About GLP Chart

Independent comparison site for US weight loss telehealth programs. We rank 25 programs against the same five criteria, re-check prices every Monday, and publish what we find. Nobody pays to be listed or to rank, and no program sees its review before it goes live.

Why this site exists

In 2024 GLP-1 prescribing through US telehealth went from a niche category to one of the fastest-growing consumer-healthcare markets in the country. Twenty-plus programs launched, each with its own pricing structure and lock-in terms, and its own idea of what “included” actually covers. Patients shopping cash-pay GLP-1 are forced to compare across formats that are deliberately incomparable. The comparison sites that existed at the time were either thinly disguised affiliate funnels that ranked whoever paid the highest commission, or were operated by the programs themselves under different brand names.

GLP Chart is the scoreboard. Every program in the chart is scored the same way against the same five criteria. We built it to be the independent GLP-1 comparison site the category was missing. We accept affiliate revenue, but the rank order is determined before we touch a partnership conversation. Programs do not see their score before we publish it. We do not change scores in response to partnership outreach.

Who runs this

John Samaras, founder and editor of GLP Chart
John Samaras
Founder and editor

John started GLP Chart after he overpaid for a GLP-1 and couldn’t get a straight answer on what any of these programs actually cost. He’s worked on it full time since 2026, from Austin, Texas, after a career in consumer-product analysis and SaaS. He owns no piece of any program on the chart, and none of them pay to be listed or to rank. The site earns affiliate commission on some links. For now the whole editorial team is him, and he’s recruiting a medical reviewer (more below).

How we verify prices

Every price on the chart is checked against the program's published pricing pages, prices checked every Monday. We read the program's own pricing page for the maintenance-dose figure, not just the headline starter rate. When a program's site blocks automated access, we confirm the published number through a web search of the program's own materials. We do not create accounts, purchase medication or make any payment to gather these numbers. We cite the published source for every price so you can check it yourself.

See the quarterly Price Index for the per-program breakdown and the unit-cost (per milligram) analysis.

How we make money

We accept affiliate commissions on outbound clicks to partner programs. The commission does not affect scoring, rank order or editorial content. Programs are not told their score before publication. We don’t sell placement or sponsored content, and a program can’t pay to be in the chart.

If you are a reader: every “Visit” link in the chart that earns us a commission is labeled with rel="sponsored"for FTC compliance and Google's link policy. You can also see the full affiliate disclosure.

Medical review (actively recruiting)

GLP Chart is editorial, not medical. We do not dispense, prescribe or fulfill medications. Everything on the site is for educational purposes.

We are actively recruiting a credentialed medical reviewer (PA, NP, RN, PharmD or MD with obesity-medicine experience) to review every drug, program and clinical-content page. When that reviewer is in place, every applicable page will carry a “Medically reviewed by” strap naming the clinician and their credential. Until then, treat clinical claims on the site as sourced and cited but not personally verified by a licensed clinician.

If you are a US-licensed obesity-medicine clinician interested in the reviewer role:
  • Scope: review and sign off on /drugs/, /program/, and clinical-content /learn/ pages. Roughly 4-8 hours per month after the initial onboarding pass.
  • Compensation: monthly retainer (commensurate with credential level) plus optional equity in the LLC for the right candidate.
  • What you get: a public byline on every page you review, a profile page on the site, and a hand in the editorial standards of the largest independent GLP-1 comparison site in the US.
  • What we ask: active US licensure, no current employment relationship with any program in the chart, willingness to put your name and credentials on the work.
  • Contact: hello@glpchart.com with your CV/CV-equivalent and a paragraph on your obesity-medicine experience.
