Simple Online Pharmacy vs Slinic 2026: Prices Compared
Same medicine. Same manufacturer. One price that needs a subscription to reach — and one that doesn’t.
Written by Shadeia Younis MPharmS, Superintendent Pharmacist and Independent Prescriber (GPhC No. 2052119) · Slinic Clinical Team · Last updated 6 September 2026
The short answer
Slinic is cheaper than Simple at every Mounjaro dose — and cheaper than their subscription price too, without needing a subscription to get there.
Mounjaro at Slinic is £129 per pen with nothing to sign. Simple’s Pay As You Go price at the same dose is £169; even its Subscribe & Save rate of £129 is higher.

Read the Small Print: Which Price Are You Actually Comparing?
This is the single most important thing to understand before comparing these two, and it applies across every product on Simple’s site.
Every headline figure Simple advertises is a Subscribe & Save price. Its weight loss pages list Wegovy from £75, Mounjaro from £129, the Wegovy pill from £129 and Foundayo from £59 — each tagged with Subscribe & Save. Its standard Pay As You Go prices are higher across the board.
What Subscribe & Save actually involves
Per Simple’s own pages: ordering moves onto a fixed 28-day rhythm, you give seven days’ notice to make changes, the first order carries a 24% discount and subsequent eligible orders 10% off, voucher codes and refer-a-friend credit cannot be used on subscription orders, and the £4.99 delivery fee is not discounted.
Slinic — one price, no plan
- No subscription option to join or decline
- No 28-day ordering rhythm
- No notice period to change or pause
- No recurring billing to cancel
- No bundles to buy and no need to increase your dose to access the price
- Same price on order one and order fifteen
Simple — two prices, one needs a plan
- Pay As You Go available, at the higher price
- Advertised prices are the Subscribe & Save rate
- Subscription runs on a 28-day cycle
- Seven days’ notice required to change
- 24% off first order, then 10% off
- Voucher codes cannot be used on subscription orders
To be fair to Simple: none of this is hidden, and their site says plainly that there is no long-term commitment — you can leave the subscription. The point is narrower. On Mounjaro the comparison no longer turns on it: Slinic is lower than both of Simple’s price tracks at every dose. Where it still matters is Wegovy and Foundayo, where Simple’s advertised figures are subscription rates.
Mounjaro Price: Simple Online Pharmacy vs Slinic
Both of Simple’s price tracks are shown below, taken from their own published table. Slinic has a single column because there is only ever one price — and it is the lowest number in every row.
| Dose | Slinic one price, no plan |
Simple Pay As You Go |
Simple Subscribe & Save |
vs Pay As You Go |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5mg starting dose |
£129.00 | £169.00 | £129.00 | £41.00 |
| 5mg | £155.00 | £199.99 | £179.99 | £50.99 |
| 7.5mg | £206.00 | £259.99 | £233.99 | £59.99 |
| 10mg | £230.00 | £279.99 | £251.99 | £55.99 |
| 12.5mg | £247.00 | £299.99 | £269.99 | £57.99 |
| 15mg maximum dose |
£267.00 | £319.99 | £287.99 | £57.99 |
Medication prices only, from Simple’s own published price table. Both providers charge a flat £4.99 delivery per order, so it cancels out. Slinic is lower than Simple’s Pay As You Go price at every dose, and lower than its Subscribe & Save rate at every dose too — by £1 at 2.5mg rising to £33.99 at 7.5mg. See the full Mounjaro UK guide for clinical detail.
Over a year, against Simple’s standard price
Based on 12 orders at the same dose against Simple’s Pay As You Go price. Both providers charge £4.99 delivery, so it cancels out. Against Simple’s Subscribe & Save rate the annual saving is £12 to £408.
You shouldn’t have to join a subscription to get a fair price on your medicine.
One fixed price per dose — no plan to reach it
One price per dose. That is the whole pricing policy. There is no subscription, no contract and no commitment to order the following month. You will not be required to purchase bundles or increase your dose simply to access our prices. No 28-day cycle, no notice period, no discount code to hunt for, no consultation fee at checkout. What you pay on order one is what you pay on order fifteen. Compare the whole market in our cheapest Mounjaro UK 2026 guide.
Wegovy Injection Price
Simple advertises Wegovy from £75 with Subscribe & Save, or £99 Pay As You Go, at the 0.25mg starting dose. Its per-dose ladder above that point is shown on its own Wegovy page rather than in a single published table, so we have compared entry prices only rather than estimate figures we cannot verify.
