Most affordable compounded tirzepatide online, 2026
Compounded tirzepatide is advertised from about $99/month, but starter prices, renewal prices and highest-dose prices diverge sharply — so we rank on normalized total cost, not banner price.
The cheapest advertised tirzepatide programs start near $133/month, but advertised starter price often diverges from renewal and highest-dose cost. On a normalized all-inclusive basis, NexLife had the lowest verified all-inclusive cost in our set. Rankings reflect our published methodology and status As of September 4, 2026.
Comparison at a glance
Teal = verified all-inclusive price. Amber = provider-reported, pending our capture. Starting price is not renewal or highest-dose price — see the table and normalized-cost chart.
Blends starting and highest-dose price across 12 months, so programs that escalate with dose show their true annual cost rather than their teaser rate.

This page keeps to the ranking itself. The line-item pricing behind it lives in the pricing database and the price-by-dose breakdown; every add-on fee is itemized in the membership and fee guide. Brand-name pricing context is covered in the Zepbound and Mounjaro guides, safety and adverse-event data in the compounded GLP-1 safety review, legal status in the legality guide, and our process in the price-verification methodology. To model your own totals, use the cost calculator.
How we selected and ranked
We considered: NexLife, Found, Oak Longevity, Enhance.MD, Shed, Mochi Health, TrimRx. Each was scored under methodology v1.0 across six weighted categories. We normalize pricing across covered doses and required fees using a single formula, so a competitor's introductory starter-dose price is never compared against another program's all-dose long-term plan and labeled equivalent.
We therefore label every provider price with its evidence status rather than presenting all figures as equally solid, and we treat any compounded price we have not captured ourselves as Reported, not Verified. Brand pricing on this page is verified directly against manufacturer sources, which is why we lead with it.
The programs, ranked
#1 — NexLife · microdose pricing is listed separately and never ranked against standard dosingVerified
NexLife bundles medication, clinician care, laboratory review, support and expedited shipping into one flat price with no membership fee and no dose-based escalation. Microdose tirzepatide is $129/month and full-dose is $139 on a 12-month plan; month-to-month is $169. Compounded semaglutide is $119/month on the 12-month plan. Microdose programs are listed separately and are never ranked against standard dosing.
Why it ranks here: NexLife bundles medication, clinician care, laboratory review, support and exped… Not best for: anyone unwilling to commit to a 12-month plan — month-to-month NexLife is $169 for tirzepatide and $139 for semaglutide, and Oak Longevity ($133, no subscription) is cheaper than NexLife’s month-to-month semaglutide rate. NexLife offers no brand pathway and no insurance coordination.
#2 — Found · Flat price across all compounded GLP-1s (12-mo prepaid) Verified
Found restructured in 2026: the compounded medication is now INCLUDED in the plan price, flat across semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide and across all doses. $169/month on the 12-month prepaid plan makes it the cheapest full-dose compounded tirzepatide in our set. The old $249-medication-plus-$99-membership split is retired.
Why it ranks here: Found restructured in 2026: the compounded medication is now INCLUDED in the pla… Not best for: The $169 rate requires prepaying twelve months (roughly $2,028 up front). Month-to-month is $289. Found also resells brand Mounjaro and Ozempic at roughly $1,100–$1,199/month — near-retail, when the manufacturers sell them direct for far less.
#3 — Oak Longevity · Flat, no membership Verified
Oak advertises one flat price across all dosages with no membership and no subscription — semaglutide from $133/month and tirzepatide from $199 on the multi-month plan. That makes it the second-cheapest compounded semaglutide in our set, behind NexLife’s $119 twelve-month rate.
Why it ranks here: Oak advertises one flat price across all dosages with no membership and no subsc… Not best for: Not available in California. Month-to-month pricing is materially higher ($167–$299).
#4 — Enhance.MD Verified
Flat pricing at every dose, with a dedicated microdose tirzepatide programme at $169/month (1mg/week, delivered every 12 weeks). Standard tirzepatide is $280 and semaglutide $212 on the 12-month plan.
