What does a GLP-1 actually cost, and which route is cheapest?

The cheapest verified route on this site is Qsymia at $75 a month all-in once titrated, and the dearest of the 24 priced routes is $548 — a spread of $473 a month, or $5,676 across a year, for drugs that are in several cases the same molecule. All-in means membership plus medication together: a membership fee on its own is not a price for a drug, and the figure quoted here is the maintenance price rather than the introductory one, because the starting dose is not the dose anyone stays on. A year is not twelve times that figure either — the early months are a cheaper dose and a manufacturer's month is 28 days, so a year is thirteen fills. Copay cards are not prices: they cap what the manufacturer contributes, per fill and per calendar year, and on Lilly's cards those two ceilings meet to the dollar at exactly one year. Every price here carries the date it was read, and anything past 45 days without a re-check is marked stale rather than quietly aging.

Start with the question you actually have

Questions this site exists to answer

What is the cheapest way to get a GLP-1 for weight loss?
Qsymia at $75 a month all-in once titrated, read from its own published page on 2026-09-08. All-in means membership plus medication, because a membership fee on its own is not a price for a drug. The full ranking is at /c, and every figure carries the date it was read.
Why is the price here different from the one on the seller's own site?
It is not — it is the same figure, read from that page on the date shown, and stated as the maintenance price rather than the introductory one. The difference between sites is usually which number they quote: an intro dose, a membership fee, or the price you pay once titrated. This site quotes the last of those, because it is the one you actually live with.
How much does a year cost?
More than the monthly figure times twelve, for two reasons that compound: the first months are a lower dose at a different price, and a manufacturer's month is 28 days, which makes a year thirteen fills rather than twelve. The calculator at /cost-calculator walks each published step at its own price.
Is compounded semaglutide the same drug?
Same molecule, different legal product. Compounding is an exemption from FDA approval rather than a form of it, so a compounded copy has no trial and no approved label of its own, and its quality is a fact about the pharmacy that mixes it. No seller on this site publishes which pharmacy that is — checked across all eleven of them, with the pages read listed at /pharmacy.
Who writes this and how is it paid for?
One person, named at /who/alex-seot, who reads each price at its source — the seller's own page where one exists — and records the figure with the date. Some links are paid and are labelled as such where they appear; a commission buys no ranking, and the score is arithmetic over stored fields on a formula published in full at /method.
