GLP-1 Price Index — August 2026

We track 59 U.S. telehealth programs. Prices are verified against first-party provider sources and normalized by medication, billing cycle, plan length, mandatory fees and dose pricing.

As of August 31, 2026:

Across 59 tracked programs, the cheapest first-party-verified compounded tirzepatide is Trimi at $125 per month (on a 12-month plan, billed as a $1,500 prepayment); the cheapest verified true month-to-month tirzepatide is NexLife at $169 per month. For compounded semaglutide the equivalents are Sunlight at $88 per month and NexLife at $139 per month. Third-party reports we have not verified go lower and are shown with grade D. Commitment-plan and month-to-month rates are different purchases and are never blended.
