What each puts on the record: WeightWatchers Clinic

  • Med+ membership advertised at $25/month for the first two months on a 12-month plan.
  • Membership then continues at $74/month on the 12-month plan or $84/month on the 6-month plan.
  • The cost of GLP-1 medication is not included in the membership.
  • All-in monthly cost commonly reported between $199 and $449 or more depending on medication and coverage.
  • Offers an insurance cost estimator and savings-card support for branded medication.

Where it wins: The behaviour-change programme behind it is the most established in the category. Watch for: The $25/month headline is two months on a twelve-month contract, and it buys no medication at all.

What each puts on the record: Lemonaid Health

  • GLP-1 programmes advertised from $129/month.
  • Membership is $49/month after the first month.
  • Compounded tirzepatide: $299/month monthly, $249/month on a 3-month plan, $229/month on a 6-month plan.
  • A compounded tirzepatide microdose tier is listed at $199/month.
  • Medication is billed separately from the membership.

Where it wins: Multi-month plans cut the medication price substantially. Watch for: Add $49/month to every price you are quoted. The advertised $129 is a programme floor, not the injection cost.
