The short answer: As of June 2026, compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medication through telehealth runs roughly $99–$300/month for semaglutide and $125–$400/month for tirzepatide, depending on the provider and how long you commit. But the advertised "from" price is often misleading: the lowest numbers are usually annual-prepay rates, and some providers add a required membership fee that isn't in the headline. Nouri's compounded semaglutide is $120/month on the six-month plan and tirzepatide is $175/month — all-inclusive (medication plus a nutrition plan and a movement plan), the same price at any dose, with no separate membership fee.

What GLP-1 weight loss actually costs in 2026

GLP-1 medications — semaglutide and tirzepatide — have become the most-searched weight-loss treatments in the country, and a crowded field of telehealth providers now offers compounded versions. The problem for anyone trying to budget is that no two providers present their price the same way. One advertises a low monthly number that only applies if you prepay a year. Another shows a medication price but requires a separate membership to actually get the medication. A third bundles coaching into a higher number.

To make the real cost comparable, we compiled the advertised pricing for the major compounded-GLP-1 telehealth providers and calculated the effective monthly price — what you actually pay once required fees are included. The full, openly-licensed data is published as the Nouri GLP-1 Telehealth Pricing 2026 dataset on Hugging Face (CC-BY-4.0). Here is the summary.

Why the sticker price is usually misleading: three traps

Trap 1 — A membership fee that isn't in the headline price

The clearest example in June 2026 is Eden, which advertises compounded semaglutide from $99/month and tirzepatide from $199/month. Read the fine print and a separate Eden Membership is required to obtain medication — $39 for the first month, then auto-renewing at $99/month — and it is not included in the advertised price. That roughly doubles the real cost to about $198/month for semaglutide and $298/month for tirzepatide. Mochi uses the same structure — its advertised $99/$199 medication price excludes a required $79/month membership, putting the real cost around $178/month and $278/month. A membership fee isn't inherently bad, but a price that hides it makes honest comparison impossible.

Trap 2 — "From" prices are usually annual-prepay

Several providers headline a very low number — Cora and Trimi both advertise semaglutide "from $99/month" — that only applies if you prepay twelve months up front. The month-to-month price is materially higher (commonly $175–$235/month). The annual rate can be a genuinely good deal if you're confident you'll stay on treatment for a year, but it's a large prepayment, and it's not the price most people pay in month one.

Trap 3 — What's actually included

Most providers price the medication alone. A few bundle coaching or an app. Very few include structured nutrition and movement support — the parts of weight care that determine whether results last. When you compare prices, compare what the price buys: medication only, medication plus coaching, or a complete program.

Compounded vs. brand-name pricing

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide through telehealth are generally lower in cash price than brand-name GLP-1s bought without insurance, where manufacturer list prices run roughly $1,000–$1,350/month (self-pay programs from the manufacturers have lowered some of these). But price isn't the only difference, and it isn't the most important one: compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro. They are prepared by state-licensed compounding pharmacies and prescribed only when a licensed clinician determines treatment is appropriate. The right comparison weighs the pharmacy, the clinical model, and what's included — not just the number.

FSA and HSA

Some compounded GLP-1 costs may be eligible for FSA or HSA reimbursement, typically with a receipt and sometimes a letter of medical necessity. Eligibility depends on your plan administrator and the specifics of your treatment, so confirm with them before assuming a cost will be covered.

How Nouri prices — and why

Nouri's price is built to remove the three traps above:

  • One all-inclusive price. Every plan includes the compounded GLP-1 medication (when prescribed), a personalized nutrition plan, and a movement plan — not the medication alone.
  • The same price at any dose. Your cost does not increase as your dose is titrated up.
  • No separate membership fee. The price you see is the price you pay.

As of June 2026, compounded semaglutide is $120/month on the six-month plan ($145/month on three months, $175/month billed monthly), and compounded tirzepatide is $175/month on the six-month plan ($199/month on three months, $225/month billed monthly). Medication is prepared by state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacies (Jungle Jim's Pharmacy and VialsRX), and every start is backed by the Nouri Promise: a 30-day money-back guarantee — a full refund on the 3-month and 6-month plans.

Frequently asked questions

How much does compounded semaglutide cost per month in 2026? Advertised prices range from about $99 to $179/month, but the real cost depends on commitment length and whether a membership fee is required. Nouri's is $120/month on the six-month plan, all-inclusive.

Why is the advertised price often lower than what you actually pay? The lowest "from" price is usually an annual-prepay rate, and some providers require a separate membership fee not shown in the headline.

Is compounded GLP-1 cheaper than brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound? Usually lower in cash price, but it's not the same product — compounded medications are not FDA-approved and not therapeutically equivalent to brand-name drugs.

Does the price increase as my dose increases? With some providers, yes. With Nouri, no — the price is the same at any dose.

Are GLP-1 telehealth costs FSA/HSA eligible? They may be, with a receipt and sometimes a letter of medical necessity; confirm with your plan administrator.
