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.

Strut Health

Anyone optimizing total monthly outlay who will keep an auto-refill running, and anyone whose real objection is the needle.

Reasons to consider it

  • Low auto-refill prices: semaglutide is $99 as a lozenge or $129 as an injection, and tirzepatide is $149 as an injection
  • Lozenges for both molecules give you a needle-free choice beside the weekly injection
  • Free physician visit, free shipping and unlimited free follow-ups are included rather than billed separately

What to weigh up

  • Every headline price is the auto-refill rate, which Strut says is 13% to 21% below a one-off order
  • Once medication leaves the pharmacy it can't be returned or refunded
  • Asynchronous by design: their FAQ notes some states need no phone consultation, so you may never speak to the prescriber

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

RxSpan MD

Someone who wants to compare a compounded route against brand-name Zepbound or Wegovy without leaving one provider, and who will read past the twelve-month figure.

Reasons to consider it

  • Every product and every term carries a published price, including the brand-name lane: Zepbound at $1,069, Ozempic at $1,299 and Wegovy at $1,349
  • Three ways to take it on one account: a weekly injection, a daily capsule of either molecule, or a brand-name drug
  • Names its medical group, Lion MD, with two lead physicians and their NPI numbers, and lists four dispensing pharmacies with phone numbers

What to weigh up

  • The figure a reader is most likely to meet elsewhere, around $194, is the twelve-month per-month rate; one month of the semaglutide injection is $249
  • Its semaglutide prices match Prime Doctor RX's to the dollar at every plan length, so comparing the two on price tells you little
  • Brand-name pricing is cash pricing: none of those three figures reflects insurance
