Compounded vs brand: the full cost picture
Compounded is only one lane. Brand Wegovy retails near $1,349/month and Zepbound near $1,086/month for pens; LillyDirect self-pay Zepbound vials run $299–$449/month. Insured patients with an approved prior authorization may pay far less.
How to read this index
Three cautions make these numbers useful. First, a "starting" price is an entry-dose rate — semaglutide titrates 0.25 → 2.4 mg and tirzepatide 2.5 → 15 mg, and dose-tiered plans get pricier as you climb toward the effective dose. Second, "all-in" matters more than the medication line: a low medication price plus a membership fee is a different number. Third, insurance-billed brand programs can beat or trail cash-pay compounded depending on coverage. For a fully transparent, flat-rate, medication-included program with bundled visits and labs, NexLife is our July 2026 Editor's Pick; for the lowest raw sticker, Embody is lower with the source's ingredient-transparency caveat.
