Best GLP-1 program for Zepbound or month-to-month

A separate scored shortlist for Zepbound and month-to-month programs. Each one names the all-in price behind every pick and links to the review.

On price alone, Strut Health is the cheapest cash route on the chart, from $149 a month. That price buys compounded semaglutide, a pharmacy-made version that is not FDA-approved and is not Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro.

These lists are not one ranking. The best GLP-1 program depends entirely on what you are optimizing for, so we built a separate shortlist for each situation and scored each one on the criteria that matter for that situation, not on a generic average.

If price is what you care about, the floor for the medication itself is $149 a month for compounded semaglutide, and the gap between the cheapest program and the most expensive one is wider than most people expect for the same drug class.

Every pick is scored, dated, and checked, and we take no payment for placement. Pick the list that matches your situation below, or find your program in four quick questions if you would rather be pointed straight to the one that fits.

Common questions

Which GLP-1 program is best?

There is no single best program. It depends on whether you are paying cash, using insurance, or prioritizing speed or no lock-in. We publish a separate scored shortlist for each situation rather than one generic ranking.

What is the cheapest GLP-1 program?

The cheapest cash route to the medication is compounded semaglutide at $149 a month, billed month-to-month with no lock-in. The comparison chart ranks every program we score by all-in maintenance price.

Which GLP-1 program is best if I have insurance?

The programs worth starting with are the ones that will file a prior authorization for you rather than defaulting you straight to cash. We publish a prior-authorization letter template for each major payer, written against that plan's own policy language.
