Pros & Cons Compared

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

Willow

Pros

+Includes monthly provider check-ins and dose adjustments at no extra cost
+Offers both injectable AND oral compounded semaglutide, one of few platforms with a daily oral tablet option
+$299/mo all-in for compounded semaglutide with monthly provider support
+90%+ patient retention rate after 3 months per their published outcomes data

Cons

−Compounded-only, no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound through the platform
−Tirzepatide pricing reaches $499-$524 at higher doses, starting dose is $399/mo
−Cash-pay only, no insurance billing, though they provide superbills for FSA/HSA
−Founded in 2024, less track record than Ro or Hims, though growth has been fast
