Ranked board
Microdose GLP-1 plans, and what a year of one actually costs
Microdose plans are sold as the affordable entry to this category and they are where the four-week billing cycle is most concentrated: every row on this board is billed every 28 days, so every one of them is charged thirteen times a year rather than twelve. Two of the five will not tell you which molecule you are taking, and they are on the board with that stated, because a tier is not a molecule.

What gets on this board
Every priced row on a published review here that a company itself labels a microdose or low-dose GLP-1. Rows whose molecule the company never names are included, unlike on our single-compound boards — this board ranks a dosing tier, not a drug, so naming the molecule is not what makes a row belong.
What decides the order
Companies we have an affiliate relationship with are listed first, and we may earn a commission if you start with one. Within that group and within the rest, the order is 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. The prices themselves are read off each company's own page and are the same either way.

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
Show definitions
- 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.
- Year at this price
- 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 board ranks on cost, not on care. 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 are rows here that our cheapest boards refuse to list?
Because the two boards turn on different facts. A cheapest compounded semaglutide board can only carry a row whose molecule the company actually names — putting an unnamed GLP-1 in a semaglutide price column would assert an identity nobody published. This board ranks a dosing tier, and a company that sells a microdose plan has told you it is a microdose plan whatever is in the vial. Where the molecule is unstated, the row says so.
Is a microdose cheaper than a standard dose at the same company?
At the two companies here that sell both, yes, and by an amount worth checking against the plan you would otherwise buy. What this board does not tell you is whether a lower dose is the right thing for you, which is a clinical question and not a pricing one. Every row links to the review that shows the standard-dose price beside it.