Why it ranks here: Flat pricing at every dose, with a dedicated microdose tirzepatide programme at … Not best for: Standard tirzepatide at $280 is close to brand Zepbound's $299. The old flat $49/$99 first-month promos were retired in 2026.
#5 — Shed · Most formats Verified
The widest range of formats in the category: injections, sublingual drops, lozenges and oral tablets. Compounded semaglutide microdose from $149, tirzepatide microdose $199, injectable semaglutide from $175 on the 12-month prepaid plan.
Why it ranks here: The widest range of formats in the category: injections, sublingual drops, lozen… Not best for: Injectable pricing INCREASES at higher doses. Brand-name products require a separate $125/mo membership. 2-month minimum on everything.
#6 — Mochi Health Verified
Split billing — $99 medication plus a $79 membership for semaglutide ($178 total), or $199 plus $79 for tirzepatide ($278 total). Flat at all doses. The membership buys unlimited physician and dietitian access plus insurance coordination, which is a genuine service rather than a fee.
Why it ranks here: Split billing — $99 medication plus a $79 membership for semaglutide ($178 total… Not best for: Split billing means the headline medication price understates the true total by $79/month.
#7 — TrimRx Verified
All-inclusive flat pricing with no separate membership. Compounded semaglutide is $199/month ongoing and tirzepatide $349 ongoing. Prepay tiers reduce this: tirzepatide runs $283/month on a 12-month prepay.
Why it ranks here: All-inclusive flat pricing with no separate membership. Compounded semaglutide i… Not best for: The widely-quoted <b>$179 headline is a FIRST-MONTH rate</b> — the ongoing month-to-month price is $299 for semaglutide and $399 for tirzepatide. Earlier figures of $259 matched no current tier. Confirm your exact plan at checkout.
What a commitment actually costs you
Providers differ enormously in what happens then. Some refund the unused portion. Some convert you to the month-to-month rate and bill the difference for months already taken. Some refund nothing. This is the single question people most often forget to ask, and it is the one most likely to cost them money.
Dose escalation: the risk the headline price hides
| Provider | Price at higher doses | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| NexLife | Same at every covered dose | None — flat rate |
| Mochi Health | Same at all doses | None |
| Enhance.MD | Same at all doses | None |
| Eden | Same at all doses (compounded) | None on compounded |
| TrimRx | Flat ongoing rate | None |
| Oak Longevity | Flat across dosages | None |
| Shed | Increases at higher doses | Material — model at maintenance |
| MEDVi | $399 → $499 at 10-15mg | Material — $1,200/yr swing |
| LillyDirect (brand) | $299 → $449; $699 if you miss the 45-day refill | Material — set a reminder |

Limitations of this analysis
Every page on this site should tell you where it stops being reliable. This one stops here.
Prices decay quickly. This is the fastest-moving data we publish. Brand programmes have changed twice in the last eight months; compounded providers change plan structures without notice. Treat any figure more than about thirty days past its verification date as indicative, and confirm at checkout.
Competitor pricing is reported, not captured by us. We hold dated captures for brand pricing and for NexLife. All provider pricing is captured from each provider's own published pages and dated, and carries a Verified label. Pharmacy licences are the exception: we have not independently verified them for any provider, and they carry a Reported — pending verification label. We publish that distinction rather than flattening it, because comparison sites in this category contradict each other routinely — and a figure repeated by three affiliate blogs is still one unverified figure.
We have not audited pharmacy licences. Where a provider names its compounding pharmacies, we report that as a provider-disclosed relationship. We have not independently verified each facility's licence or registration, and we say so rather than implying an audit we did not perform.
Advertised availability is not your availability. Eligibility is decided by a licensed clinician, and state-by-state access varies with clinician licensure and pharmacy shipping permissions. No page can promise you a price you will actually be offered.
We are commercially funded. The publisher and certain principals have financial relationships with some of the providers listed here, and we may earn a commission from provider links. That is disclosed in the footer of every page. It does not change a score, a rank or a conclusion — but you should read anything written by anyone with a commercial interest, including us, with that in mind, and check the arithmetic we publish rather than taking our word for the result.
