Methodology
Plain rules, applied to every provider.
Sources
Every price comes from the provider's own public page and links to it with the date checked. We never estimate a price and never copy prices from other comparison sites. Where a provider's site cannot be read, the listing stays as Awaiting with no price. A price marked From search was read in the provider's own search result snippet, not on its site, and is shown in yellow until we can confirm it.
Brand medicines and compounded programs
Brand medicines (Zepbound, Wegovy, Foundayo, Mounjaro) each have their own price list by dose. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide programs are listed in a separate category, never in the same table as a brand medicine. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved: the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold. FDA rules on compounding semaglutide and tirzepatide changed after the FDA declared the national shortages of both medicines over. A compounded program is not the same as a brand product such as Wegovy or Zepbound, and its price is not directly comparable.
Fees
Where a provider charges a monthly membership or program fee on top of the medication, we show the fee separately on the program fees page and on the provider's page.
Trust signals
For each provider we note what its own site says about state-licensed clinicians, LegitScript certification, NABP accreditation or a .pharmacy domain, and the kind of pharmacy that fills the prescription (a 503A compounding pharmacy, a retail pharmacy or the manufacturer's pharmacy). We only record what we read; blank means not stated.
Discount codes
Codes appear only when the provider supplies them through a verified listing. We check every code before publishing it.
Freshness
Verified prices older than 30 days block the site from publishing until they are rechecked.
Ordering
Verified first, then lowest price. Paid placement, if ever offered, will be labeled "Sponsored" and kept outside the price order.
Not medical advice
We compare prices and public facts. Questions about whether a treatment suits you go to a licensed prescriber. For urgent help, call 911 or your local emergency number.
