All-In Monthly Cost
Medication plus every recurring fee, at a named dose. The only figure worth comparing.
Medication plus every recurring fee, at a named dose. The only figure worth comparing.
Across the 17 programmes we price, all-in cost runs from $133 a month at the starter dose, with the cheapest first year at about $2,580 (NexLife, $215 a month at a 10 mg maintenance dose). Every figure on this page is on that same all-in basis.
All-in monthly cost = medication + any recurring fee, at a named dose, before tax and before prepaid discounts. Captured 2026-08-05. How we verify a price.

What escalating the dose does to your bill
Why medication-only pricing breaks a comparison
6 of the 17 programmes we price charge a mandatory recurring fee on top of medication. A table quoting the medication figure alone understates those programmes by the full membership, every month, for as long as you stay.
Ivim advertises from $133 and requires a $74.99 membership. Mochi is $199 plus $79. Eden is its medication price plus $99. In each case the advertised number is real and the total is what you pay.
What all-in does and does not include
It includes medication and any recurring membership or platform fee at a named dose. It excludes one-off laboratory work, expedited shipping surcharges and anything a programme bills occasionally rather than monthly — those are priced separately on their own pages, because folding irregular charges into a monthly figure would be its own distortion.
What to ask before you enrol
One question does most of the work: what will I pay in total in month six at 10 mg, including every fee? A programme that answers in one sentence has flat, all-inclusive pricing. A programme that needs three sentences has a structure worth reading carefully. A programme that cannot answer has told you something.
Then four more: which pharmacy fills the prescription, is the prescriber licensed in my state, does the quoted rate hold at renewal, and what is refundable before shipment.
Where these numbers come from
One dataset, captured 2026-08-05, with a verification status on every record. Prices we read at the provider are tagged as such; figures taken from third-party round-ups are tagged separately and treated as indicative. Where sources disagree we show the conflict rather than choosing. The whole file is downloadable.
Why this distinction changes what you pay
Every structural difference in this market resolves into money at a maintenance dose. Whether a programme charges a membership, whether it reprices with the dose, whether it demands a term, and whether it bundles or splits its charges together account for most of the gap between the cheapest tracked first year at $2,580 and the most expensive.
None of those differences is visible in an advertised headline figure, which is the reason this site exists in the form it does.
How to act on it this week
Price the dose you expect to maintain on rather than the starter dose. Add every recurring fee. Ask whether the quoted rate holds at renewal. Establish who compounds the medicine. And do not enter a prepaid term until you have held a maintenance dose for a cycle.
Those five steps take under an hour and reliably beat any amount of comparison reading, because they surface the information that comparison tables omit.
How this connects to what you will actually pay
Everything in this section resolves to one number: the all-in monthly cost at the dose you end up holding. Across the 17 programmes we price, that runs from $215 at the cheapest tracked route to several times that at the most expensive, for the identical molecule from the same category of licensed pharmacy.
6 of those programmes charge a recurring platform fee on top of medication and 11 hold one price at every strength. Those two facts explain most of the spread between advertised prices and real ones.
What we could verify and what we could not
11 of 32 tracked programmes have a price we read at the provider or manufacturer. The rest carry third-party figures we have not confirmed, or publish nothing we can interpret. Every table on this site marks which is which, and the comparison matrix lets you filter to verified prices only.
Where we have checked a third-party figure against a provider's own page, it has almost always moved — and it has moved upward. Promotional first months, prepaid bundle rates and medication-only figures that exclude memberships are all published as ongoing all-in prices. Assume an unverified figure is optimistic.
The regulatory distinction that sits under all of this
Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved. FDA does not review compounded preparations for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed. The active molecule is the same as the branded product; the pre-market review is not, and the assurance comes instead from the pharmacy, the state board that licenses it and, at good operations, batch sterility and potency testing.
That is a legitimate framework rather than a loophole, and it is also why the price is lower. It puts more of the verification burden on the patient, which is the honest trade being made.
How this component moves the total
Across the 17 priced programmes, all-in cost at a maintenance dose spans $215 to $548. Most published comparisons explain that spread as differences in the medicine. It is not: the molecule is identical and frequently comes from the same category of licensed pharmacy.
It is overhead, clinical wrap, pharmacy sourcing and margin — plus the component this page isolates, which is invisible in a single headline figure.