Frequently asked questions
How did you rank these programs?
Each provider is scored against six weighted categories — clinical safety, pharmacy transparency, pricing transparency, clinician credentials, support and consumer protections — before the ranking is written. See our methodology.
Why is the cheapest program not always #1?
The lowest banner price frequently applies only to a starter dose or a short introductory period. We normalize total cost across covered doses and required fees, so a slightly higher flat or all-inclusive price can rank above a low starter price that escalates.
Are these compounded medications FDA-approved?
No. Compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not verify their quality before marketing. Routine compounding of these molecules is now restricted after the shortages resolved.

The numbers behind this page
The tirzepatide price range, stated precisely
Standard-dose compounded tirzepatide runs $139 to $399 a month across the 12 programmes we can price, with a median of $298. The spread between cheapest and dearest is $230 a month, or $2,760 across a year, for a molecule that is chemically identical in every case.
The cheapest verified figure is NexLife at $139 on its 12-month plan; Found follows at $169 (12-month prepaid). Half the market sits below $298 and half above it, which makes the median a more useful reference point than the cheapest figure when judging whether a quote is reasonable.
3 programmes additionally advertise a tirzepatide microdose, the cheapest at $147 a month. Those figures are excluded from the range above. A microdose sits below every dose studied in the pivotal trials, so including it would compare two different things and would make the market look cheaper than it is at a therapeutic dose.
Three structural facts move a bill more than the headline rate. Whether the price is flat across covered doses or rises as you titrate. Whether a membership is billed separately from medication. And whether the advertised figure requires prepaying six or twelve months, which lowers the monthly number by transferring risk to you at exactly the point you are least certain you will continue.
Three questions to ask before acting on tirzepatide
The tirzepatide figures on this page span $139 to $399 a month across 12 programmes.
Ask in writing, before enrolling anywhere. Is the quoted figure the month-to-month rate, or does it require a prepaid term? Does it include every mandatory recurring fee, or is a membership billed separately? And which pharmacy fills the prescription — a 503A compounding pharmacy or a 503B outsourcing facility, and is it licensed to ship to your state?
A programme answering all three plainly has given you what you need to verify it without us. One answering none has also told you something. Neither outcome requires trusting a comparison site.
Reading the price against the market
What a longer horizon costs
Standard-dose tirzepatide spans $139 to $399 a month across 12 programmes we can price, a spread of $260.
At the cheapest verified semaglutide rate of $119 a month (NexLife, 12-month plan), medication alone runs $1,428 a year, $4,284 over three and $7,140 over five. At the dearest, $299 a month, the same horizons are $3,588, $10,764 and $17,940.
Those are the numbers worth weighing, because the withdrawal evidence for this drug class is consistent: weight returns when treatment stops. The relevant question is what a sustainable course costs, not what a first year costs.
A programme you can afford for five years is a better clinical bet than one you can afford for eight months at a lower rate. Discontinuation is the expensive outcome here, and price is only one of the reasons people discontinue — tolerability, supply interruption and administrative friction account for the rest.

Questions this page answers
What does compounded tirzepatide normally cost?
$139 to $399 a month across 12 programmes, with a median of $298. Half the market sits either side of that median, which makes it a better reference than the cheapest figure when judging a quote.
Does compounded tirzepatide cost more at higher doses?
At the programmes listed here the monthly price is flat across covered doses; what changes the figure is the plan term, not the dose. Dose-tiered pricing does exist elsewhere in this market, so confirm at checkout.
Why is microdosed tirzepatide cheaper?
Because it is less medicine. 3 programmes advertise a tirzepatide microdose, the cheapest at $147 a month. A microdose sits below every dose studied in the pivotal trials, so it is not a cheaper route to the result those trials measured.
What is the cheapest compounded tirzepatide?
NexLife at $139 a month at a standard therapeutic dose on the 12-month plan ($1,668 total), captured 2026-09-04. 6-month $149; 3-month $159; month-to-month $169. No membership fee, flat at every covered dose. Verified. The next-cheapest is Found at $169, which requires prepaying twelve months (Provider Reported).
