You’ve done the math on Wegovy at retail. You’ve watched telehealth ads promise “as low as $X/month” and then discovered that number excludes the actual medication, the quarterly lab draw, the provider visit fee, and sometimes a platform membership you never knew you were signing up for. You want a clean answer: what does this cost, start to finish, and are there any surprises?
That question is harder to answer than it should be. This list is an attempt to make it easier.
What Went Into These Picks
Four things got weighted here: visible pricing (can you see the number before you hand over a card?), medical oversight (is a licensed prescriber actually in the loop?), product quality (third-party testing, pharmacy credentials), and shipping reality (does it arrive cold, fast, and to your state?). Brands that bury fees behind a membership wall and then add the medication cost on top scored lower. Brands that show a flat cash number up front, with oversight baked in, scored higher.
One honest aside before the list: none of these products are appropriate to start without talking to a doctor who knows your full history. This article ranks transparency and access, not safety for your specific situation.
The 12 Picks
1. FormBlends
FormBlends earns the top slot for one specific reason: it shows you the price per vial on the product page, before any signup, with no membership layered underneath. A tirzepatide vial runs $50 more than the semaglutide option ($349 vs. $299), which is a concrete number you can budget against. Prescriptions go through a licensed physician, dispensed by an FDA-registered pharmacy with cGMP and inspection credentials. The model covers 47 states, shipping is included, and the package arrives cold-chain protected. What actually separates FormBlends from every other brand on this list is the width of the catalog: GLP-1 peptides sit alongside a full range of recovery, nootropic, and longevity compounds, all under one prescriber-supervised roof. Most telehealth weight-loss platforms carry one or two things. Most peptide vendors sell without any prescription process. FormBlends does both, under the same oversight structure. Compounded products here are not FDA-approved, and for the non-GLP-1 peptides especially, human clinical evidence is mostly early-stage or preclinical.
2. Mochi Health
Mochi uses board-certified obesity-medicine specialists rather than general practitioners, which is a meaningful clinical distinction, not a marketing one. Compounded semaglutide comes in around $99/month and tirzepatide around $199/month, with multi-month pricing breaks available. They also handle branded-drug insurance pathways. The monitoring is more hands-on than most comparable platforms.
3. Hims & Hers
After a March 2026 settlement with Novo Nordisk, Hims & Hers moved away from compounded semaglutide and toward branded medications for new patients. Injectable Wegovy lists at roughly $299/month through the platform, oral Wegovy at about $249/month, and Zepbound at around $399/month. With commercial insurance and a manufacturer savings card, those numbers can fall to near zero. The app experience is fast and the onboarding is streamlined. Fee structure is straightforward given the shift to branded pricing.
4. Ro Body
Ro’s membership runs about $39 for the first month and can settle around $74/month on an annual commitment or $149/month month-to-month. Medication is billed separately. They have a prior-authorization team and accept insurance for branded GLP-1s. Pricing is itemized, not bundled, which means you know exactly what each layer costs.
5. MEDVi
No contracts, no recurring membership fee. MEDVi charges around $179 for the first month of a compounded GLP-1 program and includes physician review and 24/7 support in that price. Straightforward structure for patients who want to avoid long commitments.
6. Henry Meds
Henry Meds runs cash-pay compounded programs in the $179 to $249 range for the first month and is known specifically for shipping speed, typically 24 to 72 hours. The clinical monitoring is lighter compared to more intensive programs like Mochi, which is worth knowing before you sign up.
7. PlushCare
PlushCare is a general telehealth platform with a $19.99/month app membership. It prescribes branded FDA-approved GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, accepts insurance, and offers same-day appointments. Visits, labs, and prescriptions are billed beyond the membership, so the total depends heavily on your insurance situation.
8. Eden
Eden keeps its cash-pay model simple. Compounded semaglutide runs around $149/month. No frills, no elaborate coaching layer. Good fit for a self-directed patient who wants low-friction access.
9. Found
Found combines medication with coaching and charges around $99/month for platform access, with the medication billed separately. The dual-track model suits patients who want behavioral support alongside a prescription.
10. Sesame (Success by Sesame)
Sesame’s marketplace pricing model starts around $59/month on an annual plan and covers telehealth visits plus unlimited messaging. The medication cost sits outside that number. Transparent baseline fee, variable total depending on what you add.
11. WeightWatchers Clinic
The program fee runs about $74/month, with medication priced separately. The behavior-change infrastructure behind WeightWatchers is real and long-tested, even if the clinical layer is newer.
12. Form Health
Form Health is the premium end of this list: roughly $299/month for the program, plus labs and medication on top. You get a physician and a registered dietitian working together. For patients with good insurance or a higher budget who want that level of coordination, the cost reflects a genuinely different service model.
How to Pick the Right One
Start with your insurance situation. If you have commercial coverage, brands like Hims & Hers, Ro, and PlushCare can get you to branded GLP-1s at a fraction of list price. If you’re paying cash and want maximum price clarity with no subscription math to do, FormBlends and MEDVi show you the number before you commit. If clinical depth matters more than price, Mochi and Form Health are worth the premium. The “no hidden fees” standard is simple: you should be able to calculate your monthly cost without a phone call.
