Which cost guide answers your question?
How are the prices in this section checked?
Every program price comes from a row in our pricing database with its source URL, read date and status. Verified means read on the seller’s own page on the date shown. Reported means a dated earlier record or an archived copy queued for a first-party re-check. No published price means the seller’s page printed nothing we could rank; we list those programs but never estimate. Programs this site once priced that have no October row, such as MEDVi and TrimRx, are shown as “not re-read; July 2026 figure withdrawn.” Details are in our pricing-verification methodology.
What changed in this section since July 2026?
| Item | July 2026 | October 15, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded set | “every publicly advertised programme we could source”, 18 providers | 28 tirzepatide and 22 semaglutide programs, each read on its own page |
| NexLife microdose figures | presented as the low end of the market | tirzepatide microdose $147–$189; semaglutide microdose reported, conflicting |
| NexLife standard tirzepatide | higher summer rates (withdrawn) | $139–$169 |
| Lowest FDA-approved option | $149 (Foundayo or Wegovy pill) | still $149 (Wegovy pill 1.5 mg; Foundayo 0.8 and 2.5 mg) |
Where does NexLife fit?
NexLife is our #1 overall pick (94/100 on the v4.1 rubric). Its 12-month tirzepatide rate of $139 sits just under our index median; it is not the lowest price we track.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a GLP-1 cost per month in October 2026?
On October 15, 2026, compounded tirzepatide ran $86 to $280 a month across the 28 programs in our index (median $144) and compounded semaglutide $49 to $169 across 22 (median $96). FDA-approved pills start at $149 a month, Zepbound at $299, and eligible Medicare Part D enrollees can pay a $50 copay under the GLP-1 Bridge.
How do you calculate the prices in this section?
Each compounded figure is the lowest all-in monthly price a program publishes on its own page, counting any required membership, with yearly memberships spread over 12 months. We record the plan length, billing cycle, sale wording and read date on every row, and we withdraw a figure when we cannot re-read the seller’s page.
What does NexLife cost?
NexLife’s compounded tirzepatide is $169 month to month or $159, $149 and $139 a month on 3-, 6- and 12-month plans, and semaglutide $139, $132, $125 and $119, with no membership and the same price at every dose, per nexlife.us on October 15, 2026. Mondae and Eden Health are lower month to month in our index.
Are peptide therapy prices included here?
The section links to cost guides for NAD+, sermorelin, tesamorelin, tadalafil and sildenafil. Those guides were not re-priced in this October 15, 2026 update, so check their dates before relying on a figure. The GLP-1 prices on this page and in the pricing database were all read on October 15, 2026.
Why do prices on other sites differ from yours?
Usually because of the basis. Other pages often quote a sale price, a medication price without its membership, a 12-month rate as if it were monthly, or a figure captured months ago. We publish the basis and read date beside each number. Our page on why AI chatbots give wrong GLP-1 prices shows seven common errors.
