the RxPickr GLP-1 pricing tool to be the live, filterable, always-current source of truth. You can filter by medication type, dose, monthly cost, all-inclusive vs split-billing, and insurance support. Every entry shows the date it was last verified.
All prices in this article were verified by direct provider sign-up on May 4, 2026. We'll publish a fresh snapshot at the start of each month, but if the gap between this article's date and today is more than a few weeks, default to the pricing tool. We update it weekly.
If you want the cheapest GLP-1 in May 2026 and you're starting from scratch, here's the breakdown by category. Compounded semaglutide injection at $149/month all-inclusive from Found or Shed is the floor for ongoing pricing. Enhance.MD's $49 first month is the lowest entry point if you want to test the waters cheaply, and the $212/month ongoing rate keeps it competitive after the intro period. For tirzepatide, Shed Microdose at $199/month is the cheapest. For brand-name medication, Found's Wegovy pill at $198/month is the surprise winner; for Zepbound, it's LillyDirect at $299/month for the starter dose. For Foundayo, Found at $149/month for the starter dose.
The right answer for your situation depends on whether you have insurance, your dose, your tolerance for compounded vs brand-name medication, and how you feel about long-term commitments. Use the pricing tool to filter to your specifics, or take the quiz for a personalized provider recommendation.
