# GLP-1 Price Freshness: How Old Published Seller Prices Are

Every GLP-1 price here carries the month it was read. This page counts how old those readings are, and what changed when the same prices were read a second time.

580 recorded prices, by the month each was read · October 2026 · 83 · September 2026 · 420 · August 2026 · 25 · July 2026 · 2 · 50 rows carry no reading date at all.

**Research, not medical advice.** This GLP is independent and educational. Nothing here is a substitute for individualized care from a licensed clinician, and reading it creates no doctor–patient relationship. Talk to your own provider before starting, stopping, or changing any medication, peptide, or therapy. See our [methodology](https://thisglp.com/methodology) and [terms](https://thisglp.com/terms).

## Key takeaways

-   580 recorded prices sit behind this site, and 50 of them carry no reading date.
-   83 were read in October 2026. The remaining 447 — 77% — are older than that.
-   When 217 of them were re-read, 217 had moved: 155 down and 62 up.
-   The median move was 13% and the largest fall was 79%.
-   A price with no reading date beside it is not a price. It is a memory.

Every figure on this site carries the month it was read, and that is not decoration. A published price in this market is a snapshot of a page that its owner can change without telling anyone, and the interval between the reading and your reading of it is the part nobody usually discloses. This page puts a number on that interval for our own data — the same instinct behind counting what sellers leave out in [what sellers will not tell you](https://thisglp.com/research/what-glp1-sellers-do-not-publish), turned around and pointed here.

## How old the corpus is

There are 580 recorded prices behind the comparisons on this site, covering 580 sellers. 50 of them carry no reading date. 83 were read in October 2026, and the remaining 447 are older. That second group is the honest weakness here, and it is stated rather than averaged away.

The oldest rows are the ones to treat most carefully. A figure read several months ago has had several months in which a promotion could end, a fee could be added, or a product could be withdrawn — and none of those produce a notification.

What a re-read actually finds

217 rows across 219 sellers have been walked a second time. 217 of them had changed: 155 downward and 62 upward. The median move was 13%, the largest fall 79% and the largest rise 131%.

The direction is the surprise. More prices came down than went up, which is not what a reader braced for inflation expects, and it is a reason to re-read rather than to assume either way. The full record of what moved is in [what happens when you read a price twice](https://thisglp.com/research/rereading-glp1-prices).

## Why the date has to be visible

A comparison site that publishes a figure without saying when it was read is asking you to trust an unstated interval. The figure may have been collected this week or last year, and nothing on the page distinguishes the two. Attaching the month is the cheapest honest thing a publisher can do, and it is the reason every price on this site carries one.

It also makes the site checkable. If a figure here is wrong, the date says which page to go and look at, and the [corrections record](https://thisglp.com/corrections) says what has already been found wrong and fixed. A claim that cannot be checked against its own source is a claim that has to be taken on faith, which is what this whole category runs on.

## What to do with this as a reader

Read the date beside any figure here, and treat an older one as a lead rather than a price — something to confirm on the seller’s own page before it decides anything. That advice applies with more force to the figures most likely to move: promotional rates, first-month offers and anything described as starting at.

The structural version of the same problem is that a headline can be true and still not be the bill, which is counted in [when the headline is not the bill](https://thisglp.com/research/glp1-advertised-vs-billed-corrections) and in [what sellers will not tell you](https://thisglp.com/research/what-glp1-sellers-do-not-publish). A fresh reading of a misleading figure is still a misleading figure.

Rereading the footnote matters as much as rereading the headline. [Hers](https://thisglp.com/reviews/hers) currently separates a required weight-loss membership from medication prices on its [homepage](https://www.forhers.com/). An old drug-only figure cannot answer the present total-cost question without the associated membership and renewal terms.

## Frequently asked

Why does a price need a date?

Because a seller can change its page without telling anyone. The interval between the reading and your reading of it is the part that decides whether a figure is still true, and it is the part most comparison sites leave unstated.

Are older figures wrong?

Not necessarily, but they are less reliable. When rows here were walked a second time, more of them had moved down than up, and the median move was substantial in both directions.

What should I do with an older reading?

Treat it as a lead rather than a price. Confirm it on the seller's own page before it decides anything, especially where the figure is promotional or described as starting at.
