Pros & Cons Compared

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

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
