About GLP Chart

Independent comparison site for US weight loss telehealth programs. We rank programs against the same five criteria, check prices every Monday, and publish what we find. Nobody pays to be listed or to rank, and no program sees its review before it goes live.

Why this site exists

In 2024 GLP-1 prescribing through US telehealth went from a niche category to one of the fastest-growing consumer-healthcare markets in the country. Twenty-plus programs launched, each with its own pricing structure and lock-in terms, and its own idea of what “included” actually covers. Patients shopping cash-pay GLP-1 are forced to compare across formats that are deliberately incomparable. The comparison sites that existed at the time were either thinly disguised affiliate funnels that ranked whoever paid the highest commission, or were operated by the programs themselves under different brand names.

GLP Chart is the scoreboard. Every program in the chart is scored the same way against the same five criteria. We built it to be the independent GLP-1 comparison site the category was missing. We accept affiliate revenue. The rank order is determined before we touch a partnership conversation. Programs do not see their score before we publish it. We do not change scores in response to partnership outreach.

Who runs this

John Samaras, founder and editor of GLP Chart
John Samaras
Founder and editor

John started GLP Chart after he overpaid for a GLP-1 and couldn’t get a straight answer on what any of these programs actually cost. He has worked on it full time since 2026 from Austin, Texas, and now runs the chart full time, keeping every program’s published price current and scoring each one on the same five public criteria. He owns no piece of any program on the chart. None of them pay to be listed or to rank. The site earns affiliate commission on some links. A score is always set before any affiliate link is added.

How we verify prices

Every price on the chart is checked against the program's published pricing pages every Monday. We read the program's own pricing page for the maintenance-dose figure, not just the headline starter rate. When a program's site blocks automated access, we confirm the published number through a web search of the program's own materials. We do not create accounts, purchase medication or make any payment to gather these numbers. We cite the published source for every price so you can check it yourself.

We contact programs quarterly only to ask whether their published pricing is still current, never to share scores or rankings, and programs cannot influence their evaluation. Readers and programs can submit a correction at any time.

See the quarterly Price Index for the per-program breakdown and the unit-cost (per milligram) analysis.

How we make money

We accept affiliate commissions on outbound clicks to partner programs. The commission does not affect scoring, rank order or editorial content. Programs are not told their score before publication. We don’t sell placement or sponsored content, and a program can’t pay to be in the chart.

If you are a reader: every “Visit” link in the chart that earns us a commission is labeled with rel="sponsored"for FTC compliance and Google's link policy. You can also see the full affiliate disclosure.
