Rxely vs. Zepbound self-pay
At 2.5 mg, Lilly charges $299 for a self-pay month. Ours begins at $89. From there, Lilly's KwikPen price steps up to $399, then $499, then $699 a month from 10 mg on.
Your Rxely plan price for your dose appears at checkout, so you see the number before you commit.
Your first three months, priced out
Zepbound's label starts adults at 2.5 mg and allows a step up in 2.5 mg increments after at least four weeks (prescribing information). If a self-pay buyer stepped up on that schedule, Lilly's KwikPen prices would run $299, then $399, then $499: $1,197 before month four.
Your own schedule may move slower. Dose changes at Rxely go through your clinician during online check-ins.
What sets the price
- Your dose. A higher weekly dose can mean a bigger bill.
- Pen or vial. Lilly prices its single-dose pen apart from the KwikPen and vials.
- Supply length. To compare plans of different lengths, divide each total by the number of weeks it covers.
- Add-ons. Visits, follow-ups and shipping may be billed separately by some providers.

Is there a generic tirzepatide?
No. The only brand-name tirzepatide products are Lilly's Zepbound and Mounjaro, and no generic version is sold. Shoppers looking to spend less usually weigh LillyDirect against a telehealth practice offering compounded tirzepatide, such as ours.
For a closer look at what that price covers and how to weigh other quotes, read our compounded tirzepatide cost guide.
