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

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 to $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. Strut does not publish formulation-specific pharmacokinetic or comparative outcome evidence for its oral tablets, so their absorption and weight-loss results versus approved injections are unknown.
−Compounded oral semaglutide is not FDA-approved as a finished product or established as bioequivalent to approved oral or injectable semaglutide; do not infer equivalent dosing or results
