How this comparison works
This page is published by Gala, which is one of the programs compared. To keep it useful anyway, it does not rank providers. They are listed in alphabetical order and compared on the same criteria:
- which GLP-1 medications the program lists on its own website
- the prices it publishes, and whether the price is a membership, the medication, or both
- whether it works with insurance
- one real drawback, taken from the company's own terms
Every price and term below was copied from the company's own website on November 11, 2026. Each source is linked at the end of the page. Prices, offers and state availability change often, so confirm them on the provider's site before you sign up.

Membership vs medication: what a price includes
The biggest source of confusion when comparing programs is what a headline price covers. The companies above use three different models:
- Membership plus medication billed separately: Hims and Hers, Ro, Mochi and WeightWatchers charge a membership for the care and bill the medication on top. Hims states its listed prices are for medication only.
- One plan price with medication included: Found includes medication on its compounded plans, and Gala lists all doses included with no membership fee.
- Brand-name medicines near manufacturer self-pay prices: several programs list starting prices for Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo that match the manufacturers' own self-pay programs. See GLP-1 cost without insurance for those prices by dose.
To compare two programs fairly, add the membership to the medication price at the dose you are likely to reach, not just the starting dose, and check whether the lowest price needs a prepaid plan.
Brand-name or compounded
Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo are FDA-approved for weight management. Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes; weight management is not among the uses on their labels.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient on a provider's prescription, and according to the FDA they do not undergo premarket review for safety, effectiveness or quality. Clinical trial results for the brand-name medicines should not be assumed to apply to compounded versions. Our guide to compounded vs brand-name GLP-1 explains the differences.
How to choose
These questions narrow the list quickly:
- Do you have insurance that may cover a GLP-1? If so, start with a program that checks coverage and handles prior authorization.
- Do you want only FDA-approved medicines? Ro and WeightWatchers say they focus on or prescribe only FDA-approved options.
- Is the provider available in your state? Hims, Hers and Found say their GLP-1 treatment is not offered in every state.
- What will you pay at your maintenance dose, membership included, and what happens if you cancel a prepaid plan?
- Who reviews your health history, and how do you reach them after you start? A licensed provider should review your intake before prescribing.

Frequently asked questions
Which online GLP-1 provider is the cheapest?
It depends on your dose, whether you use insurance and whether you prepay. Headline prices usually apply to the starting dose or to a 12-month plan, and several programs bill a membership on top of the medication. Add the membership to the medication price at your likely dose to compare.
Do online GLP-1 programs take insurance?
Some do. According to their websites, Ro, Found, Mochi, Noom Med and WeightWatchers work with insurance. Hims and Hers say insurance is not required, and Gala is self-pay.
Are compounded GLP-1 medications FDA-approved?
No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient on a provider's prescription.
Do I need a video visit to get a GLP-1 online?
It depends on the provider and your state. Hims and Gala both say that, depending on state rules, treatment may be decided without a video visit or may need one.
