Pros & Cons Compared

Lemonaid Health

Pros

+2026 restructure — $49/mo Weight Loss Membership (replaces the old $25/visit model)
+6-month plan discount — compounded tirzepatide drops to $229/mo on a 6-month commitment
+Wide medication menu: compounded sema, compounded tirz, compounded microdoses ($199), brand-name Zepbound via LillyDirect ($299-449), and metformin
+Established since 2013 with physician-only prescribing and rigorous intake

Cons

−Membership and medication billed separately — the $49/mo number is just the membership, not all-in
−Brand-name Wegovy ($1,599) and Ozempic ($1,199) cash prices are high — read as access, not value
−Best compounded pricing requires a 6-month commitment
−The 23andMe acquisition created some uncertainty about the platform's long-term focus

Strut Health

+Simple enrollment: online questionnaire, async provider review, medication shipped to your door

Cons

−Oral compounded semaglutide only — no injectables, no tirzepatide, no brand-name options
−Oral compounded semaglutide has lower bioavailability than injectable, meaning potentially less weight loss
