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

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 Maximus with a score of 8.2/10 vs 7.1/10. If budget is your priority, Strut Health starts at $149/mo compared to Maximus's $150/mo. Choose Maximus if you want: men who want glp-1 alongside testosterone or other men's health protocols. Choose Strut Health if you want: users who prefer a needle-free oral semaglutide option at a reasonable price.
