Willow GLP-1 Cost: What You'll Really Pay in 2026 (Every Dose)

Willow GLP-1 cost starts at $299 a month before discounts. That gets you compounded semaglutide as a weekly shot or a daily tablet that dissolves under your tongue. Compounded tirzepatide costs $399 to $549 a month, depending on your dose. The standard price covers your doctor, your medicine and shipping. There’s no membership fee on top. Willow doesn’t bill insurance, but it takes HSA and FSA cards. Prices · What’s included

Here's the catch: $299 is where the standard price starts. It isn't always where it stays. Below you'll find every dose price from Willow's own list, what 12 payments add up to, the $150 fee that only hits one kind of patient, and the cancel rule that Willow's own pages don't agree on.

"Compounded" means a pharmacy mixes the medicine for you. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality.

How much does Willow GLP-1 cost per month? (Full price list)

Willow’s regular GLP-1 prices start at $299 a month for compounded semaglutide — shots up to the 3.5 mg tier, or tablets at any strength. Compounded tirzepatide shots cost $399, $499, $524 or $549 a month depending on strength, and tirzepatide or combination tablets cost $399 or $459. These prices come from Willow's own help-center price list, checked September 23, 2026.

Here's every strength Willow lists, with its monthly price. This is a price record, not a dosing guide. A listed strength is not proof that it is appropriate for you.

Why a headline price isn't the full price list

Willow's product pages lead with starting prices. Its separate Help Center page lists the higher-price tiers too. We compared both so you don't have to mistake a starting price for a promise about every refill. Product page · Full price list

Your starting price vs. your real price

When you sign up, you need three numbers, not one:

  1. What you pay today.
  2. What your next refill costs.
  3. How often you're billed.

Willow’s Terms of Service say the total and the billing interval are shown at checkout. Write all three down before you pay.

Why the help page says “plans start at $199”

Willow's price page opens with "plans start at $199." That $199 is NAD+, a separate wellness shot. It is not a weight-loss GLP-1. The regular GLP-1 starting price on that list is $299. Separately, a qualifying $100 friend-referral discount can reduce a $299 first payment to $199. See the referral terms below.

Did Willow lower its tablet price?

A claimed $100 price cutNot established by the current price list alone

Use $299 for the current tablet budget—not an unverified savings claim. The current list tells us what Willow publishes now. It does not prove when a price changed or that every other price stayed the same.

Don't compare Willow's milligrams to Wegovy or Zepbound

Willow's strengths (like 2.125 mg or 13.5 mg) don't line up with brand-name doses. That's because compounded medicines are made by Willow's partner pharmacies and are not the same product. Your doctor picks your dose. Compare prices, not milligrams. The combination-tablet rows record Willow’s catalog; they are not a recommendation to combine semaglutide and tirzepatide.

"They are responsive, up front about pricing, and offer support when needed." — Cara H., Trustpilot review, August 10, 2026

Selected public reviews describe individual experiences. They are not a survey, a promise of typical service or evidence of medical effectiveness.


Why is Willow GLP-1 so expensive?

Willow isn’t the cheapest compounded GLP-1 program; other providers publish lower starting prices than its $299. Willow’s standard price bundles the doctor, the medicine and shipping into one monthly charge, with no separate membership fee on top. Whether that’s worth it depends on your medical needs, your full quote and how much you value monthly billing.

Let's be straight about this.

Willow does not have the lowest published starting price. If the lowest possible monthly number is your top priority, compare the full bills on our GLP-1 provider cost comparison chart.

For example, Mochi publishes compounded semaglutide from $60 plus its ongoing $79 membership: $139 before any separately charged services. Ivim lists compounded semaglutide from $75 plus a $74.99 membership: $149.99 as a monthly equivalent, with medication paid upfront. These are price examples, not recommendations or matching prescriptions. Mochi medication prices · Mochi membership · Ivim pricing

What Willow’s standard monthly plan gives you is a bundled bill without an annual prepayment. Check the total and renewal interval at checkout. You can request a stop to future renewals, but you must meet the cancellation cutoff; an order already submitted to the pharmacy is a different matter. Billing terms · Cancellation policy

Here's what's inside that one price, according to Willow:

  • Your medicine, shipped free.
  • Unlimited messages with your Willow doctor. Willow says you'll typically see the same doctor each time.
  • 24/7 care-team support; Willow says replies arrive within 24 hours. This is not a promise of live physician access at every hour.
  • Same-day assessment, as advertised by Willow, after you finish the online form.

