Oral GLP-1s Under $200/Month: 6 Providers Compared
Published July 2026 · Last updated July 2026
Six oral GLP-1 providers currently advertise pricing under $200/mo — but "under $200" means something different for each of them once you read the fine print. Some are simple flat monthly rates. Others are quarterly bundles, first-month promos, or 4-week billing cycles dressed up to look like a monthly number. Here's what each one actually costs.
Provider

The Catch
MadeMed

Format still unconfirmed; no active link yet
Zealthy
$151/mo
Billed quarterly, not monthly
Eden Health
$149 first month
Rises to $249/mo after month one
Direct Meds
$179–$249/mo
$179 is the low end of a dose-based range
Found Health
$189 / 4-week cycle
Billed every 4 weeks, not calendar-monthly

The Straightforward Ones: MadeMed
MadeMed is the cleanest of the six — $99–$169/mo depending on dose, billed monthly, no asterisks. It's also LegitScript certified and offers an oral tirzepatide option at $229/mo if you need it (that one's over the $200 line, worth noting).
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy based on a prescription from a licensed provider.
The Quarterly Bundle: Zealthy
Zealthy's $151/mo pricing is actually billed as a 3-month package. The per-month rate is genuinely competitive, but you'll see a larger charge upfront rather than $151 hitting your card every 30 days.

The First-Month Promo: Eden Health
Eden's $149 first month is real, but it's an introductory price — the ongoing rate is $249/mo, which puts it over $200 after month one. Good for testing the product; budget for the higher recurring cost if you plan to stay on it.

The Dose-Tiered Range: Direct Meds
Direct Meds prices by dose, from $179 up to $249/mo. The $179 figure is the starting-dose price — as you titrate up, expect the monthly cost to climb within that range.

The 4-Week Cycle: Found Health
Found Health bills $189 per 4-week cycle rather than per calendar month. Over a year that works out to roughly 13 billing cycles instead of 12 — a small but real difference from a true monthly rate.

The One to Verify: Wellorithm
Wellorithm's reported $147/mo would put it near the top of this list, but we haven't confirmed the exact format directly with the provider yet, and there's no active link through our site for it currently. Worth checking directly with them before counting on this number.
How to Actually Compare
Before picking based on the sticker price, check three things: billing cadence (monthly vs. quarterly vs. 4-week), whether the quoted price is a starting dose or a maintenance dose, and whether there's a promo period that rolls into a higher recurring rate.
