Pros & Cons Compared

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

MyStart Health

Pros

+Price Lock Guarantee ensures your monthly rate never increases even as your GLP-1 dose escalates, a genuine differentiator
+Competitive pricing at $149-$179/mo for compounded semaglutide with free shipping included
+Access to 600+ board-certified doctors with unlimited clinician messaging at no additional cost
+HSA/FSA eligible, can use pre-tax health savings to pay for treatment

Cons

−Cash-pay only, no insurance accepted. If your plan covers GLP-1s, price that route first; HSA/FSA cards do work here
−Select states only, not all 50, and the exact list isn't published. Confirm your state during the intake quiz before paying
−Compounded medications only, no brand-name GLP-1 option on the menu

Our Verdict

MyStart Health edges out Maximus with a score of 7.7/10 vs 7.1/10. If budget is your priority, Maximus starts at $150/mo compared to MyStart Health's $299/mo.
