Pros & Cons Compared

GobyMeds

Pros

+$169/mo standard monthly rate, or $99/mo on the 3-month starter bundle, among the most affordable for a full-service compounded program
+Consistently positive Reddit reviews citing fast shipping, responsive support, and clean UX
+Modern patient portal with real-time order tracking and easy provider messaging
+Quick onboarding, most patients approved and shipped within 48 hours of enrollment

Cons

−Tirzepatide and brand-name options added 2026 but at much higher price points ($299/mo+), the semaglutide program is the value story
−Newer company with less track record than established players like Ro or Hims
−No insurance billing and no superbills for FSA/HSA reimbursement

Maximus

Pros

+Lowest entry price in the market, $79.99/mo microdose semaglutide, $99.99/mo 3-month starter pack
+GLP-1 microdosing available for BMI as low as 22, the only platform serving patients below standard obesity criteria
+Nausea-reducing formula with added glycine and B12 to ease GLP-1 side effects
+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

Our Verdict

GobyMeds edges out Maximus with a score of 8.4/10 vs 7.1/10. If budget is your priority, Maximus starts at $150/mo compared to GobyMeds's $169/mo. GobyMeds offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility. Choose GobyMeds if you want: budget-conscious users who want a modern, well-reviewed compounded glp-1 program. Choose Maximus if you want: men who want glp-1 alongside testosterone or other men's health protocols.
