Pros & Cons Compared

FeelGood

Pros

  • +Compounded semaglutide injection from $149/mo with free shipping and no separate membership or consultation fee
  • +Offers an oral compounded semaglutide tablet ($249/mo) for needle-averse patients, a non-injectable route only a handful of platforms provide
  • +LegitScript-approved, independent certification that the telehealth/pharmacy operation meets legal and safety standards, which many budget compounded shops lack
  • +Money-back weight-loss guarantee plus unlimited 24/7 messaging and appointments included

Cons

  • Does NOT publicly disclose which US states it serves, you can't confirm availability in your state before starting an intake
  • $149 is a 'starting' price (dose-escalating), not flat across all doses, your cost can rise as your dose titrates up, and FeelGood doesn't publish the full dose-by-dose schedule
  • Brand-name 'original' semaglutide injection at $1,999/mo is far above NovoCare's Wegovy pen $199/mo for the first two 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg fills through December 31, 2026, then $349/mo at standard strengths or $399/mo for Wegovy HD; oral pill from $149/mo, dose-dependent, and Hims/Hers pill medication from $149 or pen from $199 plus required membership. Never buy brand-name through FeelGood
  • No named medical director, prescribing physicians, compounding pharmacy, founding year, or headquarters disclosed on the site, thin corporate and clinical transparency
  • Self-reported '4.8/5' rating is not tied to a named third-party platform (no linked Trustpilot/BBB), so it can't be independently verified; the advertised '15-20% weight loss' figures are FeelGood's marketing, not FDA-reviewed efficacy data
  • Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (none are), and FeelGood offers compounded semaglutide only, no tirzepatide

Maximus

Pros

  • +Lowest published microdose medication price we track, $79.99/mo semaglutide; consultation and lab fees are separate
  • +GLP-1 microdosing available for BMI as low as 22, the only platform serving patients below standard obesity criteria
  • +Maximus markets a semaglutide formula with added glycine and B12 as a way to ease nausea; we found no Maximus-specific clinical trial validating that claim
  • +Free expedited shipping on all medication orders

Cons

  • The $99.99/mo rate is introductory: standard dosing is $299.99/mo, with consultations billed separately at $28-35 and labs at $199-349/yr, so budget on the standard rate, not the intro
  • Compounding pharmacy partners are not disclosed, a transparency gap for a healthcare platform
  • Bulk-plan prices rise as your dose escalates; ask for the full dose-price schedule up front so total cost isn't a surprise
  • FDA warning letter #730095, issued June 8, 2026, cites false or misleading compounded-GLP-1 marketing claims. It is a marketing/misbranding record, not an unsafe-medication finding

Our Verdict

FeelGood edges out Maximus with a score of 7/10 vs 5.1/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: FeelGood is from $149/mo; Maximus is published $79.99/mo; total not verified. FeelGood offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
