Price-Per-Milligram: The Ranking Metric Most Comparison Sites Ignore
Most GLP-1 price comparisons stop at "monthly cost," which ignores that different providers use different doses to hit the same price point. Price-per-milligram is the metric that actually normalizes the comparison — and almost nobody publishes it.
Why monthly cost alone is misleading
A provider advertising $199/month at a 0.5mg starting dose is charging meaningfully more per milligram than a provider charging $199/month at a 1.0mg dose — but a simple "$199 vs. $199" comparison misses that entirely.
How to actually calculate it
Divide the monthly price by the milligrams of active medication you're actually receiving at that price point. This requires knowing both the price and the specific dose — information some providers don't make easy to find, which is itself a useful signal about transparency.
Wellorithm From $147
Publishes clear dose-and-price information, making a price-per-milligram calculation straightforward.
Care Bare Rx From $199
Confirm specific dose-at-price information directly during your evaluation for an accurate comparison.
The practical takeaway
Before assuming one provider is cheaper based on the advertised monthly number alone, ask both providers what dose that price corresponds to. The price-per-milligram comparison is what actually tells you which is the better deal.
