The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

Maximus

People who want compounded tirzepatide at a flat price across doses and are willing to prepay at least two months, or who want brand-name pens and tablets in the same account.

Reasons to consider it

  • Its pricing FAQ lists every plan length: $249.99 a month on 2 months, $219.99 on 4, $199.99 on 6 and $149.99 on 12, with no separate first-month price
  • One flat rate covers every dose tier, with no membership fee and free shipping
  • Also offers brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro pens plus the Wegovy and Foundayo tablets

What to weigh up

  • There is no month-to-month tirzepatide plan: the shortest is two months, billed up front, and plans renew automatically at the same term
  • No compounded semaglutide option
  • No refund on medication once it has shipped, and if you aren't approved you are refunded minus the cost of the doctor consultation

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Maximus Health, Inc. dba Maximus in June 2026. We still list and link to Maximus; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.

Rixa Health

Patients who want injections or tablets at a published all-inclusive price, with a named physician lead.

Reasons to consider it

  • Named medical director with stated credentials (Timothy Scott, D.O.)
  • Publishes every dose's price, and each covers medication, shipping and visits
  • Oral dissolving tablets as well as injections: semaglutide from $140 and tirzepatide from $225 per 30 days

What to weigh up

  • Prices are per 4 weeks, so you pay 13 times a year, not 12
  • The price rises with the dose: semaglutide goes from $195 to $310 and tirzepatide from $280 to $525 per 4 weeks
  • The pricing page still shows template placeholder text ('Your description goes here') under each dose
