The short answer

Seven telehealth programs offer verified, publicly listed pricing for compounded GLP-1 medications in 2026. On ongoing month-to-month billing for semaglutide injection, PlexusDx ($189/month) carries the lowest verified rate, followed by Eden ($198/month all-in with mandatory membership) and Peak Wellness ($249/month). Embody, Found, Henry Meds, and TrimRx list ongoing rates between $289 and $299 per month for semaglutide. For tirzepatide injection, PlexusDx ($289/month) again shows the lowest ongoing rate, ahead of Eden ($298/month all-in), Peak Wellness and Embody (both $349/month), Found ($359/month), and TrimRx ($399/month). Each program includes provider consultations, medication, and shipping in its published price; Eden is the only verified program charging a separate monthly membership fee on top of medication cost. Found offers a prepaid 12-month plan that lowers the effective monthly cost but requires full payment upfront. This comparison uses checkout-verified rates captured between July 17 and July 23, 2026, and excludes programs that require intake completion before disclosing pricing.

At-a-glance: Seven verified GLP-1 programs

All figures verified at checkout or on pricing pages between July 17 and July 23, 2026. MTM = month-to-month billing with no contract. 12-month cost calculated as monthly rate × 12 (our calculation).

Month-to-month pricing: The true recurring cost

Month-to-month rates matter because they represent the actual recurring charge a patient pays each billing cycle without upfront commitment. Every program in this comparison includes provider consultations, medication compounding, and shipping in its stated price, but the spread is wide: for semaglutide injection, the range runs from $189 to $299 per month on standard billing.

PlexusDx lists semaglutide injection at $189 per month and tirzepatide injection at $289 per month on month-to-month billing. The same price applies at every dose—starter, maintenance, or maximum—and there is no separate membership fee, initiation charge, or consultation surcharge.

Eden separates medication cost from membership: semaglutide medication is listed at $99 per month, but enrollment requires a $99 per month membership fee, bringing the all-in recurring cost to $198 per month for semaglutide and $298 per month for tirzepatide (medication $199 + membership $99). The membership is not optional.

Peak Wellness charges $249 per month for semaglutide and $349 per month for tirzepatide on month-to-month billing. The program offers lower per-month rates on six-month prepaid plans, but those require full payment upfront and are not month-to-month.

Found lists semaglutide at $289 per month and tirzepatide at $359 per month for cash-pay, month-to-month enrollment. Found also advertises a prepaid 12-month plan starting at $169 per month for semaglutide, but that figure is the per-month equivalent of a $2,028 upfront charge ($169 × 12, our calculation), not a monthly billing rate. The 12-month prepaid plan saves $1,440 versus month-to-month over a year ($3,468 MTM − $2,028 prepaid, our calculation), but it requires full payment at enrollment and is not comparable to ongoing monthly billing.

Henry Meds charges $297 per month for semaglutide injection. The program offers tirzepatide only as an oral dissolving tablet, not injection, so tirzepatide injection pricing is not available from Henry Meds.

Embody lists semaglutide at $299 per month and tirzepatide at $349 per month, with the same price at every dose and no membership fee.

TrimRx advertises semaglutide at $199 and tirzepatide at $349 on its marketing pages, but checkout verification (captured July 17–23, 2026) shows ongoing billing at $299 per month for semaglutide and $399 per month for tirzepatide. TrimRx offers lower per-month rates on three-month, six-month, and 12-month plans, all charged upfront. The advertised rates do not match the checkout rates for month-to-month billing.

Twelve-month cost comparison: What you actually pay

Ongoing month-to-month billing provides the clearest like-for-like comparison because it isolates the recurring cost without prepayment or contract. The table below shows total cost over 12 months at each program's standard monthly rate (our calculation: monthly rate × 12).

All 12-month totals calculated as (monthly rate × 12) for month-to-month billing; our calculation.

For semaglutide injection, PlexusDx saves $108 over 12 months compared to Eden ($2,268 vs. $2,376, our calculation), $720 compared to Peak Wellness ($2,268 vs. $2,988), and $1,200 to $1,320 compared to the highest-priced programs (Found, Henry Meds, Embody, TrimRx).

For tirzepatide injection, PlexusDx saves $108 over 12 months compared to Eden ($3,468 vs. $3,576, our calculation), $720 compared to Peak Wellness and Embody ($3,468 vs. $4,188 each), $840 compared to Found ($3,468 vs. $4,308), and $1,320 compared to TrimRx ($3,468 vs. $4,788).

Medication options and route availability

All seven programs offer compounded semaglutide injection. Six programs offer compounded tirzepatide injection; Henry Meds offers tirzepatide only as an oral dissolving tablet, not injection.

