How much does semaglutide cost without insurance?
Cash, at capture: verified compounded programs run $133–$348/month all-in (broad-availability floor $146 at Yucca Health↗), Wegovy runs $349 standard via NovoCare↗ ($199 two-month intro), and the oral Wegovy pill $149–$299. The compounded discount at the low end is now $203/month — thin enough that the brand comparison deserves a read before enrolling anywhere.

For orientation: the verified semaglutide field spans $133 (Oak Longevity) to $348 (LifeMD↗) per month all-in as of 2026-08-09 — a $215 spread for the same molecule, made of structure rather than chemistry — while the brand lane holds $349 at maintenance via Wegovy (NovoCare). Coverage, where a plan grants it, outranks the whole board.
The reading rules behind every number above: figures are all-in (medication plus mandatory fees) at the maintenance dose; prepaid paths are labeled as upfront commitments; stated-not-verified flags mark claims we could not capture on a provider’s own pages; and each record carries its capture date, source link, and archive link so the answer can be checked rather than trusted. Recompute anything here from the public dataset — that reproducibility, not our word, is the warranty.
One structural fact worth carrying out of this page: the spread between the cheapest and most expensive verified way to be on the same molecule now exceeds $4,584 a year — all of it structure (memberships, tiers, wrap) rather than chemistry — while the brand lane keeps cutting underneath (Zepbound vials to $449 in December 2025, the oral pill to $149 in January 2026). In a market moving that fast, the durable skill is not knowing today’s answer but knowing how to re-derive it: all-in basis, maintenance dose, dated capture, recomputable source — the four checks the methodology formalizes.
Basis for every figure: all-in monthly price (medication + mandatory fees) at the maintenance dose, captured from provider pages on the dates in the database. Not medical advice.
