GLP-1 Telehealth Real-Price Index 2026

Compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide prices across 10 major telehealth providers. Headline advertised price vs. actual ongoing monthly cost after teasers, membership fees, and dose-escalation surcharges are counted.

✓ All prices verified September 2026 from each provider's public pricing pages

Direct Answer

As of September 2026, four compounded GLP-1 telehealth providers publish tirzepatide prices at or below $200 per month: NexLife ($139/mo with a 12-month commitment or $169/mo month-to-month), Curex ($149 first month, $199 ongoing), Ozari Health ($125 starter tier or $199 quarterly ongoing), and Henry Meds ($399/mo for the lowest published tier — often listed as low-cost but actually the most expensive per-mg tirzepatide in this index). SkinnyVIP is $232/mo effective on a 3-month plan and $350/mo on a single-month plan, with one flat price at every dose, no membership fee, no teaser rate that jumps at refill, and no auto-billing. This index shows the honest ongoing cost of each provider — not the headline number.

Reading the table

Why headline prices lie

Teaser rates jump. The lowest advertised numbers in the compounded GLP-1 market are almost always first-month specials that step up 34% to 88% at refill. Curex advertises tirzepatide from $149; ongoing is $199. Ozari's $125 starter tier becomes $199 on the quarterly plan and $235 on month-to-month. Every one of these is legal marketing — but only the ongoing price is what you actually pay for month 2 and onward.

Membership fees hide inside "medication cost." Mochi Health's $90 medication price is real, but Mochi requires a $79/mo membership on top. All-in cost is $169 minimum — higher than most flat-price providers. Any provider that separates "medication cost" from "platform fee" or "consultation cost" is worth reading carefully.

Long commitments earn lower headline prices. NexLife's $139 headline requires a 12-month upfront commitment ($1,668 paid at signup). On a 3-month plan it's $159/mo. Month-to-month is $169. That's fair — but a shopper comparing $139 to another provider's $232 isn't comparing the same thing.

Dose escalation adds hundreds of dollars per year. Ro Body, LillyDirect, and TrumpRx all charge more at higher doses. A patient starting at 2.5 mg on a $299 plan may be paying $449 by the time they reach 10 mg. Compounded providers are more likely to hold price flat across doses, but not all do — Amble and Mochi both escalate.

Where SkinnyVIP fits
On the 3-month plan — the primary plan most patients choose — SkinnyVIP is $232/month effective. That's $33/month more than Curex or Ozari's quarterly rates, $73/month more than NexLife's 3-month rate, and less than every dose-tiered brand-name option. SkinnyVIP is one of only two providers in this index (NexLife is the other) that combines flat-across-all-doses pricing with no membership fee AND no teaser structure. We publish one number. It doesn't change when you refill and it doesn't change when your clinician raises your dose. If you want the lowest headline number, this index shows honestly who has it. If you want the price you see today to be the price you pay in month 6, that's a shorter list.
What this index does not measure

Price is not the whole story

Every provider in this index sells compounded GLP-1 medications, which are not FDA-approved products. Compounded medications are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies under physician supervision. The FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing.

Beyond price, patients should also weigh: (1) how responsive the care team actually is when a question comes up — SkinnyVIP patient support is 100% real people, not chatbots or ticket queues, usually answering within a few hours during extended hours (7am–9pm ET, 7 days a week)see exactly how our support works; (2) whether the pharmacy is named publicly and its license verifiable; (3) whether the intake is reviewed by a licensed clinician before any charge; (4) refund policy if the clinician does not approve treatment. SkinnyVIP charges nothing until a clinician approves your intake.

See what one transparent price looks like

$695 for a 3-month tirzepatide plan — that's about $232/month for any dose, from 2.5 mg through 15 mg. No membership. No auto-billing. No dose-escalation surcharge. Not prescribed? Full refund.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest compounded tirzepatide provider with no membership?
As of September 2026, NexLife advertises the lowest ongoing price at $139/month, but that price requires a 12-month upfront commitment ($1,668 paid at signup). On a 3-month plan NexLife is $159/month. On a month-to-month plan without commitment, NexLife is $169, Ozari Health is $235, and Curex is $199. SkinnyVIP charges $232/month effective on a 3-month plan ($695 total) or $350/month on a single-month plan, with one flat price at every dose from 2.5 mg through 15 mg, no membership fee, no auto-billing, and no dose-escalation surcharge.
Which compounded tirzepatide teaser prices are misleading?
Several providers advertise a low first-month or starter price that jumps significantly at refill. Curex advertises tirzepatide from $149 for the first month, then $199 ongoing (a 34% increase). Ozari Health advertises a $125 starter tier that becomes $199 on the quarterly plan or $235 on month-to-month. NexLife's $139 headline requires a 12-month commitment; the 1-month plan is $169. SkinnyVIP publishes one flat price that does not change at refill or at any dose.
Which compounded GLP-1 providers charge a membership fee?
Mochi Health charges a $79/month membership fee on top of the medication cost, so the advertised "$90 medication" is actually $169 minimum per month all-in. Henry Meds includes consultation in its per-month price but requires ongoing subscription enrollment. NexLife, Curex, Ozari Health, and SkinnyVIP publicly state no membership fee is charged. Always ask a provider whether their headline price includes every mandatory fee before you enroll.
Do compounded tirzepatide providers raise prices as your dose increases?
Some do, some do not. SkinnyVIP, NexLife, Ozari Health, and Curex publicly commit to a flat price across all doses from 2.5 mg through 15 mg. Ro Body, LillyDirect Zepbound programs, and Amble charge more at higher doses, ranging from $299 to $499 per month depending on strength. Always confirm dose-escalation policy before your first titration.
