Provider review
Contour Health review
A quarter dose costs about a quarter here.
The price follows the vial your weekly dose needs, and the whole ladder is published before you give anyone a name or a number. One quirk works in your favor: stepping up a dose can move you onto a bigger, longer-lasting vial and lower your monthly cost. Every figure is an estimate a clinician confirms before you pay.

In one paragraph
The verdict
Take a quarter dose here and you pay about a quarter. That is rare enough to lead with. Contour prices the vial your weekly dose needs rather than a membership, and it publishes the vial size, what the vial costs and how many weeks it lasts, so you can check the arithmetic yourself. Nothing is gated behind a quiz, an account or a phone number. One quirk is worth knowing, and it works in your favor: the ladder is not a straight line, so stepping up one increment can move you onto a larger vial that lasts longer and drop your monthly cost rather than raise it. Read the ladder rather than assuming it. Two things could still catch you. Every figure is an estimate a clinician confirms at the consultation, not a locked price. And the pharmacy that fills it is never named.

Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You have picked a low weekly dose and want the bill to follow it down.
- You want to cost the whole plan out before handing anyone your name or your phone number.
- You would rather buy a vial outright than start a subscription you later have to cancel.
- You want to see the vial size and how long it lasts, not just a monthly figure.
Look elsewhere if
- You want a binding quote. Here the figure is an estimate a clinician confirms at your consultation.
- You want to pay for one month at a time. You are buying a vial that covers weeks ahead, and stopping early leaves drug you already paid for.
- You want to know which pharmacy fills your prescription before you order. None is named.
- You need your state confirmed up front. No list of states is published.
What it actually costs
Price as published
Priced per vial, with the whole ladder published openly before any consultation. SEMAGLUTIDE: 0.25 mg/week = a 2.5 mg vial at $250, stated to last about 10 weeks, $100/month · 0.5 mg = 5 mg vial $300, $120/month · 0.75 mg = 5 mg vial $300, $180/month · 1 mg = 10 mg vial $400, $160/month · 1.25 mg = 10 mg vial $400, $200/month · 1.5 mg = 20 mg vial $600, $180/month · 1.75 mg $210/month · 2 mg $240/month · 2.25 mg $270/month · 2.5 mg = 20 mg vial $600, $300/month. TIRZEPATIDE: 1 mg/week = 10 mg vial $300, about 10 weeks, $120/month · 2 mg = 20 mg vial $500, $200/month · 2.5 mg $250/month · 3 mg $300/month · 3.5–5 mg = 40 mg vial $650 ($227.50–$325/month) · 5.5–7 mg = 60 mg vial $700 ($256.67–$326.67/month) · 7.5–9.5 mg = 90 mg vial $750 ($250–$316.67/month) · 10–15 mg = 120 mg vial $800 ($266.67–$400/month) · no subscription and no recurring charge: you buy the vial outright and the stated per-month figure is the vial price spread over the weeks it lasts · the ladder does not rise steadily — semaglutide at 1.25 mg/week is $200/month while 1.5 mg/week is $180/month, because the larger dose moves onto a 20 mg vial that lasts about 13 weeks · every figure is an "estimated cash price only", confirmed by a clinician before payment
- Vs median

- Market
- $59–$1300/mo is the full published spread in our ranking
- Structure
- Charges less for less
Publishes a named low-dose product at a lower price than its own full-dose equivalent. Taking a smaller amount genuinely costs less here, which is the structure this page is looking for.
28 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. Publishes a complete dose-to-dollars ladder for both molecules before any consultation, account or quiz: each weekly dose maps to a vial size, a vial price and the number of weeks that vial lasts, and the smallest doses cost a fraction of the largest. Because the price steps with the vial rather than the dose, the ladder is not a straight line — one increment up can move a patient onto a larger, longer-lasting vial and lower the monthly figure — but at every point taking less costs less than taking the most, which is the structure this page exists to look for. Every figure is stated as an estimate a clinician confirms before payment rather than a locked quote.

What it does well
- Publishes a complete dose-to-dollars ladder for both molecules before any quiz, account or phone call — the weekly dose, the vial size, the vial price and the weeks it lasts, all four
- A quarter dose genuinely costs about a quarter: semaglutide at 0.25 mg/week works out to $100/month against $300/month at 2.5 mg/week
- Prices the medicine by the vial rather than a membership — "Pricing is based on the vial size that matches your weekly dose — no subscription, no hidden fees"
- Nothing to cancel: you buy a vial outright rather than starting a recurring charge
- States that your exact dose, vial size and cost are confirmed by a licensed provider at a free consultation before you pay anything, rather than implying the quote is binding
- Its published averages match its own ladder rather than flattering it — the semaglutide "average monthly cost" of $160 is exactly the 1 mg/week rung
- LegitScript-certified (#33061096)

How the program works
Contour Health sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as weekly self-injections, prescribed after a free consultation and filled by unnamed 503A compounding pharmacies. There is no subscription: you buy a vial, and its own cost calculator maps every weekly dose to a vial size, a vial price and the number of weeks that vial lasts. The calculator is open to anyone — no quiz, no account, no phone number — so a low-dose plan can be costed in full before you speak to anybody. Every figure is labeled an estimated cash price that a clinician confirms at the consultation before you pay.
The honest cons
Every figure is an estimate, not a quote — "Estimated cash price only. Your exact dose, vial size, and cost are confirmed by a licensed provider at your free consult — before you pay anything"
- The ladder does not rise steadily. Semaglutide at 1.25 mg/week is $200/month while 1.5 mg/week is $180/month, because the higher dose moves onto a 20 mg vial that lasts longer — so a step up in dose can be a step down in cost, and the ladder has to be read rather than assumed
- Buying by the vial means buying weeks ahead: a 2.5 mg semaglutide vial at 0.25 mg/week is stated to last about 10 weeks, so stopping early leaves you holding drug you have already paid for
- Its two listings of tirzepatide vials disagree — the calculator prices a 10 mg vial at $300, while its weight-loss pages start the tirzepatide range at 20 mg
- No compounding pharmacy is named, only "partnerships with leading 503A accredited compounding pharmacies" — and the FDA does not accredit or designate 503A pharmacies
- No list of states served is published anywhere
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and intentional microdosing is off-label and unproven

How it compares
Contour Health is one of 373 low-dose GLP-1 programs we track, and 242 of them publish a monthly rate you can read before signing up. The ranking lists every published price on one screen, ordered with the companies that pay us first — a mechanism we state there, on the page it applies to.

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
