# TelosRX vs LeanMeds: GLP-1 Weight Loss Compared **By TelosRX Editorial Team** ยท 2026-08-18 LeanMeds advertises the cheapest GLP-1 online at a flat price that never goes up. We went and checked, and on injectable pricing the claim largely holds: LeanMeds is cheaper than telos rx on both semaglutide and tirzepatide. This article says so plainly, explains where the two companies genuinely differ, and flags one thing on their homepage that deserves a closer look. The short answer If your only criterion is the lowest monthly price on an injectable, LeanMeds beats us: $79 against our $99 on semaglutide, and $109 against our $139 on tirzepatide. What they do not offer is a needle-free or a microdosed option, which is where telos rx has something they cannot match at any price.

Compounded tirzepatide is $109 monthly, $105 on three, $100 on six and $95 on twelve. Both figures undercut our published $99 and $139. A comparison article that buried that would not be worth reading. If the cheapest possible injectable is what you are after, you should look at LeanMeds seriously. What follows is the rest of the picture, because monthly price is not the only thing that separates two providers. Product LeanMeds telos rx Compounded semaglutide **$79/month** ($69 on 12 months) From $99/month Compounded tirzepatide **$109/month** ($95 on 12 months) From $139/month Needle-free oral tirzepatide Not offered **From $129/month** Microdosed tirzepatide Not offered **From $116/month** Peptides and hormone therapy Not offered Sermorelin, NAD+, PT-141 and more Dispensing pharmacies named publicly Yes, all four with addresses Disclosed in our FAQ "Not FDA approved" stated Yes, clearly Yes, on every product page Figures for both companies reflect publicly published pricing as of this article's publish date and are subject to change. ## What LeanMeds does better than most of this industry Two things stand out, and both are unusual enough to name. First, they name their pharmacies. Their FAQ lists all four by name, street address and phone number: RedRock Pharmacy in Utah, Health Warehouse in Kentucky, Precision Medicine in New York and Triad Rx in Alabama. Very few telehealth companies will tell you who actually compounds your medication. It lets you check a pharmacy's licensure with its state board yourself, which is a real consumer protection. Second, their compliance language is direct. They state that compounded medications are not FDA approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality, and that the weight loss figures on the site come from self-reported member data rather than clinical trials. That is more candid than several better-known competitors. ## The countdown next to the words "never goes up" The LeanMeds homepage headline reads "Lowest Price. Same Price Every Month For Life," with "No hassle, no gimmick, no price hike" underneath. Directly below that sits a live countdown clock reading "Price increases in" followed by days, hours, minutes and seconds. There is a reading where both are true. The promise is presumably that once you enrol, your own rate is locked for as long as you stay, while the promotional entry rate available to new customers expires when the timer runs out. That is a normal way to run pricing and it is not dishonest. It is worth understanding, though, because the two messages sit inches apart and the page does not explain the distinction. A countdown clock is a pressure device. If you are making a medical decision, it is reasonable to take the time you need and check whether the timer resets tomorrow before letting it hurry you. Separately, the search ad we followed pointed at a page that returns a 404, so the advertised $79 landing page was not reachable when we looked. ## One phrase in the calculator Their weight calculator returns a figure under the heading "YOU COULD EASILY LOSE," and at a starting weight of 305 pounds it suggests 46 pounds. LeanMeds does disclaim it, noting it is an estimate rather than a prediction and that actual results depend on clinical factors. The disclaimer is doing the right work, but the word "easily" is doing a lot of work too. Nothing about GLP-1 treatment is reliably easy, and the people for whom it is hardest are the ones a number like that can most mislead. > If price is the deciding factor and you want an injectable, LeanMeds is cheaper. If you want to avoid needles entirely, or start on a microdose, they do not sell that at any price. ## Where telos rx is genuinely different The gap is delivery format and breadth, not price. LeanMeds sells two products: injectable semaglutide and injectable tirzepatide. If needles are the thing standing between you and starting, they have no answer for that. telos rx offers oral tirzepatide at $129 a month with no needle involved, and a microdosed tirzepatide at $116 for people who want to begin gently or who have struggled with side effects at standard doses. telos rx also covers peptide and hormone therapy, including sermorelin, NAD+ and PT-141, so one provider and one intake can cover more than weight. Whether that breadth is worth $20 a month to you is a fair question, and the honest answer is that for plenty of people it will not be. ## Frequently asked questions Is LeanMeds cheaper than telos rx? On injectables, yes. LeanMeds lists compounded semaglutide at $79 a month against our $99, and compounded tirzepatide at $109 against our $139, with lower rates on longer commitments. They do not offer an oral or microdosed option, so on those there is nothing to compare. Does the LeanMeds price really never increase? Their headline says the price stays the same every month for life, while a countdown on the same screen says the price increases shortly. The likely explanation is that enrolled members keep their rate while the promotional rate for new customers expires, but the page does not spell that out. Worth confirming with them before enrolling. Which pharmacies does LeanMeds use? They publish all four: RedRock Pharmacy in St. George, Utah; Health Warehouse in Florence, Kentucky; Precision Medicine in Bellmore, New York; and Triad Rx in Daphne, Alabama. Naming them is a genuine transparency point in their favour. Does LeanMeds offer a needle-free GLP-1? No. Their catalogue is injectable semaglutide and injectable tirzepatide only. telos rx offers oral tirzepatide from $129 a month for people who want to avoid injections. Are either company's medications FDA-approved? No. Both companies sell compounded preparations, which are not FDA-approved and are not evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality. Both state this on their sites, and it applies equally to whichever you choose. Compounded medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, are not FDA-approved. A prescription requires review and approval by a licensed provider, approval is not guaranteed, and individual results vary. Pricing and site details for both companies reflect publicly available information as of this article's publish date and are subject to change.