The comparison this makes possible
Once each component is priced separately, two programmes with the same advertised number stop looking equivalent. 6 of 17 charge a mandatory recurring fee; 11 hold one price at every dose. A programme scoring badly on both can advertise the same figure as one scoring well on both.
That is why every table here states all-in cost at a named dose rather than a headline, and why some of our figures are higher than a programme's own homepage.
What to take from this page
One number to carry into any intake conversation: what you will pay in month six at 10 mg, including every fee. On the cheapest verified route that is $215. Anything materially below that band, from anyone, deserves the question of which of the four distortions is producing it.
Why this is the only comparable figure
Isolating medication plus every recurring fee at a named dose is the only way two programmes with different structures become comparable. Without it you are ranking marketing decisions rather than costs.
The spread this produces is not marginal. All-in cost at a maintenance dose runs $215 to $548 across the 17 programmes we price — for the identical molecule, frequently from the same category of licensed pharmacy. A reader comparing headline figures would conclude the market is tighter than it is, because the most aggressive fee structures advertise the lowest numbers.
The correction is unglamorous and worth more than any negotiation: price the dose you expect to hold, add every recurring charge, and compare that figure. On the cheapest verified route it is $215 a month.
What a programme's answer here reveals
A programme that can state this component in one sentence has a simple structure and usually knows it is competitive. One that needs three sentences has a structure worth reading closely — not necessarily a worse deal, but a more conditional one.
One that cannot answer before an intake has made a commercial choice: it wants your contact details and a medical history before you can compare it against anything. That is legal and common, and it is also the reason several programmes on this site carry a page explaining why we publish no figure for them.
Get the answer in writing. Almost every dispute that appears in public complaint records for this category traces back to a number that was never put in an email.
The failure mode this section is guarding against
Choosing a programme on a number that describes a different situation than yours. An entry price when you will hold maintenance. A medication figure when a membership applies. A promotional rate when you will renew. A prepaid rate when you will pay monthly.
Each of those errors is small individually and they compound in the same direction, which is why the cheapest-looking option in most published comparisons is the one most likely to be mis-stated.
Priced correctly, the cheapest verified route sits at $215 a month all-in at a maintenance dose. Anything materially below that band deserves the question of which distortion is producing it.
Why we publish the working rather than a verdict
A single recommendation is more useful to read and less useful to act on, because it hides the weighting. Two readers with different maintenance doses, different coverage and different tolerance for commitment should not receive the same answer.
So the tables carry the inputs and the rankings state their sort key. If you disagree with our weighting, take the file and weight it differently — that is what publishing it is for.
What would make this page wrong
A price change we have not captured, a programme leaving the market, or a figure we recorded from a third party that does not survive checking. All three have happened during 2026 and all three are logged when they do.
Prices here were captured 2026-08-05. Treat anything older than a month as needing a re-check against the provider's own page, which every programme record links directly.
Where all-in monthly cost sits in the decision
Most people arrive at this market with one question — what is cheapest — and leave with a worse one, because cheapest depends on a dose nobody has chosen yet and a fee structure that is not in the advertisement.
6 of the 17 priced programmes charge a mandatory recurring fee on top of medication. 11 hold one price at every strength; the rest reprice as you climb. Those two facts reorder any ranking built on headline figures, and neither is visible without reading the terms.
The four disclosures worth insisting on
Price at the dose you will hold. The identity of the dispensing pharmacy. Whether the quoted rate survives renewal. And what is refundable before shipment.
Only 3 of 17 priced programmes publish the second, which is the one that lets you check a public state board register before injecting anything weekly. It costs a programme nothing to publish and its absence is the most reliable signal in this market.
Turning this into an email
Everything above converts into questions a programme can answer in two minutes. Anything that cannot is context rather than a check, and context does not protect you.
Send them before paying. Almost every dispute that appears in public complaint records for this category traces to a number that was never put in writing, and the programmes that reply promptly and specifically are rarely the ones patients later write about.
Open these rather than taking our word for it. Every one is a regulator, a trial registry, a label, an accreditor or the manufacturer.

Common questions
What is the cheapest all-in tirzepatide price?
$215 a month at a 10 mg maintenance dose, membership included, captured 2026-08-05.
Does all-in include shipping?
Where shipping is bundled, yes. Where a programme charges expedited shipping separately, that is listed on the shipping-fees page rather than blended in.