Even some happy patients admit it costs more. One four-month patient wrote that Willow is

"a bit more expensive than other sites for GLP, I am sticking with them"

— and said the reason was fast responses and personal doctor care. (Meg T., Trustpilot review, August 12, 2026)

The honest picture from reviews: On Trustpilot, Willow scores 3.9 out of 5 from 356 reviews (September 23, 2026). About 58% are five stars and about 31% are one star. The selected reviews below describe responsive care, while some reviews describe prescription or billing concerns. We did not count every complaint or measure which was most common. Current Trustpilot profile

If the full monthly quote works for you and a clinician finds a compounded prescription appropriate, Willow’s bundled care may fit what you value.

Will my Willow price go up at a higher dose?

Yes, for some medicines. Willow's tirzepatide shot rises from $399 to $549 a month as the strength goes up, the semaglutide shot rises from $299 to $399 at the 7 mg tier, and tirzepatide tablets go from $399 to $459. Semaglutide tablets stay $299 at every strength, and Willow's Terms say it will tell you a new price before charging it.

Where the price steps happen

Willow GLP-1 cost research table 4
MedicinePrice steps
Semaglutide shot$299 → $399 (at 7 mg)
Semaglutide tabletStays $299

Tirzepatide tablet$399 → $459 (at 20 mg)
Combination tablet$399 → $459

Willow’s Terms of Service say your monthly fee can go up or down if your prescription changes, like a dose increase. They also say Willow will tell you the new amount, and get any consent the law requires, before it charges you.

What 3, 6 and 12 payments cost

If your price stays the same for each payment, here's the math:

Willow GLP-1 cost research table 5
Price per payment3 payments6 payments12 payments
$299$897$1,794$3,588
$399$1,197$2,394$4,788
$459$1,377$2,754$5,508
$499$1,497$2,994$5,988
$524$1,572$3,144$6,288
$549$1,647$3,294$6,588

Our math: Willow’s published price × number of payments. These are undiscounted budget totals, not package deals or price locks. Confirm the billing interval and days of medication supplied; 12 payments do not automatically cover 365 days.

A price change adds up fast. Say you make three payments of $399, then nine of $499. Your 12 payments total $5,688. That’s $900 more than twelve payments at $399.

Your doctor decides your dose, not your budget. These numbers show how the bill moves. They are not a treatment plan.

Already a Willow patient? Check this before your next refill

If your dose is changing, send Willow this before your processing date:

"Will this prescription change my next charge? Please confirm the new total and when it starts."

One reviewer asked why she was still paying $299 for a dose she believed was wrong. That is her report—not a finding that the prescription was incorrect. The practical point is backed by Willow’s own policy: once an order has been submitted to the pharmacy, Willow says it cannot be modified or canceled. Confirm the prescription and bill before that happens. Review · Order policy

What does Willow's price include — and what costs extra?

Willow says its standard monthly price includes the online visit, the prescribed medicine, unlimited messages with your Willow doctor, 24/7 care-team support and free shipping. Using your own pharmacy changes the bill: Willow charges a $150-a-month platform fee in that case, and you pay the other pharmacy for the medicine separately.

Willow GLP-1 cost research table 6
Included in your standard priceCan cost extraNot listed — ask first
Online visit and treatment plan$150/month platform fee if you use your own pharmacyPrice of anti-nausea medicine (ondansetron), if your doctor prescribes it
Your compounded medicineMedicine bought from an outside pharmacyLab work, if your doctor wants any
Unlimited doctor messagingNAD+ ($199), a separate product
24/7 care-team support
Free shipping (FedEx or UPS)

The $150 fee for using your own pharmacy

Willow lets you send your prescription to a pharmacy you choose. But it doesn't recommend it. Willow says most pharmacies can't make custom compounded medicines, and pharmacies can refuse the prescription.

If you go that route anyway, Willow charges a $150 monthly platform fee. Then you pay the outside pharmacy for the medicine on top of that.

