- Licensing & trust
- 63/100 on the scored dimension of that name — one of the six in our published methodology.
Checks out as far as the figures go, with one caveat: every price Arc-1 publishes carries a condition, so the number on the site is not the monthly bill.
What does Arc-1 cost?
Each figure exactly as Arc-1 publishes it, with the condition attached to it spelled out.
Semaglutide
$200/mo (0.5 mg dose, compounded)
That is a starting figure, not the price at every dose: $200 a month is the lowest rung, and the cost rises from there.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for semaglutide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.
Tirzepatide
$200/mo (2.5 mg dose, compounded)
That is a starting figure, not the price at every dose: $200 a month is the lowest rung, and the cost rises from there.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for tirzepatide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.

Weigh Arc-1 against the full ranked field on the best semaglutide providers ranking, or line it up against its closest alternatives. Or go one-on-one: Arc-1 vs CoreAge Rx. Because Arc-1 dispenses compounded medication, it’s worth understanding whether compounded GLP-1 is legit and safe.
