Pros & Cons Compared

Hone Health

Pros

+40+ biomarker lab panel included, the most comprehensive baseline testing of any GLP-1 telehealth provider
+Full health optimization platform covering hormones, longevity, and metabolic health beyond just weight loss
+Starts patients on gentler liraglutide before escalating, reduces first-week side effect severity
+Both compounded and potentially brand-name GLP-1 options available depending on clinical assessment

Cons

−Layered pricing: $65 initial consult + $149/mo membership + medication cost = $300-650/mo total, one of the most expensive options
−Select state availability, not available nationwide, and coverage varies by specific treatment program
−The $149/mo membership fee is required even before you can purchase any medication

Strut Health

Pros

+Specializes in oral compounded semaglutide, the go-to for patients who absolutely won't do injections
+Needle-free oral semaglutide tablets from $99/mo, one of the lowest oral entry prices in the table, with oral tirzepatide ($199/mo) and auto-refill injectables ($149–$199/mo) if you switch formats
+Clear educational content about oral semaglutide absorption and how to maximize effectiveness
+Simple enrollment: online questionnaire, async provider review, medication shipped to your door

Cons

−Compounded only, no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound. Oral tablets carry a bioavailability caveat vs injections, so results may come slower on the needle-free formats.
−Oral compounded semaglutide has lower bioavailability than injectable forms, so plan for potentially slower or smaller weight-loss results
