Recorded range by program category
Each figure is the price at that program’s shortest published term, which is not always a plain monthly price. Combined-category prices cover the whole program, not either ingredient separately. Read the term on the entry before comparing two numbers.
| Category | Priced | Lowest | Median | Highest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| brand semaglutide | 14 of 114 | $149 | $802 | $1,999 |
| brand tirzepatide | 15 of 101 | $299 | $445 | $1,999 |
| compounded semaglutide | 182 of 372 | $45 | $169 | $460 |
| compounded tirzepatide | 176 of 374 | $69 | $239 | $660 |
| oral semaglutide | 17 of 58 | $133 | $229 | $645 |
| unspecified GLP-1 | 39 of 73 | $70 | $170 | $500 |
The “priced” column is the point most price comparisons hide: not every program publishes a price a reader can check. Where a company publishes none we can verify, the entry is recorded without one rather than filled with an estimate.
How this was counted
A price is included only where the company’s own sentence containing that figure is recorded with the page it appeared on and the date. 99 of these programs also disclose a consultation charge, which these ranges do not include; see whether the advertised price is what you pay.
Every figure above is computed from the register when this page is built, so it cannot drift from the entries it describes. All readings as of October 2026. How entries are recorded.
