The short version
Cheapest is a load-bearing word. Cheapest at the starter dose, at the maintenance dose, or at the all-in monthly that holds when you titrate up are three different optimization problems. The programs below are the four cheapest in the chart at the all-in monthly cost a real cash-pay patient ends up with at maintenance dose. Headline membership prices that exclude medication are excluded from this ranking; we score on the bill that lands at the end of the month.
What we considered
- All-in monthly cost at the typical maintenance dose
- Whether the price holds when you titrate up to the maintenance dose
- No mandatory upfront payment or annual lock-in (defeats the cheap)
- Cash-pay path is fully transparent at sign-up; no hidden upgrades
