TMates by plan length
The lowest price TMates publishes on each plan, all in per month, what you pay on day one, and what twelve months at that price come to.
| Plan | Lowest-priced medication | Per month | Due up front | 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Month to month | Semaglutide | $249 | $249 | $2,988 |
| 3 months | Semaglutide | $217 | $651 | $2,604 |
| 6 months | Semaglutide | $175 | $1,050 | $2,100 |
| 12 months | Semaglutide | $158 | $1,896 | $1,896 |
First year, at the least: $1,896, on the 12-month plan for Semaglutide. That assumes the entry price every month; most programs charge more as the dose rises, so read it as a floor, not a quote.
