17 programs reviewed
In short: 17 online programs prescribe tirzepatide. The cheapest starts at $79 a month (Embody), the highest rated scores 85 of 100 (Big Easy Weight Loss), and 1 of 17 accept insurance. Every starting price rises as the dose does.
Almost every program below dispenses compounded tirzepatide rather than Zepbound or Mounjaro. That one fact explains most of the price gap. A compounded preparation is mixed by a pharmacy, not manufactured and reviewed as a finished product. It can cost a third as much. The recourse if something goes wrong is also different.
These are starting prices. Tirzepatide is titrated upward over months. A program that opens low and re-prices at every dose step will not be cheapest by month four. Two columns matter most: what the starting price includes, and what happens when the dose climbs.
Sorted cheapest first. The score beside each is the overall research rank, so a program that is cheap and poorly rated shows as both. Starting prices are what a program publishes to begin, and every one of them rises as the dose does.

2.5mg is where nearly everyone begins and almost nobody stays. Ask what the same program charges at 7.5mg and at 12.5mg before comparing headline figures.
There is no generic tirzepatide. A compounded preparation is a different regulatory category from Zepbound, not a cheaper version of the same approved product.
A program that names its compounding pharmacy and says whether it is 503A or 503B has told you something the ones that stay vague have not.
Yes, with a prescription. A licensed clinician has to evaluate you first, and that visit can happen by video. What differs between the programs below is whether they write for an approved product or for a compounded preparation, and what each charges once the dose climbs.
Because most online programs dispense compounded tirzepatide, which is mixed by a pharmacy rather than manufactured and reviewed as a finished product. It is a different regulatory category, not a generic version of the same medicine, and the FDA has warned about unapproved GLP-1 products sold for weight loss.
Of the programs reviewed here, the lowest published starting price is listed in the table above. Treat that figure as a starting point rather than a monthly cost: tirzepatide is titrated upward over several months and many programs re-price at each dose step.
Rarely for compounded preparations, which most plans will not reimburse. A program dispensing approved Zepbound has a better chance, and the insurance column above shows which of these accept it at all.