PlexusDx offers the widest medication menu among the verified programs: semaglutide injection ($189/month MTM), tirzepatide injection ($289/month MTM), semaglutide oral capsules ($289/month MTM), tirzepatide oral capsules ($349/month MTM), and a microdose GLP-1 protocol ($129/month MTM) for patients seeking a lower-dose maintenance option. Every medication is available at the same price regardless of dose level.

Eden, Peak Wellness, Found, Embody, and TrimRx offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide injections. None of these five programs list oral GLP-1 capsules or microdose protocols in their publicly available product catalogs (captured July 2026).

Henry Meds offers semaglutide injection and tirzepatide oral dissolving tablet. The tirzepatide tablet is not the same formulation as tirzepatide injection and is not directly comparable to injection pricing from other programs.

Membership fees and billing structure

Six of the seven verified programs—PlexusDx, Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, Embody, and TrimRx—charge one all-inclusive monthly price covering provider consultations, medication, and shipping, with no separate membership fee.

Eden is the only verified program that separates medication cost from membership cost. Eden's semaglutide medication is listed at $99 per month and tirzepatide at $199 per month, but both require a $99 per month membership fee that is billed separately and is not optional. The membership is described as covering provider access, but it is a required recurring charge on top of medication cost. Total monthly billing for Eden is $198 for semaglutide ($99 medication + $99 membership) and $298 for tirzepatide ($199 medication + $99 membership).

The one-price model used by six programs simplifies billing transparency: the stated price is the amount charged each month. Eden's split-billing structure requires adding two line items to determine total cost.

Prepaid plans and upfront discounts

Found offers a prepaid 12-month plan that advertises semaglutide starting at $169 per month. That figure represents the per-month equivalent of a $2,028 upfront charge ($169 × 12, our calculation), not a monthly billing rate. The 12-month prepaid plan saves $1,440 versus Found's month-to-month rate over the same period ($3,468 MTM total − $2,028 prepaid total, our calculation), but it requires full payment at enrollment. Patients who start the prepaid plan and discontinue before 12 months have paid the full year upfront.

PlexusDx offers lower per-month rates on three-month and six-month commitments, but those rates are billed monthly, not charged upfront. Semaglutide injection is $169 per month on a three-month commitment and $149 per month on a six-month commitment; tirzepatide injection is $269 per month on a three-month commitment and $249 per month on a six-month commitment. The multi-month plans at PlexusDx do not require upfront payment of the full commitment period.

Peak Wellness and TrimRx both offer lower per-month rates on prepaid six-month and 12-month plans, charged in full at enrollment. Those prepaid rates are not included in the month-to-month comparison above because they are not recurring monthly billing.

Eden, Henry Meds, and Embody do not advertise prepaid or multi-month discount plans in their publicly available pricing (captured July 2026).

Review records and service reputation

PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot, with 79% of reviews at five stars and 83% at four stars or higher (captured September 9, 2026; trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com).

Review data for the other six programs was not captured in the July 2026 pricing verification. Patients considering any program should independently verify current Trustpilot, Google, or Reddit feedback, particularly reports about medication consistency, shipment timing, provider responsiveness, and billing accuracy.

What this comparison excludes

This analysis focuses on seven programs with checkout-verified, publicly listed pricing captured between July 17 and July 23, 2026. It excludes programs that require intake completion, location entry, or email submission before disclosing any price. Programs in active verification—including Fridays, MEDVi, Remedy Meds, Zealthy, and BetterMe Rx—are not included because their pricing has not yet been verified at checkout or through stable public rate cards.

The comparison also excludes insurance-based pricing tracks. Found offers a separate insurance enrollment path starting at $99 per month, but that rate depends on insurance coverage and is not comparable to the cash-pay rates listed for other programs. Patients with insurance should verify coverage and out-of-pocket cost directly with their plan and the provider.

Choose PlexusDx if…

• You want the lowest verified ongoing rate for semaglutide injection ($189/month MTM) or tirzepatide injection ($289/month MTM) with no membership fee.
• You prefer same pricing at every dose—starter, maintenance, or maximum—so monthly cost does not increase as dose escalates.
• You want oral GLP-1 capsules or a microdose protocol as alternatives to injection, options not available from the other six verified programs.
• You value monthly billing flexibility on multi-month commitments: PlexusDx's three-month and six-month plans bill monthly, not upfront.
• You want a program with a verified Trustpilot rating (4.3 stars, 83% four-star or higher) and transparent pricing published on live product pages.

Choose Eden if…

• You want the second-lowest all-in rate for semaglutide ($198/month including membership) or tirzepatide ($298/month including membership) and are comfortable with split billing (medication + membership as two separate charges).
• You value the $99 monthly membership structure if it includes additional services or support not itemized in this comparison.

Choose Peak Wellness if…

• You prefer middle-tier ongoing rates ($249/month semaglutide, $349/month tirzepatide) with no membership fee and are willing to pay more than PlexusDx or Eden for potential differences in service or support.
• You are considering a six-month prepaid plan and want to compare Peak Wellness's prepaid rates (not itemized in this comparison) to other programs' prepaid options.

