Pros & Cons Compared

MangoRx

Pros

+Oral dissolving tablets exclusively, zero injections for any GLP-1 option
+Publicly traded on NASDAQ (MGRX), SEC-required financial transparency that private competitors can't match
+Semaglutide tablet includes Vitamin B6 to help reduce nausea during treatment
+Free 100% online consultation with no video call required

Cons

−Oral semaglutide at $299/mo runs 2-3x injectable alternatives ($99-149/mo). The premium only makes sense if needles are a hard no for you.
−Early-stage public company with limited revenue; the same SEC filings that provide transparency also show the financial uncertainty reflected in the stock.
−Oral tablets are the only format, with no injectable option if you want higher bioavailability. If you may switch to injections later, pick a platform that carries both.

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

Our Verdict

Strut Health edges out MangoRx with a score of 8.2/10 vs 7.5/10. If budget is your priority, Strut Health starts at $149/mo compared to MangoRx's $299/mo. Choose MangoRx if you want: needle-phobic users who want oral-only glp-1 tablets from a publicly traded company. Choose Strut Health if you want: users who prefer a needle-free oral semaglutide option at a reasonable price.
