GLP-1 Telehealth Real-Price Index: October 2026 Update
What patients actually pay each month across 14 GLP-1 telehealth providers — after teaser rates, membership fees, dose surcharges, and prepay terms.
Updated October 24, 2026 · Each row shows the month its provider page was last read · Corrections: hello@skinnyvip.comEvery advertised price in this index — ours included — carries a condition. Across the 14 programs, that condition is a first-month promo, a required membership, a dose-based increase, or a multi-month prepay. SkinnyVIP’s only condition is plan length: $695 for three months or $350 for one month, any dose — no membership, no auto-billing, no promo, no increase when your dose goes up. Nothing renews automatically; your card is charged only when you place an order. Verified September–October 2026.
- Ozari Health launched "Ozari One" on October 6: compounded tirzepatide at $125 a month, billed $375 every three months and renewing automatically, one formulation (tirzepatide with B12). Its month-to-month plan, "Ozari Select," is $235. Row updated October 13.
- Brand-name Zepbound rows (LillyDirect, Ro) re-verified in October; LillyDirect's vial pricing remains $299–$699 by dose.
- FDA Import Alert 66-80 (October 9) now allows detention of imported GLP-1 active ingredients unless the manufacturer is on the FDA's approved list. Price is no longer the only question to ask a compounding program; the name of the pharmacy and the source of its ingredient are fair questions too.
- Amble now lists compounded GLP-1 + GIP (tirzepatide) at $255 a month on its 3-month plan, $235 a month on a 6-month plan and $329 for a single month, with a $50 first-month promotion (verified October 19, 2026, same figures two days running; previously recorded $289 a month).
- SkinnyVIP row re-verified October 17: unchanged at $695 per 3-month plan ($232/mo) or $350 for one month, any dose.

SkinnyVIP sells clinician-prescribed compounded tirzepatide at $695 for a 3-month plan (about $232 a month) or $350 for a single month, the same price at every dose from 2.5 mg to 15 mg. There is no subscription, no membership fee, no auto-renewal and no recurring billing: each plan is a one-time purchase, and the patient places the next order when they choose. Payments are refundable until the pharmacy dispenses, and the medication cost is refunded in full if a licensed clinician does not prescribe. A real person answers within one hour, 7 days a week, 9am to 9pm ET. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved products.
We re-read the public pricing page of each of the 14 programs and record the result here. A confirmed row keeps its figures; a change is corrected after a human check; a page we cannot read is listed rather than assumed.

Why patients choose SkinnyVIP at $232 a month
SkinnyVIP isn't the lowest monthly number in this index. Here's what the number doesn't show.
Three months, not twelve.
Some of the lowest advertised prices above require a 6- or 12-month plan (NexLife's $139 rate, Ondra's $142 rate, Peak Wellness' $232 rate) or a pay-in-full discount (Henry Meds' $297 rate). SkinnyVIP's longest plan is three months ($695). A single month is $350. That's the most you're ever asked to commit.
Refunded in full if you're not prescribed.
A licensed clinician reviews every intake. If you're not a candidate, you get your money back. No consultation fees kept. No restocking charge. Full refund.
The price never moves.
$695 covers any dose from 2.5 mg to 15 mg. No teaser rate that jumps in month two. No increase when your dose goes up. No membership fee. No auto-billing. There's nothing to cancel — there's no membership.

Why headline prices lie
Every column in the table above measures a specific hidden-cost pattern used by GLP-1 telehealth providers. The Headline Advertised price is what a provider says in ads and on landing pages. The 3-month Effective and 1-month (no commit) columns show what a patient actually pays each month once teaser rates expire, prepay commitments unlock, or dose escalates.
Teaser structure flags providers whose lowest price applies only to a first month, a starter tier, or a specific prepay length. Membership Fee flags providers who split their price into a medication charge plus a separate mandatory monthly fee. Dose Escalation flags providers whose price rises as the clinician titrates the patient up.
These four patterns account for almost every discrepancy between what patients see in advertising and what appears on their credit-card statement in month two.
The same price at every dose — no membership, no promo, no auto-billing
$695 for a 3-month supply. $350 for a single month. Same price at 2.5 mg or 15 mg. Full refund if you're not a candidate. No card ever charged automatically.
