GLP-1 Online Without a Membership Fee: What You Pay

Last updated November 11, 2026 · Reviewed by the Gala Health team

Two ways online GLP-1 programs charge

Membership plus medication: a monthly fee for the provider, messaging and the program, with the medication billed on top. Hims and Hers, Ro, Mochi and WeightWatchers use this model, according to their own websites, and Hims states that its listed prices are for medication only.
One plan price: the provider, the medication and shipping in a single price. Found includes medication on its compounded plans, and Gala lists all doses included with no membership fee.

Neither model is hidden, but they are hard to compare at a glance: a low membership can sit on top of an expensive medication, and a low medication price can need a membership to unlock it.

Membership fees, program by program

Program	Membership or care fee	Medication
Gala	No membership fee	Included: compounded GLP-1 from $69/mo, all doses included
Found	Plan price: cash plans from $149/mo on a 12-month plan paid up front, $269/mo on a monthly plan	Included on compounded plans
Hims and Hers	$39 first month, then $149/mo	Billed separately
Mochi	$79/mo, or $49/mo on a 12-month plan	Billed separately
Ro	$39 first month, then $149/mo, or $74/mo prepaid annually	Billed separately
WeightWatchers (Med+)	$25/mo for two months on a 12-month plan, then $74/mo (offer ends 11/14/26)	Billed separately

What a membership adds up to

With the membership model, the real monthly cost is the membership plus the medication at the dose you are on. Brand-name medication prices rise with the dose. Using the manufacturers' own self-pay prices as an example:

Example	Medication per month	Plus a $149 membership
Wegovy pill, 25 mg (NovoCare)	$299	$448
Zepbound KwikPen, 5 mg (LillyDirect)	$399	$548
Zepbound KwikPen, 10 mg to 15 mg (LillyDirect)	$699, or $449 with on-time refills	$848, or $598

Arithmetic on the manufacturers' self-pay prices checked on 2026-11-11 and a $149 monthly membership like Hims' or Ro's; a program's own medication price can differ from the manufacturer's. Over 12 months, a $149 membership alone is $1,788.

How Gala prices it: one plan, no membership

Gala's home page lists compounded GLP-1 from $69 a month with all doses included, no hidden fees and no membership fee. Compounded semaglutide starts at $69 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $99 a month, on the annual plan billed once a year. Monthly and 3-month plans are also offered, and longer plans cost less per month. Your exact price depends on your state, dose and plan, and you see it before you pay.

Included in the plan: access to your provider, your medication when it is prescribed, free shipping and ongoing support.
Same price at every dose level: if your provider raises your dose, your plan price does not change.
No separate charge for messaging your care team or for the Gala GLP-1 app.
No insurance needed; FSA and HSA cards accepted.
Cancel anytime, at least 72 hours before your next billing date; your plan runs to the end of the cycle you paid for.

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient on a provider's prescription, and according to the FDA they do not undergo premarket review for safety, effectiveness or quality. Trial results for Wegovy and Zepbound belong to those brand-name products; see compounded vs brand-name GLP-1.

Questions to ask before you pay

Is there a membership, and is it billed on top of the medication?
What will I pay at my likely maintenance dose, not only the starting dose?
Does the lowest price need a prepaid 12-month plan, and what happens if I cancel?
Are shipping, follow-up messages and dose changes included?
Is the membership FSA or HSA eligible? Hims, for example, says its medication fee is and its membership is not.