Here's the math that matters: for an outside pharmacy to beat Willow's standard $299 semaglutide price, it would have to sell you the medicine for less than $149 a month. At exactly $149, the two routes tie before any other fees. Above $149, the outside route costs more; below it, it costs less. Get the outside pharmacy’s full quote rather than assuming either route wins. The platform fee is waived when using Willow’s partner pharmacy arrangement. Own-pharmacy policy

Shipping is free. Speed is a different question.

"Free 2-day shipping" starts after the pharmacy makes your order. Willow says pharmacy processing takes 2–4 business days, and delivery then takes 2–3 days. That is pharmacy processing plus transit—not a promise of arrival two days after approval. Weekends, holidays and fulfillment delays can add time. Willow’s shipping explanation

If a package gets lost or sits in heat too long, Willow says it will arrange a replacement. Contact the care team right away with your tracking number. Ask the dispensing pharmacist whether a delayed or temperature-exposed medicine is usable; do not assume a replacement policy answers that safety question. Willow FAQ


Is Willow cheaper than FDA-approved Wegovy or Zepbound?

Sometimes—not across every prescription or payment plan. Willow’s $299 semaglutide shot tier is $50 below Wegovy’s regular $349 medication-only offer, but some Willow shots cost $399 and Wegovy has a lower introductory offer. For tirzepatide and pills, check the FDA-approved option’s price and the prescriber fee together before deciding.

Here’s where a lower drug price can disappear once you add the care fee.

Important: Willow's medicines are compounded. The FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality. They are not the same products as Wegovy® or Zepbound®, and they are not generics. The tables below compare prices, not medicines or doses.

To get a brand-name drug, you need someone to prescribe it. So we priced three ways to do that: your own doctor, Ro's annual plan and Ro's monthly plan. Ro advertises the same base cash-pay medicine prices as LillyDirect and NovoCare, plus a membership: $39 for the first month, then as low as $74/month with an annual plan paid upfront, or $149/month month to month. Ro pricing

Read the annual row carefully: $74 is a monthly equivalent, not a monthly bill. The annual membership is paid upfront. The tables pair one medication fill with one month of care so you can compare the price components; they do not show your actual invoice schedule.

A branded injection fill here generally supplies 28 days, while the Wegovy pill prices cover 30 tablets. Prescriber visits, membership months and medication fills may follow different schedules. These examples exclude insurance and any extra medication-bundle discounts, including Ro’s separate Prepay & Save offers. Those discounts can change the comparison. NovoCare terms · Lilly terms

Semaglutide shot: one fill plus care

Willow GLP-1 cost research table 7
RouteFirst fill + intro careSecond fill + care equivalentLater fill + care equivalent
Willow (compounded)$299$299$299
Wegovy® + Ro annual plan, allocated monthly$238$273$423
Wegovy® + Ro monthly plan$238$348$498
Wegovy® + your own doctor$199 + applicable care costs$199 + applicable care costs$349 + applicable care costs

Wegovy pen prices from NovoCare: eligible new patients can pay $199 for each of the first two 28-day fills of the 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg starter doses through December 31, 2026. The regular offer is $349 per fill for doses up to 2.4 mg. Wegovy HD 7.2 mg is $399 and is not included in this table. Offer eligibility and refill dates matter.

A 12-payment comparison—not a calendar-year quote:

  • Willow: Twelve payments at $299 total $3,588. Confirm how many days each payment covers.
  • Wegovy + Ro annual plan: Twelve medicine fills at $199 twice and $349 ten times total $3,888. Add the initial $39 care fee and the full annual membership charge shown at checkout. Using 12 × $74 = $888 as an illustration of that prepayment gives $4,815 paid. The $888 is calculated from the advertised monthly equivalent, not a tested checkout quote; confirm the actual upfront amount. This model buys the first care month plus a further 12 months, so it also prepays care beyond the first year.
  • Wegovy + Ro monthly plan: The same twelve medicine fills plus $39 + 11 × $149 in care fees total $5,566$1,978 more than twelve $299 Willow payments, before differences in days supplied or extra charges.
  • Wegovy + your own doctor: Those twelve medicine fills total $3,888, plus applicable care costs—$300 more than twelve $299 Willow payments before those costs.

Do not count an annual plan as eleven small monthly payments after the introductory month. You must fund the full annual prepayment. All examples assume the stated prices remain available; they are not price guarantees for 2027.

