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

PeterMD

Pros

+Flat $165/mo at all dose levels, price doesn't increase as you titrate up to maintenance doses
+100,000+ patient base with 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 14,000+ reviews, strong social proof
+Semaglutide + B12 formulation helps reduce nausea, the most common GLP-1 side effect
+Video consultations with physicians included, real face-to-face medical oversight

Cons

−Available in 42 states, not all 50 (8 states are excluded). Check your state during signup before planning around PeterMD.
−Not BBB accredited, and some documented complaints cite delayed medication fulfillment. Order refills ahead of your last dose rather than at the last minute.
−PeterMD began as a testosterone replacement therapy platform; GLP-1 is an expansion, not the original core. The included video consultations give you a direct read on the clinical team.
