Pros & Cons Compared

Henry Meds

Pros

+Verified Trustpilot record is the largest in our table: 4.5 stars across 12,461 reviews (May 2026), 85% give 5 stars.
+Replies to 100% of negative reviews, typically within 24 hours.
+Both compounded AND brand-name (Wegovy, Zepbound) under one subscription, most providers force you to pick one path.
+Easy medication switching through the patient portal. If compounded isn't working, you can move to brand-name without re-enrolling.
+Cancel anytime, no fees. Provides superbills for FSA/HSA reimbursement.

Cons

−Pharmacy partner not publicly named on the site, Henry says 'licensed pharmacies' but doesn't name a specific facility. The previously-circulated 'Strive Pharmacy' name is not confirmed on Henry's current public-facing pages.
−Cash-pay only, $199/mo is entirely out-of-pocket (though FSA/HSA superbills are available).
−7% of Trustpilot reviews are 1-star, the common theme is operational/communication issues with specific providers, not pricing surprises.
−Consultation wait times can stretch 3-5 days during peak periods (January, post-holiday).

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
