● The Desk's #1 pick · August 2026

CoreAge Rx tops the ranking — $99/mo semaglutide, $149/mo tirzepatide.

The price tracker

Headline monthly compounded prices at our tracked providers, with the direction each moved since our last check. A falling line is good news for you; rising is worth a second look.

Provider	Semaglutide	Tirzepatide	Trend	Desk note
CoreAge Rx	$99/mo only on a 12-month plan paid in full ($1,188 in one charge); month-to-month rate not published	$149/mo only on a 12-month plan paid in full ($1,788 in one charge); month-to-month rate not published	Stableprice stable	Headline unchanged for a third straight cycle. The $99 and $149 are the 12-month prepay rates; CoreAge publishes no month-to-month price.
Eden FDA warning letter, June 2026 — issued to Eden Health International Inc. dba Eden. See the FDA's warning letter database.	$198/mo all-in — $99/mo for the medication plus the $99/mo Eden membership it cannot be bought without ($138 the first month, when membership is $39); compounded	$298/mo all-in — $199/mo for the medication plus the required $99/mo membership ($238 the first month); compounded	Fallingprice falling	Re-read 28 August 2026 and restated: Eden advertises compounded semaglutide at $99/mo and tirzepatide at $199/mo, but its own footnote says medication cannot be bought without an Eden membership that costs $39 the first month and $99/mo after — so the real monthly cost is $198 and $298. That is below the $239 and $349 we carried before, so the direction is down even after adding the fee back in. Brand-name Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro ($1,399/mo) and Wegovy ($1,695/mo) are sold here too.
Trimi	$175/mo month-to-month · $99/mo only on a 12-month prepay ($1,188 in one charge)	$235/mo month-to-month · $125/mo only on a 12-month prepay ($1,500 in one charge)	Stableprice stable	Membership rate held flat this cycle — both molecules disclosed up front, no first-month teaser.
Sesame Care	Brand Wegovy pill from $149/mo at 1.5 and 4 mg only, $299/mo at 9 and 25 mg — plus Sesame care: $59/mo only on the 12-month prepay ($708 in one charge), $69/mo on 6 months, $79/mo on 3 months, otherwise $99 billed every 28 days (13 charges a year)	Brand Zepbound vial $299/mo (2.5 mg), $399 (5 mg), $449 (7.5–15 mg); KwikPen $299 / $399 / $499 / $699 (10–15 mg) — plus Sesame care: $59/mo only on the 12-month prepay, $69/mo on 6 months, $79/mo on 3 months, otherwise $99 per 28 days	Stableprice stable	Marketplace pricing is set per provider rather than one provider rate; the brand-name Wegovy pill line held its ~$149 entry this cycle.
ShedRx	$199/mo on the 1-month plan · $179/mo on 6 months · $159/mo only on a 12-month commitment (all plans carry a 2-month minimum)	$299/mo on the 1-month plan · $269/mo on 6 months · $239/mo only on a 12-month commitment (all plans carry a 2-month minimum)	Fallingprice falling	Its lowest tirzepatide rate is $239, and that needs the 12-month commitment; the one-month rung is $299.
Sprout Health FDA warning letter, September 2025 — issued to Sprout Health Partners LLC dba Sprout Health. See the FDA's warning letter database.	$299/mo	$349/mo	Stableprice stable	The standing compounded rates are $299 semaglutide / $349 tirzepatide; the $149/$199 on the home page are first-month-only prices under code FIRST150. A brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound path is available on the same account.
