Verbatim response from Perplexity
Compounded semaglutide is usually about $129–$500 per month depending on the provider and fees, while Wegovy is typically about $1,349 per month at list price and can be as low as $199–$349 per month through some cash-pay/savings programs for eligible patients.[1][2][3]
A practical way to compare them:
| Option | Typical monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $129–$500[1][2] |
| Wegovy, list price | about $1,349[1][3] |
| Wegovy, discounted cash/savings offers | about $199–$349 in some programs[1][3] |
So, compounded semaglutide is generally much cheaper than Wegovy at list price, but it can be similar to or slightly lower than discounted Wegovy offers depending on the pharmacy, dose, and any extra clinic or membership fees.[1][2][3]
If you want, I can also break this down by insurance vs. cash pay or compare specific compounded providers like Hims, Ro, Alloy, or Sesame.
