Brand vs compounded: what you actually pay
The same molecule, three ways to buy it. Manufacturer prices are its own published self-pay list and carry no link; program prices are all in, membership included, read off each seller’s own page.
| Route | Per month | 12 months at this price |
|---|---|---|
| Zepbound, self-pay from the manufacturer[1]2.5 mg, starting dose | $299 | $3,588 |
| Zepbound, self-pay at the top of the ladder[1]7.5 mg, KwikPen purchase offer, kept while each refill is within 45 days; regular price $499 (vials $499) | $449 | $5,388 |
| Zepbound through Sesame Carecheapest partner program selling it, month to month | $358 | $4,296 |
| Compounded tirzepatide through Collectivecheapest partner program, all in, month to month | $85 | $1,026 |
Compounded tirzepatide at Collective is $213 a month under Zepbound’s starting self-pay price, $2,561 over a year at those prices. Zepbound is FDA-approved; compounded tirzepatide is not.

How to choose a tirzepatide program: 7 checks
Price ranks the list. These decide whether the cheapest is cheapest for you. Each count is from the programs on this page, today.
- The price at your dose
- 2 of 2 hold one price at every dose
- Advertised prices are usually the starting dose. A seller that charges more as you step up can end up dearer than one with a higher entry price.
- How long you commit
- 15 of 15 sell tirzepatide month to month
- 14 of 15 publish cancel-anytime terms. A low price that needs a 6 or 12-month prepay is a loan to the seller if you stop early.
- Fees on top
- 2 of 15 add a membership fee
- None charge a separate consultation. We rank on the all-in price so a fee cannot hide.
- Insurance
- 3 of 15 take insurance
- Most cash programs cannot bill your plan. If your plan covers a brand GLP-1, a copay can beat every cash price here.
- Brand or compounded
- 6 of 15 also sell an FDA-approved brand
- Compounded versions are cheaper and not FDA-approved. If you want the approved drug later, a seller that stocks both saves a switch.
- Who stands behind it
- 1 of 15 carry a LegitScript certificate we confirmed
- A real program names its clinician network and its pharmacy. LegitScript certifies telehealth sellers; check a certificate on legitscript.com, not on a badge the seller hosts.
- Where you live
- 6 of 15 ship to all 50 states
- State rules decide who can prescribe and dispense. Check your state before you pay an intake fee.
Red flags: walk away if
- The box arrives warm or with too little ice. FDA says do not use it.[2]
- The seller will not name the pharmacy, or the one on the label is not on your state board's register.[2]
- Nobody assesses you before the sale. Compounded drugs are for patients a clinician has assessed.[2]
- Your dose comes in mg with no syringe units, or above the dose on the brand's label.[2] Convert mg to units
- You are told to keep using a vial more than 28 days after first opening it.[2]
What it is, how to pay less, and the risk
What tirzepatide is, how to pay less, and the risk
What it is
Zepbound. Eli Lilly's tirzepatide for weight loss. Price tracker
Compounded tirzepatide. The molecule in Zepbound and Mounjaro, mixed by a pharmacy rather than made by Eli Lilly. Price tracker
Ways to pay less
- Zepbound Savings Program: who qualifies, quoted from the maker
- Mounjaro Savings Card: who qualifies, quoted from the maker
- Check your insurer: what your plan publishes about GLP-1s
- Which programs charge a membership fee: most do not, so the monthly price is the whole bill
The risk of compounded
- Not FDA-approved: unapproved versions skip FDA's review for safety, effectiveness and quality.[2]
- Dosing errors with compounded injections have sent patients to hospital.[2]
- FDA has found labels naming pharmacies that do not exist, and shipments arriving warm.[2]
- 503B outsourcing facilities are FDA-inspected; 503A pharmacies answer to state boards.[3]
Cheapest tirzepatide: common questions
What is the cheapest tirzepatide right now?
Collective, at $85 a month all in month to month, read off its own site in October 2026. That is the lowest of 15 sellers we track for tirzepatide, ranked on what actually leaves your account, membership fees included.
How much does tirzepatide cost per month?
Across the 15 sellers we verified, the entry price runs from $85 to $399 a month all in, with a median of $174. Entry prices are usually the starting dose; the page lists each seller's term and fee.
Do tirzepatide programs charge a membership fee?
13 of the 15 we verified charge no separate fee. 2 add one on top of the medication price (Collective $16, Sesame Care $59), which is why we rank on the all-in price.
Does the price of tirzepatide go up with the dose?
It depends on the seller: some charge the same at every dose and some charge more as you step up. The advertised entry price is usually the lowest dose, so check the price at your dose on the seller's page before you compare.
Is compounded tirzepatide FDA-approved?
No. Compounded GLP-1s are prepared by licensed pharmacies for individual prescriptions and are not FDA-approved products; the FDA does not review them for safety or effectiveness before sale. Brand versions (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro) are FDA-approved. Each seller page here names the pharmacy we could identify.
Can I pay for tirzepatide with an HSA or FSA?
Usually, for the medication. The IRS counts "prescribed medicines and drugs" as medical expenses, and an HSA pays for "medical care" as defined in Code section 213(d) (IRS Publications 502 and 969, read October 2026). Program fees count when the weight loss is "a treatment for a specific disease diagnosed by a physician (such as obesity...)". Your plan administrator decides what it reimburses, so check before you pay; we track prices, not tax rules.
Do I need a prescription for tirzepatide?
Yes. Every GLP-1 here is sold on a prescription from a licensed clinician after an intake; 15 of the 15 programs we track say who does the prescribing, and none charges a separate consultation fee. FDA says compounded drugs "should only be used in patients whose medical needs cannot be met by an FDA-approved drug", so a seller that ships without assessing you is a red flag.
Can I change my tirzepatide dose, and does it cost more?
Your prescriber sets the dose. On price, 2 of the 2 sellers that publish dose-level prices charge the same at every dose and 0 charge more as you step up. FDA has received reports of dosing errors with compounded injections, some needing hospital care, so convert mg to syringe units from your own vial's label (our dose converter does the arithmetic).
Is compounded tirzepatide still legal?
It depends on who compounds it and why. FDA says "tirzepatide and semaglutide do not currently appear on the 503B bulks list or on FDA's drug shortage list", so the shortage that allowed mass copying is over (read October 2026). FDA has also proposed excluding both from the 503B bulks list. State-licensed pharmacies can still compound for an individual patient's documented need. Ask any seller which pharmacy fills your order and look it up with your state board.
Why trust this page, and our sources
Why trust this page
- PricesRead from each seller’s own page and dated, weekly. 163 recorded checks across 15 sellers since August 2026. How we verify
- OrderPrice only, all in. We earn a commission from some programs and it never moves a row. How we make money
- Written byJulian Caraulani, Founder, PriceTracker GLP-1.
- Clinical reviewDr. A. Goher, MD reviews the clinical statements only, never prices, rankings or which programs pay us.
- All in, not advertised. A $149 program with a $74 monthly membership is a $223 program, and it ranks as one. Where a seller has not published a fee we could verify, the row says so rather than assuming zero.
- Same money, shorter plan first. On a tie, the price you can walk away from after a month ranks above the same number on a prepay; then the name, alphabetically.
- Only sellers we can verify. Programs we cannot check, or that have stopped taking patients, drop off the list rather than sitting on it stale.