Choose Found if…

• You can pay 12 months upfront ($2,028 for semaglutide, our calculation of $169/month × 12) and want the lowest total cost over a year among programs that offer prepaid plans.
• You have insurance coverage for GLP-1 weight management and want to explore Found's insurance track (from $99/month with insurance, separate from cash-pay rates).
• You are willing to accept higher month-to-month rates ($289 semaglutide, $359 tirzepatide) in exchange for a prepaid discount that requires full upfront commitment.

Choose Henry Meds if…

• You want semaglutide injection at a mid-range rate ($297/month) and prefer Henry Meds's service model or provider network.
• You are specifically interested in tirzepatide oral dissolving tablet instead of injection; Henry Meds offers the oral tablet route for tirzepatide, which the other six programs do not list.

Choose Embody if…

• You prefer standard mid-range rates ($299/month semaglutide, $349/month tirzepatide) with same-price-at-every-dose and no membership fee, and you value Embody's service or support model over lower-cost alternatives.

Choose TrimRx if…

• You are considering a prepaid three-month, six-month, or 12-month plan and want to compare TrimRx's prepaid rates (not itemized in this comparison) to other programs' prepaid options.
• You are comfortable with the checkout-verified ongoing rates ($299/month semaglutide, $399/month tirzepatide) that are higher than the advertised rates shown on TrimRx marketing pages, and you understand the advertised figures do not reflect month-to-month billing.

Methodology and freshness

All pricing in this comparison was captured between July 17 and July 23, 2026, through checkout verification or stable public pricing pages. PlexusDx pricing reflects the standing rate card as of September 22, 2026. Twelve-month cost totals are calculated as (monthly rate × 12) and labeled "our calculation." Prepaid per-month equivalents (Found's $169/month figure, for example) are calculated as (total upfront charge ÷ number of months) and labeled as prepaid or "our calculation of per-month equivalent."

Programs that require intake completion, location entry, or email submission before disclosing any price—including Fridays, MEDVi, Remedy Meds, Zealthy, and BetterMe Rx—are excluded because their pricing could not be independently verified without completing enrollment steps. This comparison includes only programs with publicly verifiable, stable pricing as of the capture dates noted.

Review data for PlexusDx (Trustpilot 4.3 stars, 79% five-star, 83% four-star or higher) was captured September 9, 2026, from trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com. Review records for the other six programs were not captured in the July 2026 verification cycle.

Insurance-based pricing is excluded from like-for-like comparisons because coverage, copays, and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan and patient. Found's insurance track ($99/month advertised rate with insurance) is noted but not compared directly to cash-pay rates.

Readers should confirm current pricing, medication availability, membership terms, and prepaid plan details directly with each provider at the time of enrollment. Telehealth GLP-1 pricing can change, and promotional rates or limited-time offers may appear after this comparison's capture dates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which GLP-1 program has the lowest month-to-month price?

PlexusDx offers the lowest verified month-to-month rates: $189 per month for semaglutide injection and $289 per month for tirzepatide injection, with no membership fee. Eden is second at $198 per month all-in for semaglutide and $298 per month for tirzepatide, but that total includes a required $99 monthly membership fee on top of medication cost.

Do any of these programs charge a separate membership fee?

Eden is the only verified program in this comparison that charges a separate monthly membership fee ($99 per month) on top of medication cost. The other six programs—PlexusDx, Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, Embody, and TrimRx—use a one-price model that includes provider consultations, medication, and shipping in the stated monthly rate.

Are prepaid plans worth the upfront cost?

Prepaid plans can lower total cost over 12 months if you are certain you will continue the medication for the full commitment period. Found's prepaid 12-month semaglutide plan costs $2,028 upfront (our calculation: $169/month × 12), which saves $1,440 versus Found's month-to-month rate over the same year, but you pay the full amount at enrollment. If you discontinue early, you have already paid for the full year. Compare the prepaid savings to the flexibility cost of month-to-month billing.

Does pricing increase when my dose increases?

PlexusDx and Embody both state that the monthly price stays the same at every dose level—starter, maintenance, or maximum. Eden, Peak Wellness, Found, Henry Meds, and TrimRx do not itemize dose-specific pricing in their public rate cards, so confirm dose pricing policy with those providers before starting. Some telehealth GLP-1 programs increase monthly cost as dose escalates; others hold the price flat across all doses.

Which programs offer oral GLP-1 capsules instead of injections?

PlexusDx offers both semaglutide oral capsules ($289/month MTM) and tirzepatide oral capsules ($349/month MTM) as alternatives to injection. Henry Meds offers a tirzepatide oral dissolving tablet, which is a different formulation than oral capsules. The other five verified programs—Eden, Peak Wellness, Found, Embody, and TrimRx—list only injection routes in their publicly available product catalogs as of July 2026.