HealthRX	$190/mo month-to-month ($149 first month, renews at $165) · $133/mo on a 3-month prepay ($399) · $119/mo on 6 months ($714) · $99/mo only on the 12-month prepay ($1,188 in one charge)	$239/mo month-to-month ($193 first month, renews at $214) · $209/mo on a 3-month prepay ($627) · $199/mo on 6 months ($1,194) · $179/mo only on the 12-month prepay ($2,148 in one charge)	Stableprice stable	Company-stated tiers held flat this cycle; the LegitScript badge and a rare oral GLP tablet are the draw, but some tiers are self-reported rather than checkout-verified.
MadeMed	$239/mo injectable and $219/mo sublingual on the quarterly plan ($717 / $657 in one charge); $199 and $179 on the 6-month plan. No month-to-month option	$399/mo injectable and $299/mo sublingual on the quarterly plan ($1,197 / $897 in one charge); $369 and $279 on the 6-month plan. No month-to-month option	Stableprice stable	Publishes one price per route that holds at every dose — the cleanest dose-to-price mapping we track.
Invigor Medical	$199/mo	$339/mo	Stableprice stable	Long-running operator; mid-market pricing unchanged this cycle.
Telos Rx	From $99/mo injectable — a floor, not a rate: Telos publishes "as low as $99" and says the price depends on plan length, which is shown only inside the intake	From $139/mo injectable · from $116/mo microdosed (microdosing is tirzepatide, not semaglutide) · the needle-free option is one "Oral GLP-1" product covering either molecule, priced from $9 a day on a 3-month prepay	Stableprice stable	The $49 and $99 headlines are FIRST-MONTH rates on prepaid oral plans, not annual-lock rates: Telos itself labels them "first month", renewing at $129 and $139, and bills in 4/12/24/48-week cycles rather than calendar months. Standing injectable rates are $99 semaglutide and $139 tirzepatide; everything outside GLP-1 stays unpriced until intake.
Enhance MD	$249 every 4 weeks month-to-month (13 charges a year); $212/mo only on the 12-month prepay	$329 every 4 weeks month-to-month (13 charges a year); $280/mo only on the 12-month prepay	Stableprice stable	The ladder is fully published, but its rungs are prepay blocks: $212 and $280 are the 12-MONTH rates, while month-to-month is $249 and $329 — and every plan bills every 4 weeks, so a "monthly" plan is 13 charges a year. The $112 is $212 less a dated SUMMER50 coupon, not an entry rate.
REMEVi	$219/mo (all doses, compounded)	$319/mo (all doses, compounded)	Newnew to the tracker, no prior reading	New to the tracker on 1 August 2026, and read on the provider's own site rather than taken on trust: we checked https://remevihealth.com/pricing on 2026-08-01 and this row reflects what that page says. The line we publish is $219/mo (all doses, compounded). There is no earlier reading of ours to compare it against yet.
Ro	Not disclosed	Not disclosed	Stableprice stable	Brand-name access and insurance navigation, but compounded pricing stays off the record.
Ondra Health	$93/mo	$166/mo	Stableprice stable	$93 sema / $166 tirz — the lowest accredited nationwide line we track; brand access + LegitScript.
Vaylen	$179/mo	$239/mo	Stableprice stable	$179 sema / $239 tirz; brand + oral + LegitScript across all 50 states.
Vytora Health	$150/mo	$200/mo	Stableprice stable	$150 sema / $200 tirz nationwide; LegitScript-certified with brand-name access.
yourEra	From $79/mo — yourEra publishes only a floor; the plan tiers sit behind the intake quiz	From $159/mo — yourEra publishes only a floor; the plan tiers sit behind the intake quiz	Stableprice stable	$199 sema / $299 tirz posted openly on-site; mid-market, but the number is right there before the quiz.