Slinic publishes a fixed price at every strength, with no plan attached:
| Dose | Slinic price per pen | Simple |
|---|---|---|
| 0.25mg starting | £83.00 | £99 Pay As You Go · £75 Subscribe & Save |
| 0.5mg | £93.00 | Rises with dose; see Simple’s Wegovy page |
| 1mg | £93.00 | — |
| 1.7mg | £144.00 | — |
| 2.4mg maintenance | £196.00 | — |
Clinical detail is in our Wegovy UK guide. Order Wegovy at Slinic.
Wegovy Oral (Semaglutide Tablets)
Both providers dispense the licensed once-daily semaglutide tablet. Simple advertises the Wegovy pill from £129 — and that is its Subscribe & Save figure, so its standard rate will be higher. Slinic charges £92 at the starting dose as a standard price, with no plan and no notice period, and publishes a figure at every strength rather than a starting price alone.
| Dose | Slinic per month no plan required |
Simple |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5mg starting | £92.00 | From £129 with Subscribe & Save |
| 4mg | £104.00 | Not individually published |
| 9mg | £119.00 | Not individually published |
| 25mg maintenance | £164.00 | Not individually published |
At the starting dose Slinic is £37 a month lower than Simple’s advertised subscription figure. In the OASIS-4 trial, patients on oral semaglutide 25mg lost up to 16.6% of their body weight over 64 weeks (trial-product estimand). More in our Wegovy pill UK guide. Order Wegovy Oral.
Foundayo® (Orforglipron)
| Dose | Slinic per month no plan required |
Simple |
|---|---|---|
| 0.8mg starting dose, 30 tablets | £83.00 | From £59 with Subscribe & Save |
| 2.5mg | £93.00 | Not individually published |
| 5.5mg | £93.00 | Not individually published |
| 9mg | £112.00 | Not individually published |
| 14.5mg | £140.00 | Not individually published |
| 17.2mg maintenance | £140.00 | Not individually published |
Foundayo is the first once-daily GLP-1 tablet of its kind to reach UK pharmacies, authorised by the MHRA in August 2026. Taken as a film-coated tablet with no food or water timing restrictions. Treatment starts at 0.8mg once daily, then increases to 2.5mg after at least 30 days, with each subsequent increase also after a minimum of 30 days where clinically appropriate and tolerated. See our Foundayo doses and titration guide, the switching from Mounjaro guide and the full Foundayo guide.

Clinical Governance
Both are properly regulated, and Simple’s credentials are strong — worth stating plainly. Simple Online Healthcare Limited is a GPhC-registered pharmacy, number 9011287, based in Glasgow, LegitScript approved, with a named Superintendent Pharmacist, a Chief Clinical Officer, a GP and a dietetics team. Slinic is operated through Brierfield Late Night Pharmacy in Lancashire, a GPhC-registered (No. 1033729), NHS-contracted community pharmacy. Read more about Slinic.

| LegitScript certification | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| NHS-contracted community pharmacy | ✅ Yes | Not identified as NHS-contracted |
| SCOPE obesity certification | ✅ Clinical leadership SCOPE certified | Not identified on the public SCOPE directory |
| Named superintendent pharmacist | ✅ Shadeia Younis, GPhC 2052119, also the founder and clinical lead | ✅ Named on its site with GPhC number |
| Prescribing threshold | ✅ Within MHRA-licensed BMI thresholds | States BMI 30+, or 27+ with a weight-related condition, in line with the licence |
A note on what these markers mean. GPhC registration confirms the premises is a registered pharmacy subject to inspection. Both Mounjaro and Wegovy are MHRA-licensed regardless of which regulated UK pharmacy dispenses them — the licence sits with the medicine, not the provider. What differs is the prescribing governance around it, and the commercial terms attached to the price. See NICE guidance on tirzepatide and the licensed indications in the electronic medicines compendium.
How to Switch From Simple Online Pharmacy to Slinic
If you are on Subscribe & Save, check your next order date. Simple requires seven days’ notice to pause or cancel, so do this before your cycle rolls over. On Pay As You Go there is nothing to do.
Complete Slinic’s free assessment, noting your current dose, how long you have been on it and your recent treatment history.
Your prescriber reviews it and confirms whether your current dose remains appropriate. Assessed individually, not carried over automatically.
