The short answer
The cheapest published maintenance price on the chart is $178 a month (Mochi Health), month-to-month and flat at every dose, for compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide. Strut Health advertises $99 and Henry Meds was long quoted at $197, but neither publishes a maintenance price today. With insurance covering the medication, PlushCare runs $45 a month. Prices checked every Monday.
What to know first
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 four picks below are the cheapest at the all-in monthly cost a real cash-pay patient ends up with at maintenance dose, after dropping programs whose cheap headline depends on a prepay, a minimum commitment, or a price that climbs 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

What is the cheapest GLP-1 program in 2026?
The lowest published maintenance price on the chart is $178 a month at Mochi Health, month-to-month and flat at every dose, for compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide. Hone Health lists $185, but that price is liraglutide, an older daily GLP-1. Ivim Health runs about $200 on its 4-month-supply basis. If your insurance covers the medication, PlushCare's $45 a month copay-plus-membership path is the lowest monthly outlay. Prices checked every Monday against each program's published pricing.
Which cheap GLP-1 programs have no lock-in?
Two programs under $200 a month at published maintenance pricing are month-to-month: Mochi Health ($178, flat at every dose) and Hone Health ($185, though that price is liraglutide; its tirzepatide runs about $524 all-in). Found is cheaper at $169 but requires a 12-month commitment. Just above the line sit Ivim Health (about $200, 4-month supply basis) and Sesame ($229 month-to-month).
Is the $99 a month GLP-1 price real, or a teaser?
The $99 you may see advertised is Strut Health's entry-dose price for an oral semaglutide lozenge. It does not hold: Strut does not publish maintenance-dose pricing, and its own past pricing page listed lozenges from $199 a month. The lowest published maintenance price is $178 a month, month-to-month (Mochi Health). The chart's prices are maintenance-dose all-in bills; where a program hides its maintenance price, we say so on its row.
