If you are choosing a GLP-1 or telehealth referral program in 2026, the single most important question is not "how big is the payout." It is "how does the payout work." Across the programs below, the real divide is between recurring-lifetime pay and a one-time CPA that expires on a short or undisclosed cookie. MedStands is the recurring-lifetime option: it pays a fixed marketing fee of $36 to $260 per active referred customer per month, set by the medication category, paid to your bank every month for as long as that referral keeps using the platform. Most other programs on this list pay once, at signup, and then the relationship ends.
That difference compounds. A one-time CPA rewards the moment of signup. A recurring fee rewards retention, month after month, for the life of the customer. Below is the full field, with the facts we could verify, so you can decide for yourself.

| Everlywell | One-time per sale (network, FlexOffers) | Flat $4 (listed) | 30-day cookie | Not stated | Not stated |
| Calibrate | No standing affiliate program (confirmed) | Customer referral credit reported at $15 per referral | Not applicable | Not applicable | Capped $75/year (reported) |
| Ivim Health | Not an affiliate program (confirmed) | Customer referral credit "give $75 get $75" | Active members only | Not applicable | Capped 12/year |
| Mochi Health | Affiliate/partner program exists | Terms: Not publicly disclosed (given after you apply) | Not publicly disclosed | Not stated | Not stated |
A few things worth reading twice. Several "GLP-1 affiliate programs" are actually customer referral credits, not standing affiliate programs: Calibrate's is reported as a limited-time offer with a $75/year cap, and Ivim Health's is an active-members-only credit capped at 12 per year. Neither is a program you join to earn recurring income. And WeightWatchers / Sequence is a common surprise: the confirmed Impact program pays $10 one-time on core WW membership, but the GLP-1 WW Clinic / Sequence product is excluded from the referral, with no separate GLP-1 affiliate incentive.
Other programs with public terms
These programs publish affiliate terms through networks or their own pages. All are reported or listed one-time CPAs unless noted, and figures should be read as "as listed."
| Program | Payment model | How much |
|---|---|---|
| Maximus | One-time CPA (listed, FlexOffers) | $20 per online sale |
| Strut Health | One-time CPA (listed, FlexOffers) | $20 per online sale |
| Marek Health | One-time CPA (listed, FlexOffers) | $20 per online checkout, $4 per lead |
| Willow | One-time CPA (brand's page) | $30 |
| IVY RX | One-time CPA (brand's page) | $100 per GLP-1 sale |
| bmiMD | One-time CPA (listed, Awin) | $50 per paid signup |
| Alan Meds | One-time per sale (listed, FlexOffers) | $16 to $60 by SKU |
| Wisp | One-time CPA (brand's page) | $5 new user / $2 returning |
| Winona (menopause/HRT, not weight-loss) | Percentage commission (brand's page) | 15% to 30% for top affiliates |
Winona is the one percentage-based entry here, and it is a menopause and HRT brand rather than a weight-loss program, so it is included for completeness rather than as a direct GLP-1 comparison.
Why the payment model matters more than the payout size
It is tempting to sort this list by the biggest number. Eden's reported ~$300 to $400 or Fella's listed $200 look larger than most. But those are one-time CPAs. You are paid once, at signup, and then the relationship with that customer, from a payout standpoint, is over.
MedStands works the other way. The fee is not a commission, a percentage, or a share of sales. It is a fixed marketing fee set by the medication category, and it is paid every month the referred customer stays active, in the range of $36 to $260 per active customer per month. A customer who stays on the platform for a year earns you that monthly fee twelve times, not once. That is the practical meaning of "recurring."
The attribution model reinforces it. On most programs here, the referral is tracked by a cookie that expires: 24 hours for Henry Meds (reported), 30 days for several others, and Not publicly disclosed for Orderly Meds and PlushCare. If the customer clears cookies, switches devices, or takes longer than the window to convert, the credit can be lost. MedStands does not use an expiring cookie at all. The referred customer or business is bound to you at signup and tied to you for life, stored on the account.
