Strut Health
87/100Where the value is
- Cheapest disclosed monthly cost here at $99/mo for sublingual semaglutide; tirzepatide $199 either route
- Sublingual lozenges for both molecules at the same price as the injection
- Free physician visit, free shipping and free follow-up care included rather than billed separately
The tradeoffs
- The $99 and $149 headline figures require auto-refill — a one-off order costs more, so the true cost depends on staying subscribed
- Asynchronous by design: their FAQ notes some states need no phone consultation, so you may never speak to the prescriber
Neo Soma Healthcare
65/100Where the value is
- LegitScript verification badge present
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Pricing shown publicly for all 6 product lines
The tradeoffs
- Pharmacy partner not named (503A vs 503B unclear)
- States served not listed — no per-state availability table
