Online GLP-1 weight-loss programs, compared
Every program below uses licensed clinicians who decide whether you qualify. They differ in which medications they offer, how much support you get, and how they charge.
Prices change often and depend on medication, dose and insurance. We show each program's current price on its own site rather than a number that may be stale. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
| Program | Medication options | Best for | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hims & Hers | FDA-approved branded drugs; compounded options where a clinician finds them appropriate | People who want one app for prescriptions and refills | Overview |
| Noom Med | Clinician-prescribed medication alongside Noom's behavior-change program | People who want coaching and habits, not just a prescription | Overview |
| PlushCare | Branded medications through a telehealth primary-care practice; can work with insurance | People who want a regular doctor and to try insurance first | Overview |
How to choose
- Check insurance first. If your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, a program that handles prior authorization can save you the most money.
- Decide on branded or compounded. Read our explainer before choosing a compounded option. It isn't FDA-approved, and its quality depends on the pharmacy that makes it.
- Look at what's included. Ongoing clinician messaging, lab orders, dose adjustments and nutrition support vary a lot between programs.
- Read the cancellation terms. Many programs bill monthly or require a multi-month plan. Know how to stop before you start.
Red flags
- No clinician visit, or a quiz that approves everyone.
- A compounded product described as "the same as" Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound.
- Claims that a pharmacy is "FDA-approved." Pharmacies aren't approved by the FDA. See the FDA warning letter to Altru Telehealth, June 8, 2026.
- Peptides or GLP-1s sold "for research use only." Those products aren't for people.