We may request evidence of your previous prescription or dispensing label before dispatch. If you have had a gap in treatment, read our guide on restarting after a break first. For side-effect management, see the Mounjaro side effects guide.
No plan. No cycle. No notice period.
Free assessment, reviewed by a UK prescriber. Order when you need your next supply, at the price on the page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Simple Online Pharmacy charge for Mounjaro?
Pay As You Go: £169 at 2.5mg, £199.99 at 5mg, £259.99 at 7.5mg, £279.99 at 10mg, £299.99 at 12.5mg and £319.99 at 15mg. Subscribe & Save: £129, £179.99, £233.99, £251.99, £269.99 and £287.99. Slinic charges £128 to £262 with no plan required.
Is Slinic cheaper than Simple Online Pharmacy?
On Mounjaro, yes at every dose against both price tracks. Against Pay As You Go the saving is £41 to £59.99 a pen, which is £492 to £720 a year. Against their Subscribe & Save rate Slinic is still lower at every dose, by £1 to £33.99 — without needing a subscription.
Do I have to sign up to a contract at Slinic?
No. There is no subscription option at Slinic — not one you can join, and not one you have to decline. You order when you need your next supply, at the price published on the page, with no cycle, no notice period, no bundles and no recurring billing.
Does Simple Online Pharmacy require a subscription?
Not to order — Pay As You Go is available. But the prices advertised across its site are Subscribe & Save prices, which put ordering on a 28-day rhythm with seven days’ notice to make changes.
Is Simple cheaper on Foundayo?
On the advertised figure, yes — from £59 with Subscribe & Save against Slinic’s £83. Their standard rate will be higher than £59, but we are not going to pretend the gap isn’t there.
Who is cheaper for Wegovy tablets?
Slinic. Simple advertises the Wegovy pill from £129, and that is its subscription rate. Slinic charges £92 at the starting dose with no plan, and publishes all four strengths — £92, £98, £113 and £159.
Who is cheaper for the Wegovy injection?
It depends which price you compare. Slinic’s £83 at 0.25mg is £16 below Simple’s Pay As You Go £99, but Simple’s Subscribe & Save rate of £75 is £8 below ours.
What does delivery cost at each?
Both charge a flat £4.99 per order. Simple’s own page notes the £4.99 fee is not discounted under Subscribe & Save.
How do I switch from Simple to Slinic?
Check your next Subscribe & Save order date and give the required seven days’ notice if you are on a plan. Then complete Slinic’s free assessment with your current dose and treatment history, and your prescriber will confirm whether continuing at that dose is appropriate.
Can I get Mounjaro on the NHS instead?
Possibly, depending on eligibility and where you live — the rollout is phased and prioritised by BMI and weight-related conditions. Our Mounjaro NHS 2026 guide explains the criteria and the pathway.
The Verdict
Let us be clear about what is not in dispute: both are legitimate, GPhC-registered, LegitScript-approved UK pharmacies dispensing the identical, genuine, MHRA-authorised medicine. Simple is a large and well-regarded operation — over a million patients, a 4.6 Trustpilot score from more than 48,000 reviews, a Sunday Times 100 listing and a named clinical team. The pen is the same.
On Mounjaro the comparison is now clear-cut. Slinic is lower than Simple’s Pay As You Go price at every dose, by £41 to £59.99 a pen — £492 to £720 across a year — and lower than their Subscribe & Save rate at every dose too, without asking you to join anything. Both charge £4.99 delivery, so it cancels out entirely. On Wegovy Oral, Slinic is £37 a month below Simple’s advertised figure. On the Wegovy injection, Slinic beats their standard price by £16 at the starting dose but their subscription rate is £8 below ours. On Foundayo, Simple’s advertised figure is genuinely lower than ours.
Slinic also includes a monthly clinical review with a prescriber in the price, runs a video consultation before prescribing rather than a questionnaire alone, publishes a price at every strength across all four treatments, and operates through an NHS-contracted community pharmacy with SCOPE obesity management certification, overseen by a superintendent pharmacist who is also the founder and clinical lead.
If automatic reordering suits you and Foundayo is your treatment, Simple may be the better fit. If you would rather not join a plan to get a fair price on a medicine you may be taking for years, Slinic is the stronger choice.
One price. No contract. No catch.
Mounjaro, Wegovy, Wegovy Oral and Foundayo — fixed 2026 prices from £83, with monthly clinical reviews included. Dispensed by an NHS-contracted UK pharmacy, overseen by a superintendent pharmacist with 25 years behind the counter.
