Ranked board
The cheapest GLP-1 providers to actually stay on for a year
A monthly price is the wrong unit for a treatment people stay on for years, and it is the unit every company advertises in. This board converts each seller's cheapest GLP-1 into the number that matters — what twelve months, or thirteen charges, actually comes to.

What gets on this board
Every company with a published review here that sells a GLP-1 — semaglutide, tirzepatide or liraglutide, branded or compounded. Each appears once, on its cheapest GLP-1.
What decides the order
Ranked by true-year cost, cheapest first — the price of one cycle with no commitment, multiplied by the number of times a year it is actually billed. Nothing is pinned, sponsored, or lifted into position.

Ranked by what a year actually costs
The advertised column is what the company leads with. The walk-away column is what one cycle costs if you stop after it. The year column is the second of those multiplied by the number of times a year it is genuinely billed — which is thirteen, not twelve, for anyone on a four-week cycle.

Key terms
- Walk-away price
- What one cycle costs at the standing, no-commitment rate — what you pay if you stop after it. Not a prepay tier and not a first-month promotion.
- True year
- The walk-away price multiplied by the number of times it is actually billed in a year: 12 on a calendar-month cycle, 13 on a four-week cycle.
- Advertised price
- The figure the company leads with on its own pricing page. It is shown here beside the price you pay rather than instead of it.
What this board does not tell you
Whether you qualify
Coverage varies by state, and several of these companies serve fewer states than they appear to. Each review names the exclusions its company actually discloses.
Whether the care is good
This is a cost ranking and nothing else. We have not assessed anyone's clinical care, and there is no quality score anywhere on this site.
What your insurer pays
Every figure here is a cash price. What a covered drug costs you depends on your own plan's formulary and deductible, and no public source publishes a per-drug copay.
Whether the price will hold
Plans restructure without notice. Every row carries the date it was read so you can see how old the number is before you rely on it.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the order different from the cheapest boards?
The cheapest boards sort on the price of one cycle. This one sorts on a year, which is where a four-week billing cycle changes the answer — thirteen charges of a lower price can beat, or lose to, twelve charges of a higher one. When the two boards disagree, that gap is the reason.
Does a company pay to be higher on this list?
There is nowhere for that to be recorded. A price row in our data has no partner flag, no priority number and no featured slot, and the sort reads the annual cost figure and nothing else. Where a company lands is decided by what it charges.
Why does each company appear only once?
Several sell four or five different formulations. Listing every one would let a single company occupy most of the board and bury everybody else, so each is entered on its cheapest GLP-1 and the rest are on its review.
