MaxLife

Shoppers comparing a month-to-month GLP-1 plan with a discounted three-month introduction.

Reasons to consider it

  • Standing monthly rates are published alongside Starter Kits: $267 for three semaglutide months or $360 for three tirzepatide months, then the regular monthly rate
  • The FAQ says all fifty states are served and names dispensing partners including Southend, Red Rock and Hallandale
  • Medication, supplies and priority shipping are included, with provider messaging and dose reviews

What to weigh up

  • The lowest advertised prices require a three-month Starter Kit paid upfront; renewal is $155 for semaglutide or $195 for tirzepatide
  • Cancellation requires at least thirty days of notice, and medication costs are non-refundable
  • No dose-by-dose price ladder or named medical director is published; ask whether a higher dose changes the membership price

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to MaxLife Technologies Inc. dba Maxlife in February 2026. We still list and link to MaxLife; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

Curex

People who want a low-cost first month and an oral option nationwide, and who will either pay monthly or prepay a year for the lower rate.

Reasons to consider it

  • Discounted first month well below the ongoing rate — $49 for semaglutide, $149 for tirzepatide
  • Publishes a plain price table: monthly rates, plus a prepaid-year option at $199 (semaglutide) or $299 (tirzepatide) a month
  • Nationwide enrollment (all 50 states) plus an oral/sublingual route as an alternative to injections

What to weigh up

  • The 'From $199/mo' headline is the prepaid-year rate ($2,388 up front); paid monthly, semaglutide is $299 and tirzepatide $399
  • California residents cannot get the injectable route at all — oral tablets only, despite the 'all 50 states' enrollment claim
  • Named clinical leadership is disclosed in the context of Curex's original allergy-clinic business, not confirmed as GLP-1-specific prescribers

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Curex in September 2025. We still list and link to Curex; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