See the FDA's warning letter database.	$99/mo lozenge · $129/mo injectable (auto-refill price; 30-day supply)	$199/mo lozenge · $149/mo injectable (auto-refill price; 30-day supply)	Stableprice stable	Cheapest oral route we track at $99 — but only on auto-refill; the one-off rate runs higher.

Amazon One Medical	Not disclosed	Not disclosed	Stableprice stable	Brand-access model through One Medical clinicians; compounded pricing isn't published, so there's no sticker to track.

CoreAge Rx

One price on both molecules that does not climb as you titrate — but the headline $99 and $149 are annual-plan rates, paid in full up front.

Semaglutide: $99/mo only on a 12-month plan paid in full ($1,188 in one charge); month-to-month rate not published
Tirzepatide: $149/mo only on a 12-month plan paid in full ($1,788 in one charge); month-to-month rate not published
Coverage: US only; restrictions by state, confirmed at intake
Price trend: Stableprice stable

The price does not step up as your dose rises, and there is no first-month teaser that resets later
Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
Ships nationwide, though its own FAQ notes some states are restricted — confirm yours at intake

The advertised $99 and $149 require a 12-month plan paid in full — $1,188 and $1,788 in a single charge
No month-to-month rate is published anywhere, so the cost of trying it for one month is unknown until intake
No FDA-approved brand-name option — compounded only — and it does not publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy

Eden

A polished, high-disclosure program with strong nationwide coverage — you pay more, but you know exactly what you're paying for.

Semaglutide: $198/mo all-in — $99/mo for the medication plus the $99/mo Eden membership it cannot be bought without ($138 the first month, when membership is $39); compounded
Tirzepatide: $298/mo all-in — $199/mo for the medication plus the required $99/mo membership ($238 the first month); compounded
Coverage: All 50 states
Price trend: Fallingprice falling

Publishes every price before intake — both compounded molecules and all four branded pens, on one page with no quiz in front of it
A real brand-name lane: Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro and Wegovy are sold alongside the compounded lines, so the FDA-approved product is available without changing providers
States "No long-term contracts" — the membership and the medication both bill monthly

The advertised $99/mo is medication only — an Eden membership at $99/mo is required to buy it at all, so the real cost is $198/mo, and the membership renews whether or not you are prescribed anything
The membership's $39 first month makes month one look like the standing rate; it is not
Brand-name pens are stocked but expensive — $1,399/mo for Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro, $1,695/mo for Wegovy

A clean, all-in membership provider that publishes one price on both molecules nationwide and hasn't played the teaser-rate game.

Tirzepatide: $235/mo month-to-month · $125/mo only on a 12-month prepay ($1,500 in one charge)

Price trend: Stableprice stable

Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide disclosed up front — no quote-to-see-the-price wall
Flat membership rate held steady this cycle, with no month-one step-up
Available in all 50 states

Not the cheapest line in the ranking — several providers undercut its $175 month-to-month semaglutide
Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) route
No oral or sublingual option

Price trend: Stableprice stable

Real FDA-approved brand-name access — Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Rybelsus
Established platform (operating since 2018) with LegitScript, BBB accreditation and large third-party review volume
You choose the provider and see the price up front — genuine marketplace transparency

A generalist marketplace, not a dedicated weight-loss program — lighter ongoing hand-holding than a specialist provider
Two-part cost (a platform subscription plus the medication) makes the true monthly total harder to compare
Brand-name cash prices can run high without insurance

Sprout Health

A LegitScript-certified provider that pairs low-cost compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with a real brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound path — and a near-frictionless, often visit-free start.

No oral or sublingual route — injectable only
Thin transparency — no named medical director, and state availability is quiz-gated

MadeMed

Publishes a price for every dose of every route — which makes it easy to brief, and expensive if you stay low.

Semaglutide: $239/mo injectable and $219/mo sublingual on the quarterly plan ($717 / $657 in one charge); $199 and $179 on the 6-month plan. No month-to-month option
Tirzepatide: $399/mo injectable and $299/mo sublingual on the quarterly plan ($1,197 / $897 in one charge); $369 and $279 on the 6-month plan. No month-to-month option
Coverage: 40 states for the oral line; injectable semaglutide names 23
Price trend: Stableprice stable

One published price per route that does not change as the dose climbs, so a titration schedule can be costed exactly
Sublingual tablets for BOTH molecules alongside the injections — a needle-free route at a lower price than the injection
Six-month plans drop the monthly rate below the quarterly headline

Flat-at-every-dose pricing means a reader holding a low dose pays the full-dose rate
Billed quarterly rather than monthly, so the real commitment is three months of cost up front
Available in 40 states rather than nationwide
