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

Sprout Health

Pros

+Published average weight loss outcomes: 12-15% body weight at 6 months across their patient base
+Dedicated care coordinator assigned to each patient, not a rotating pool of providers
+Transparent pricing: $250/mo covers medication, shipping, and all consultations
+Operating since 2022 with a consistent track record, no sudden pricing changes or service disruptions

Cons

−$250/mo all-in sits in the upper-mid range, $90 more than Willow for a similar model; the premium pays for the dedicated coordinator and published outcomes
−No insurance accepted, and no superbill provided for FSA/HSA reimbursement