An honest caveat belongs here. A recurring model is only better if referrals qualify and stay active. Every MedStands request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. Your actual earnings depend on the medication category (which sets the fee) and on how many referred people qualify and remain active. The $36 to $260 figure is the per-customer monthly fee schedule, not a promise of any total. What MedStands can say plainly is the structure: fixed fee, by category, paid monthly, for as long as the customer stays. For more on why that fee is not a commission, see Is a Telehealth Referral Fee a Commission?, and for how the lifetime binding works, How Telehealth Referral Attribution Works.
How to read these programs
Noom
Noom's GLP-1 offering (Noom Med) is listed on FlexOffers at $160 one-time per purchase, run through Impact. The cookie is not officially disclosed, with a ~30-day window reported. It is a healthy one-time number, but it is still a single payment per customer. MedStands pays its category fee monthly instead, for as long as the customer stays active. See MedStands vs Noom.
WeightWatchers / Sequence
The confirmed WeightWatchers program on Impact pays $10 one-time per qualifying subscription, but only on core WW membership. The GLP-1 WW Clinic / Sequence product is excluded from the referral, with no separate GLP-1 affiliate incentive. If your audience is specifically GLP-1, that is a meaningful gap. MedStands vs WeightWatchers covers it in detail.
PlushCare
PlushCare is listed through the Katalys network at a $60 one-time CPA default, with the cookie window Not publicly disclosed. It is a straightforward one-time payout with an undisclosed tracking window, versus MedStands' lifetime binding and monthly fee. See MedStands vs PlushCare.
Sesame
Sesame's FlexOffers listing pays one-time per sale on a wide range, $0.80 to $80 by SKU, with a 30-day cookie through Impact. The by-SKU spread means the amount depends heavily on what the customer buys. MedStands' fee is set by medication category and repeats monthly. See MedStands vs Sesame.
Everlywell
Everlywell is listed on FlexOffers at a flat $4 one-time per sale with a 30-day cookie. It is a low, single payout per sale. MedStands' recurring category fee is a different model entirely. See MedStands vs Everlywell.
Calibrate
Calibrate has no standing affiliate program. What exists is a customer referral credit, reported at $15 per referral and capped at $75/year, framed as a limited-time offer. That is a customer perk, not an income program. MedStands vs Calibrate walks through the distinction.
Mochi Health
Mochi Health does appear to run an affiliate or partner program, but its terms are Not publicly disclosed and are given only after you apply. There is no public number to compare, so treat any figure you see elsewhere with caution until Mochi shares terms directly.
Common questions
Is the MedStands fee a commission or a percentage of sales?
No. It is a fixed marketing fee set by the medication category, a flat per-category dollar amount. It is not a commission, a percentage, a cut, or a share of sales or revenue. The amount for a given category does not move up or down with the price of the sale.
What does it cost to join MedStands?
Nothing. It is $0 to join, with no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy for partners or participation fee for affiliates. You get paid, you never pay. Your QR code and personal link are live the same day you sign up, an admin reviews the account, and there is no follower or audience-size minimum.
How and when do I get paid?
Payouts are monthly, sent to your bank via Stripe Connect, with a US$25 minimum payout. If your balance is below $25 in a given month, it rolls to the next month. There is no cap on referrals or earnings.
Can I refer both customers and businesses?
Yes. Affiliates can sell directly on their own link and also refer businesses, and a referred business still earns its own fee in full, so nobody earns less because you referred them. If you are weighing the two paths, see Partner vs Affiliate: Which MedStands Program Fits You?.
Where these programs might fit
If your priority is a single, larger lump sum at signup and you are comfortable with a short or undisclosed cookie window, a one-time CPA program like Fella, Noom, or Eden (as reported) may suit a one-off campaign. If you want a customer perk rather than an income stream, Calibrate's or Ivim's referral credits do exactly that. And MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe: licensed providers handle prescribing and licensed, LegitScript-certified pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping, so as a partner or affiliate you do no clinical work and hold no inventory.
If what you want is recurring income that rewards retention, with a referral tied to you for life and $0 to start, that is the MedStands model. Explore the individual programs at /for-affiliates and /for-partners, or browse who it fits by industry at /industries.