Our read: Willow’s $299 injection tier is cheaper than the standard, undiscounted Ro routes shown after the Wegovy starter offer. That is a narrow price finding—not proof that Willow is cheaper at every dose, that all routes cover the same number of days, or that a compounded medicine is the right choice for you.

Tirzepatide shot: one fill plus care

Willow GLP-1 cost research table 8
RouteLowest listed price + care equivalentHighest listed price + care equivalent
Willow (compounded)$399$549
Zepbound® KwikPen + your own doctor$299 + applicable care costs$449 + applicable care costs
Zepbound® KwikPen + Ro annual plan, allocated monthly$373 ($338 with intro care)$523
Zepbound® KwikPen + Ro monthly plan$448 ($338 with intro care)$598

Current Lilly KwikPen self-pay terms list $299 at 2.5 mg, $399 at 5 mg, and $449 at 7.5–15 mg with the applicable offer. The $449 offer applies to the first eligible higher-dose purchase; continuing that offer requires refilling within 45 days of receiving the previous prescription. A fill supplies 28 days. The 2.5 mg dose is a starting dose, not a maintenance dose.

Miss the offer’s timing or eligibility conditions and the higher-dose bill can be different. Lilly lists regular KwikPen prices of $499 at 7.5 mg and $699 at 10–15 mg. The discounted prices are not unconditional price caps.

Our read: The lowest and highest published price points are close once Ro’s care fee is included: the annual-plan equivalents are $26 below Willow’s range endpoints, while the monthly-plan figures are $49 above. Without a separate telehealth membership, the discounted Zepbound endpoints are $100 below Willow’s endpoints, before your own doctor’s costs. Those are comparisons between price ranges, not matched doses or equal treatments.

Pills: one fill plus care

Wegovy® pill + Ro annual plan, allocated monthly$223 ($188 with intro care)$373
Wegovy® pill + Ro monthly plan$298 ($188 with intro care)$448

Wegovy pill prices from NovoCare: $149 at 1.5 mg, $199 at 4 mg, and $299 at 9 mg and 25 mg, for a bottle of 30 tablets. These are medication prices, not care-inclusive totals.

Willow’s tablet dissolves under the tongue. The FDA-approved Wegovy pill is swallowed whole. They are different formulations; this price table does not establish equal absorption, results or safety. Willow FAQ · Wegovy instructions

Our read: Compare the prescription and care fee together. At the lowest listed Wegovy pill price, the modeled Ro totals are below Willow’s $299; at $299 for the brand medication, adding a Ro membership makes the total higher. The middle tier depends on the care plan. We did not establish whether tablet complaints are more common than injection complaints, and online reviews cannot prove either formulation’s effectiveness.

One difference that can change everything: who qualifies

Willow's published eligibility list doesn't give a BMI cutoff. That does not mean it has no medical criteria—or that it is a workaround when a branded medicine is unsuitable. For weight management, branded treatments have their own obesity or overweight-with-related-condition criteria, and a prescriber must confirm whether a specific drug fits you. FDA’s guidance also limits compounding to patients whose needs cannot be met by an approved drug. Willow eligibility · Wegovy indications · FDA guidance

If FDA-approved Zepbound or the Wegovy pill is what you'd rather have, check Ro's price for your dose. Ro also offers a free GLP-1 insurance coverage checker. It does not guarantee coverage.

See Ro’s Current Medication & Membership Prices → Get started for $39, then as low as $74/month with annual plan paid upfront. Medicine is billed separately; manufacturer-offer eligibility, formulation and refill rules apply.

Prefer a different FDA-approved route? Sesame Care is another option, with its own pricing.


Does insurance cover Willow GLP-1? (Plus HSA, FSA and discounts)

Willow is a self-pay service: it doesn’t bill insurance, and its August 14, 2026 Terms say patients agree not to submit claims to insurers. An older help article discusses reimbursement, so the documents conflict. Willow accepts HSA and FSA cards and offers receipts, but tax savings depend on qualified expenses and your own benefits—not just whether a card goes through.

Insurance: don't count on it

Willow's own documents disagree here:

Willow GLP-1 cost research table 10
Willow documentWhat it says
Help article (Oct 15, 2025)Willow doesn't bill insurance, but many patients use HSA/FSA or get reimbursed by their insurer.
Terms of Service (updated Aug 14, 2026)No one will file claims for you, and you agree not to submit claims to any insurer or government plan.

