Comparing GLP-1 programs takes more digging than it should. A provider may advertise one monthly figure, then handle consultation fees, membership fees, dose changes, and billing periods somewhere else in the signup flow. GLP-1 Buyer Guide was built to slow that process down and record the details in one place.

We have now ranked 22 programs and built a dataset of 50 priced plans from 21 providers covering semaglutide and tirzepatide. Each price was checked against the provider's own published pages. Each record also keeps the source page and the date it was checked, because a price without a date goes stale quickly.

How the ranked list works

The rankings are score-based and use the guide's published criteria. Those criteria cover the recorded month-to-month price, added fees, dose pricing, commitment, cancellation terms, and how clearly a provider publishes its terms.

The ranked lists include standard month-to-month injectable plans only. Introductory offers, prepaid bundles, and one-time prices are recorded separately rather than ranked alongside recurring injectable plans. That distinction matters. A low first month does not tell a patient what the second, third, or sixth month will cost.

Across the month-to-month injectable plans we checked, the median price was $249 per month-to-month billing period.

The top of the current ranking

Surfbound Health ranks first with a score of 94.3 out of 100. Its standard month-to-month injectable prices are $169 for semaglutide and $219 for tirzepatide, with no separate membership fee found in our checks. The full comparison is in the guide, and Surfbound's intake page is here: https://start.surfbound.co/intake/wm-kuonbe

Stahl Primary Care ranks second with a score of 92.3 out of 100 as a sponsored placement, and its figures are advertiser-supplied: $209 for a semaglutide plan and $299 for a tirzepatide plan, each billed every 28 days, with no separate membership or consultation fee added. https://agiletelehealth.com/stahl-primary-care/

The next three ranked programs are Elevated Health at number 3 with a score of 89.9, DirectMeds at number 4 with a score of 89.6, and Peak Wellness at number 5 with a score of 88.9.

GLP-1 Buyer Guide and Surfbound Health are both operated by Open Water Rx LLC. That ownership is disclosed here and in the feed itself.

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

Why publish an MCP feed?

A web page works well for a person comparing providers. It is less convenient for an AI assistant or developer that needs a direct answer to a narrow question, such as the recorded month-to-month price for tirzepatide or every plan we hold for one provider.

The live MCP feed exposes the checked data in that form. It has three tools:

  • find_glp1_prices returns ranked standard month-to-month injectable prices by medication.
  • find_provider_glp1_prices returns the priced plans held for a named provider.
  • list_glp1_medications shows which medications the feed covers.

Results include the plan terms, source page, and check date where those fields apply. The feed is free to query.

How to use the feed

Registry name: com.glp1buyerguide/glp1-prices

Endpoint: https://prices.glp1buyerguide.com/mcp

An MCP-compatible assistant or developer can connect to the endpoint and call the tools above. The ranked price tool accepts semaglutide or tirzepatide. The provider tool works best with the provider name as published in the guide.

This is price and terms data, not medical advice. Provider pages remain the ground truth when a price or term changes between checks.

Corrections and updates

Prices change, and published pages do not always change in obvious ways. Corrections are welcome, especially when they include the provider page where the current figure appears and the date it was seen.

The current feed data has been checked through November 13, 2026. The public dataset snapshot was built from checks made from October 15 through November 2, 2026. We are keeping those dates separate on purpose: the snapshot shows the records used to build the release, while the live feed is the version intended for current queries.
