Best GLP-1 providers by category
This page names the leader in each category by a single published metric. It is for a reader who already knows what matters to them: the cheapest month, the cheapest year, no price step at higher doses, no commitment, or a fully disclosed pharmacy. The overall score is on the best-telehealth page.

Questions this page answers
- How is a category leader chosen?
- By one published metric, not by the overall score, from providers verified within 30 days. A category needs at least 3 verified providers before a leader is named; ties are shown as ties, and a price range that overlaps the leader's range is a tie.
- Why are there three first-year categories per medication?
- Because the labelled schedule titrates upward and the dose a patient settles on decides the year's cost. The categories price a full first year following the label to 5, 10 or 15 mg of tirzepatide (1, 1.7 or 2.4 mg of semaglutide), including every published required charge. A tiered plan that is cheapest at the starting dose can cost more than a dose-stable plan over a year that reaches 15 mg; both facts are shown.
- How is "best for brand-name medication with insurance" decided?
- Among verified providers that accept insurance for the medication (fully or partly) and do not sell compounded cash medication, the lowest programme or visit fee leads; the medication cost then depends on the member's plan and is not part of the fee.
- Can the same provider lead several categories?
- Yes, if it has the best value on several metrics. Leaders are not spread across providers for balance.
