What we like

  • Cheapest legal path to a brand-name GLP-1 in 2026 ($25/mo with savings card for commercial insurance)
  • Direct from manufacturer — no compounding, no third-party reseller
  • Daily oral pill, no injections, no refrigeration
  • Available in all 50 states

Where points come off

  • Lower mean weight loss vs Wegovy (14.9%) and Zepbound (20.9%) — labeled-dose 11.1% per Foundayo PI
  • Requires existing prescription from a separate prescriber (LillyDirect does not write the prescription)
  • $25 savings card requires commercial insurance — Medicare and Medicaid not eligible
  • Strict empty-stomach 30-minute window may be hard for some patients to follow

The bottom line — B−

Best for: Patients with commercial insurance who want the cheapest legal brand-name GLP-1.
