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.