The newer document is the Terms you agree to. And even the older help article says Willow can’t give insurers additional requested paperwork beyond its HSA/FSA receipt. So budget as if insurance pays $0, and get written clarification before relying on reimbursement. Willow Terms · Receipt and reimbursement article

HSA and FSA: tax savings, not a lower Willow bill

An HSA (health savings account) or FSA (flexible spending account) holds money you set aside before taxes for medical costs. Willow accepts both cards at checkout.

Your card still pays the full bill. The potential saving comes from taxes you do not pay on qualifying contributions. Here is one example using a qualifying employer payroll arrangement, with the whole expense eligible and the full 7.65% employee payroll-tax saving applying:

Willow GLP-1 cost research table 11
Willow billIllustrative take-home cost: 12% federal bracket + 7.65% payroll taxIllustrative take-home cost: 22% federal bracket + 7.65% payroll tax
$299about $240about $210
$399about $321about $281
$549about $441about $386

Our math: bill × (1 − federal income-tax rate − 7.65%), rounded to the nearest dollar. This example applies only when the full expense qualifies, you have enough eligible funds, and the payroll-tax assumptions fit. Direct HSA contributions outside payroll do not automatically save payroll tax; earnings above the Social Security wage base can also change the result. State tax is not included. This is an illustration, not a personal tax estimate. IRS Publication 969 · IRS payroll-tax explanation

IRS rules generally treat prescription medicine and weight-loss treatment for a doctor-diagnosed disease, such as obesity, as qualified medical expenses. Check the tax rules and your benefit administrator’s documentation requirements before paying; card acceptance alone does not settle eligibility. IRS medical-expense guidance

How to get your Willow HSA receipt: Log in to your Willow patient portal → click the menu under your name (top right) → choose Insurance → click Download next to HSA Receipt → pick the year.

Heads up: Your benefit administrator may ask for a letter of medical necessity (a note from a doctor explaining the medical need). Willow’s help article limits additional documents requested by insurance companies; it does not clearly settle whether your clinician can supply the letter your HSA/FSA administrator needs. Ask both Willow and your administrator before you pay. Willow’s documentation policy

Promo codes and first-month deals

Willow publishes a $100 friend-referral offer. Its Help Center says an existing patient can share a referral link, and a new patient using that link should see a $100-off banner during onboarding and the discount at checkout. The referrer also receives a $100 credit for a successful referral. Willow’s referral program

Our math: A confirmed $100 discount would reduce a $299 first bill to $199, or a $399 first bill to $299. It does not reduce every future payment.

We verified the published offer, not a redeemed checkout. Our affiliate links are not presented as friend-referral links and do not promise this discount. Use the qualifying patient link and confirm the banner and final total before paying. Do not assume a random coupon code—or a different link—will produce the same offer.

Money tight? Ask about pausing

One patient wrote that she had to pause her account for six months during a tough financial stretch, and "it was quick and easy to do so." (Sara, Trustpilot review, September 3, 2026)

We did not verify a formal pause policy in the documents reviewed. Ask the care team how a pause works, whether it stops your next charge and what happens to an order already processing.

What not to do

Don’t change your dose or stretch your medicine on your own to save money. Your dose is a medical decision. Talk to your Willow doctor about your budget instead.


Can I cancel Willow before my next charge?

Yes, but timing matters. Willow’s own pages give different deadlines—two business days or two calendar days before processing, or two calendar days before shipping. Ask Willow to confirm the exact cutoff in writing, and act early. Its cancellation policy says an order cannot be changed or canceled once submitted to the pharmacy.

Use the processing date Willow confirms—not an estimated shipping or delivery date—to plan your cancellation request. Also ask whether the order has already been submitted to the pharmacy.

The Cancel Clock: four Willow documents, four slightly different rules

Willow GLP-1 cost research table 12
Willow documentHow to cancelDeadline

Terms of Service (Aug 14, 2026)Log in to your account pageAs set in Willow's "Subscription Policy" (we couldn't find it published)

Our early cancellation checklist, in three steps

  1. Find your next processing date in your Willow portal, then ask the care team for the exact cancellation cutoff, time and time zone.
  2. Use the account’s cancellation option if available and send a message to the care team. Aim for at least 3 business days before processing as an early reminder, not a guaranteed deadline; allow more time for holidays or unclear dates.
  3. Save screenshots and get written confirmation that future renewals are stopped.

