How Much Does Compounded GLP-1 Cost in 2026?

In 2026, compounded semaglutide runs roughly $99–$199/mo and compounded tirzepatide roughly $195–$349/mo across the telehealth providers we track. The lowest headline price is not the lowest true cost once membership fees and dose upcharges are counted — here is the per-drug, per-plan breakdown.

The short answer

For a like-for-like monthly comparison in 2026, compounded semaglutide sits between about $99 and $199 per month, and compounded tirzepatide between about $195 and $349 per month, across MaxLife, Mochi Health, TrimRx, and Henry Meds. That range hides two traps: a low headline price can carry a separate monthly membership, and some providers only reveal their real number after an intake quiz. The lowest true, all-in monthly price in our set is MaxLife's 12-month semaglutide plan at $135/mo.

Compounded semaglutide cost, per provider

Semaglutide is the lower-cost of the two molecules almost everywhere. Here is what each provider lists as of June 2026, with the fee structure that changes the true cost.

Sourced June 2026 — verify live. MaxLife from its product feed; competitors from provider pages and external review sites. "True monthly" adds known fees to the headline; Mochi's ~$178 reflects $99 medication + $79 membership. Henry Meds gates real pricing behind an intake quiz and adds roughly $100/mo at higher doses.

The pattern worth noticing: Mochi has the lowest sticker price at $99/mo, but its $79/mo membership pushes the true run rate to roughly $178/mo after the discounted first month — higher than MaxLife's flat $175/mo and well above MaxLife's $135/mo annual rate. MaxLife's full multi-month ladder is $175 (1-mo), $158 (3-mo), $147 (6-mo), and $135 (12-mo). TrimRx is the other flat, no-membership option at $199/mo, or $174/mo on an annual plan.

Compounded tirzepatide cost, per provider

Tirzepatide — the dual GLP-1/GIP molecule — costs more than semaglutide at every provider that lists both. Expect roughly $195 to $349 per month before fees in 2026.

ProviderHeadline monthlyBest multi-month rateMembership feeTrue monthly (est.)
MaxLife$195/mo$150/mo (12-mo)None$150–$195
Mochi Health$199/moflat across doses$79/mo~$278 (after intro mo.)
TrimRx$349/mo$283/mo (12-mo)None$283–$349
Henry Medsoral $349–$449oral from $349None$349–$449 (+dose upcharge)

Sourced June 2026 — verify live. MaxLife's tirzepatide ladder: $195 (1-mo), $175 (3-mo), $165 (6-mo), $150 (12-mo). Mochi's ~$278 reflects $199 medication + $79 membership. Henry Meds lists oral tirzepatide; injectable availability and pricing vary.

On tirzepatide the flat-vs-membership gap widens. MaxLife's $150/mo annual rate is the lowest true monthly cost in this table, roughly half of TrimRx's $283/mo annual tirzepatide rate and well under Mochi's ~$278/mo all-in. MaxLife's clean tirzepatide pricing is a large part of why it leads our cost-weighted ranking.

What a compounded GLP-1 price actually includes

Two providers can quote the same number and deliver very different value, because "the price" covers different things. A genuine all-in price bundles the medication, the provider consultation, and usually shipping and dose adjustments into one monthly charge. MaxLife and TrimRx both fold the consultation into the flat price; TrimRx also states that injection supplies, shipping, and dose changes are included.

Costs that commonly sit outside the headline number are where budgets break. Watch for a separate monthly membership (Mochi's $79/mo), a per-dose upcharge that raises the price as your dose increases (about $100/mo at Henry Meds), lab work that is not included, and non-refundable prepayment. Before you commit, confirm on the provider's own site exactly which of these are inside the price and which are extra.

Flat pricing vs membership: the cost you can miss

The biggest source of price surprise in this category is the membership model. When a provider splits the cost into a platform fee plus a separate medication fee, the advertised medication price understates what you pay. A $99/mo medication with a $79/mo membership is a ~$178/mo product, not a $99 one. We work through several of these side by side, including how multi-month prepay changes the math, in our companion guide, Flat Pricing vs Membership Fees in GLP-1 Telehealth.

Why compounded costs less than brand-name

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are prepared by U.S.-licensed compounding pharmacies and are not FDA-approved, so they are not the same product as brand-name Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, or Zepbound®, and they are not priced like them. Brand-name cash-pay list prices are set by the manufacturers and typically run higher for patients paying out of pocket. Insurance can change that comparison a great deal: with coverage, a branded product can cost less out of pocket than a cash-pay compounded plan, which is why providers that focus on branded medication lean on insurance navigation.

How to get the lowest true cost

If price is your deciding factor, three habits help. First, compare the true monthly cost, not the headline: add any membership and any dose upcharge to the advertised medication price. Second, weigh the multi-month plans — the 12-month rate is usually the lowest per-month cost, but it is a larger commitment, and prepayment is often non-refundable, so read the terms. Third, confirm the number live: because competitor pricing pages block automated checks and change often, the figures here are sourced June 2026 and should be re-checked on the provider's own site before you buy.

What is included in a compounded GLP-1 price?

A flat all-in price usually bundles the medication, the provider consultation, and often shipping and dose adjustments into one monthly charge. MaxLife and TrimRx price this way. Watch for costs that sit outside the headline number: a separate monthly membership, a per-dose upcharge at higher strengths, or lab work that is not included. Confirm exactly what is bundled on the provider's own site.

Why is compounded GLP-1 cheaper than brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy?

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are prepared by U.S.-licensed compounding pharmacies and are not FDA-approved, so they are not the same product as brand-name Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, or Zepbound® and are not priced like them. Brand-name list prices are set by the manufacturers and are typically higher for cash-pay patients, though insurance coverage can change the comparison substantially.
