Compare GLP-1s side-by-side

The honest comparisons most consumer pages won't write. Real cost, real clinical data, and a recommendation for which fits which patient.

The honest answer to “where do I get a free GLP-1 sample” is rarely a free pen — it's the right combination of insurance, prior authorization, and a clinician who knows where the actual pricing levers are.

Why we exist & how we work

GLP-1 Samples started because the GLP-1 access market in 2026 is genuinely confusing, and the existing comparison sites are either advertising platforms dressed up as editorial or clinical sites that won't name pricing. We're the third option: a small editorial team that reviews every program in our pipeline against publicly disclosed pricing, names the pharmacy partners, publishes the real first-month price, and ranks programs by what actually delivers — not what the homepage banner promises.

We make money the same way every reputable comparison site makes money: affiliate commissions when readers start a consult through one of the links here. We disclose the relationship on every page; partners cannot pay for ranking position; the editorial team has independent authority to remove or downgrade any program. Reader feedback tells us when an offer changes or stops working, and we update the ranking within 24 hours when something material moves.

Common questions

Are GLP-1 samples actually free?

Mostly no, in the literal sense. Federal sampling rules route branded samples through prescribers, not patients. The closest consumer-facing equivalent is the manufacturer savings card, which can drop eligible commercially insured patients to $0–$25/month. Compounded GLP-1 programs are typically the cheapest cash-pay path at $179–$249/month. The detail depends on your insurance and which drug you're seeking.

What's the cheapest legitimate GLP-1 in 2026?

For commercially insured patients on a covered drug: the manufacturer savings card ($0–$25/month). For cash-pay patients: compounded semaglutide at $179–$349/month or LillyDirect Zepbound vials at $399/month. For federal-plan enrollees (Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Tricare) — savings cards are excluded, so compounded becomes the practical lowest-cost path.

Do I qualify for Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Mounjaro?

Wegovy and Zepbound require BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with a weight-related comorbidity. Ozempic and Mounjaro require a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. The 60-second eligibility quiz on this site walks you through your specific situation.

Which is better, Wegovy or Zepbound?

On clinical weight-loss percentage, Zepbound wins (20.9% at 15 mg vs. Wegovy's 14.9% at 2.4 mg). On cardiovascular outcomes, Wegovy has the SELECT trial data. On cash-pay cost, Zepbound's $399 LillyDirect vials beat NovoCare's $499 Wegovy. Insurance coverage usually picks for you.

Are compounded GLP-1s legal in 2026?

Yes, when prescribed by a licensed clinician for an individual patient and prepared at a state-licensed 503A or 503B pharmacy with documented clinical justification. The FDA declared semaglutide off the shortage list in early 2025 and tirzepatide off in late 2024 — broad mass-prep ended, individual prescriptions continue.

How do you rank providers?

Editor rating from editorial review × reader-verified active-offer score × pricing transparency × clinician credential verification. Rankings are earned by the provider, not the deal — affiliate commissions fund the work, they don't pick the winners.

How often is everything updated?

Programs are re-verified weekly. Pricing and offer changes get reflected within 24 hours. The live ticker at the top of the site shows the most recent verification timestamp.

Why should I trust GLP-1 Samples over a telehealth provider's own marketing?

We're not a telehealth provider. We don't prescribe, we don't take a clinical fee, and we have no incentive to push any single program. We earn affiliate commissions when you start a consult through one of the links here, but our ranking is editorial — partners cannot pay for placement.

Are the programs available in my state?

Most major programs cover all 50 states; a few exclude states with stricter telemedicine rules. Each provider page shows current state availability. The eligibility quiz filters for your state.