The three-business-day target is our planning buffer, not a deadline confirmed by Willow. A changed processing date, holiday or order already submitted can still change what is possible.

Why it matters: Willow says a late cancellation takes effect in the next cycle. That can leave you responsible for the current order at your quoted price. Stopping future renewals does not automatically undo a pharmacy order. Cancellation policy

Stopping future refills vs. canceling this month's order

After the pharmacy makes it?Future renewals still need to be canceled separatelyThe refund article says compounded medication cannot be returned, canceled or refunded once compounded

What if Willow doesn't approve you?

Willow’s Terms say that if a doctor doesn’t prescribe, Willow declines the order and returns your payment the same way you paid, even if the order was already accepted.

What real patients ran into

The review we verified describes a patient worried that a shipment contained a prescription she had questioned. The confirmed policy problem is enough to act on: Willow’s documents use different cutoff wording, and a message after pharmacy submission may be too late. Review · Cancellation policy

Is Willow GLP-1 worth it? Check these 7 things first

Willow can be worth considering if its full monthly quote works for you and your clinician identifies a need for a compounded prescription. The $299 price is not flat across every semaglutide injection tier. For tirzepatide or tablets, compare the relevant FDA-approved route too. Before paying, get your exact price, renewal date and cancel cutoff in writing.

What your money actually buys

  • A U.S. telehealth company: Willow Health Services, Inc., based in Houston, Texas. Willow says more than 100,000 patients have used it.
  • Licensed doctors who review your health history and write your prescription if it's appropriate.
  • Five named partner pharmacies, listed in Willow’s Terms: Red Rock Home Pharmacy (Springville, UT), Epiq Pharmacy (Richardson, TX), Absolute Pharmacy (Lutz, FL), The Pharmacy Hub (Miami, FL) and Empower Pharmacy (Houston, TX). Want to check a pharmacy yourself? Here are the questions to confirm before paying.

What Willow no longer claims

In December 2025, the National Advertising Division (NAD — an industry group that reviews ad claims) said Willow hadn't backed up certain ad claims for its compounded semaglutide and should stop or change them. Willow first disagreed, and NAD referred the matter to regulators. In July 2026, after talks with the FTC, Willow told NAD it had permanently dropped the challenged claims. Those included claims that its products were proven to support weight loss, gave results comparable to FDA-approved semaglutide, or worked without diet or exercise. December 2025 NAD decision · July 2026 reopened matter

What that means for your wallet: Consider Willow only when the prescription is medically appropriate and the price, service and access fit you. Not because of results promises the company itself has withdrawn. Today, Willow’s own site states plainly that its compounded medicines are not FDA-approved and are not brand-equivalent.

What reviewers say about the value

These are different review pools, not a like-for-like test of care quality. Neither score proves medical results. Willow replies to negative Trustpilot reviews, but we did not independently verify the incidents or calculate complaint rates by treatment. Trustpilot snapshot · Willow’s own display

Could Willow's price change later?

Yes. Willow’s Terms allow price changes, including changes tied to your prescription, with the stated notice and consent requirements. On April 30, 2026, the FDA proposed excluding semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide from the 503B bulks list—the list relevant to certain bulk-ingredient compounding by outsourcing facilities. That proposal is not a blanket ruling about every compounded prescription, and it does not establish a price or supply change at Willow. A medical reason specific to you for a compounded prescription still matters. Willow Terms · FDA proposal · FDA policy status

How did we check Willow’s prices?

On September 23, 2026, the WPG Research Team read Willow's own price list, FAQ, Terms of Service, consent form and help articles, and priced FDA-approved options directly from NovoCare, Lilly and Ro. We did not buy a Willow plan or test treatment. Every price on this page links back to where it came from.

What we verified, and where:

What we did not verify: a paid checkout, a refund, the price of add-ons like anti-nausea medicine, a formal pause policy, a redeemed referral discount, the exact annual-plan charge on a patient’s Ro checkout, a July 9 Willow price snapshot, or which pharmacy fills any one person’s order.

