Semaglutide vs tirzepatide: what online clinics charge for each.

Peptide Chooser editorial team. Checked 2 Nov 2026.

Short answer

At the online clinics we track, the monthly plans start at: Wegovy from $1491, Zepbound from $2992, compounded semaglutide from $603 and compounded tirzepatide from $904. Wegovy and Zepbound are FDA approved for weight management; Ozempic and Mounjaro are approved for type 2 diabetes.5678 Compounded copies are not FDA approved.9

What are semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Both act on the body's receptors for gut hormones. Semaglutide acts on one, the GLP-1 receptor;7 tirzepatide acts on two, the GIP and GLP-1 receptors.8

Each is sold under more than one brand name: semaglutide as Ozempic, Rybelsus and Wegovy, tirzepatide as Mounjaro and Zepbound.1011

Which brands are approved for weight loss?

  • Wegovy (semaglutide): to reduce excess body weight and keep it off in adults with obesity, or with overweight and a weight-related condition, and to lower the risk of heart attack and stroke in some adults.5
  • Zepbound (tirzepatide): to reduce excess body weight and keep it off in the same groups, and to treat moderate to severe sleep apnea in adults with obesity.6
  • Ozempic (semaglutide): for blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, and to lower heart risk in some of them.7
  • Mounjaro (tirzepatide): for blood sugar in adults and children aged 10 and over with type 2 diabetes.8

Some clinics sell Ozempic plans too, as the table below shows. The label tells you what the FDA approved each brand for.

A clinic with an FDA warning letter is still listed; the chip opens our letters page. Prices are the clinics' published monthly prices; "from" prices are the lowest shown.

What does the care fee add?

Under each price is the clinic's care fee: "all-in" when the price includes the prescriber and check-ins, a monthly amount when it is charged on top, or "care fee not known" when the clinic's page did not say. 8 of the plans above add a fee on top. Add it before you compare two plans.

What does the price not tell you?

  • Whether the price goes up as the dose goes up. Ask the clinic.
  • For a compounded plan, which pharmacy makes it. The FDA does not check a compounded medicine before it is sold.9
  • Whether a compounded semaglutide is a salt form, which the FDA says is a different ingredient from the one in the approved drugs.30

Our guides on compounded semaglutide prices and compounded vs brand GLP-1 go further. None of this is medical advice; your prescriber can tell you which medicine fits you.