How we did the math: Willow totals multiply the published price by the number of payments. Price-change examples add the payments at each rate. The own-pharmacy break-even subtracts the $150 platform fee from the standard $299 Willow price. Brand tables combine one medicine fill with one month of care; annual membership figures are monthly equivalents, while the prepayment example separately shows cash required. We don’t estimate how long anyone stays on treatment.

These are our calculations and cross-document checks. The underlying prices and policies are the providers’ published facts—not firsthand treatment results.

Why this page exists: Willow's full price list is hard to find, and its cancel and insurance rules conflict across its own documents. We put it all in one place so you can budget before you buy.

How we make money: We may earn a commission when readers sign up through an affiliate link. We do not add a fee for using this page. Offers can differ by link, and our Willow link does not promise the patient-referral discount. Earning a commission does not stop us from showing when another route costs less, as you saw above.

Willow GLP-1 cost: quick answers

Willow’s standard GLP-1 prices start at $299, but your exact treatment, renewal terms and any verified discount set the bill. These answers separate the published price from the parts you still need to confirm.

How much does Willow GLP-1 cost per month?

Willow’s regular price starts at $299 a month for compounded semaglutide; the listed 7 mg injection tier is $399. Tirzepatide shots cost $399 to $549, and tirzepatide and combination tablets cost $399 or $459. Prices were checked on Willow’s own list September 23, 2026.

Is Willow GLP-1 $299 at every dose?

Only for semaglutide tablets. Semaglutide shots are $299 up to the 3.5 mg tier and $399 at 7 mg. Tirzepatide costs more as the dose goes up. Willow price list

How much is Willow tirzepatide?

Willow's compounded tirzepatide shot costs $399 at its three lowest strengths, then $499, $524 and $549 at higher strengths. Tirzepatide tablets cost $399 or $459. Willow price list

How much are Willow's GLP-1 tablets?

The semaglutide tablet costs $299 a month at every strength. Tirzepatide tablets and semaglutide-tirzepatide combination tablets cost $399 or $459 a month. Willow price list

Does Willow have a membership fee?

There is no separate membership fee added to Willow’s standard medication-inclusive price. Using an outside pharmacy is a different arrangement: Willow publishes a $150 monthly platform fee, and you pay the pharmacy for medication separately. Fee policy

Does insurance cover Willow GLP-1?

Willow does not bill insurance, and its Terms say patients agree not to submit insurer claims. Its help article discusses reimbursement, so the documents conflict. Budget as if insurance pays nothing unless that conflict is resolved for you in writing. Terms · Help article

Can I use my HSA or FSA at Willow?

Willow says it accepts HSA and FSA cards and offers a downloadable receipt. Confirm that the expense qualifies and ask what paperwork your benefits administrator needs; Willow’s published limit on extra insurer documents does not clearly answer every HSA/FSA letter request. Receipt policy

Is there a Willow promo code or first-month discount?

Willow publishes a $100 friend-referral offer. A qualifying patient referral link should show the discount during onboarding and checkout; it is not promised through our affiliate links. Confirm the final price before paying. Referral terms

Do I pay if Willow doesn't approve me?

Willow’s Terms say that if a doctor does not prescribe, Willow declines the order and returns your payment through the original payment method. That is its written policy, not a refund we tested. Payment terms

How do I cancel Willow without another charge?

Ask Willow for the exact processing date and cancellation cutoff, use its available cancellation method, message the care team and save confirmation. Three business days early is our reminder target—not a guarantee. The cancellation policy says an order cannot be changed or canceled after pharmacy submission. Cancellation policy

Is Willow cheaper than Zepbound or Wegovy?

It depends on your prescription, the current offer and care fees. Willow’s $299 shot tier is below Wegovy’s regular $349 drug-only offer, but Wegovy’s introductory offer is lower and some Willow shots are $399. For tirzepatide and tablets, use the fill-plus-care tables above; a lower drug price alone does not settle the full bill.

Can I use my own pharmacy to save money?

Only if the full outside-pharmacy quote makes the math work. Against Willow’s standard $299 semaglutide plan, medication plus any extra pharmacy fees would need to cost less than $149 after allowing for Willow’s $150 platform fee. Confirm the pharmacy can fill the prescription. Own-pharmacy policy

What states is Willow available in?

Willow serves 36 states. It doesn't serve Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia or Washington, D.C.
