Quick verdict
Ivim Health is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Ivim sits between Henry's flat-rate simplicity and Form's clinical depth. Gives buyers a real branded path or a cheaper compounded path inside one membership. Four-month and six-month prepay tiers cut the headline price but lock you in.
That said, Strut Health wins on specific dimensions. One of the cheapest legitimate compounded options in the US market thanks to a niche oral lozenge format. No membership fee, free shipping, free consults and physician access included. Trade-off: lozenge bioavailability data is thin compared to standard injectable semaglutide.

When to choose Ivim Health
Best for branded or compounded optionality
Buyers who want optionality between branded and compounded GLP-1 from one program.
Ivim Health wins on medication options, member reviews on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Anyone allergic to multi-month prepay tiers or who wants pure flat monthly billing.
When to choose Strut Health
Best for oral semaglutide entry
Cost-sensitive patients who want needle-free GLP-1 entry under $100/mo and don't mind a less-studied delivery format.
Strut Health wins on pricing transparency, cancellation terms and runs $1/mo cheaper than Ivim Health at the entry tier ($199 vs $200). Over a year that's $12 you keep. The caveat: Anyone who wants brand-name FDA-approved semaglutide or insurance-billed care. Note also: Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved
If cost is your main filter
Strut Health is the cheaper monthly: $199 all-in vs $200 for Ivim Health. That's $1 a month or $12a year. The 12-month math matters most if you're planning to maintain on GLP-1 long-term. If you're running a 3-month trial, the $3 delta is small against the cost of stopping early on the wrong dose. Insurance changes the picture: if either program runs prior auth and your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, branded with copay can beat both cash-pay totals.
If lock-in is your main filter
Ivim Health (4-mo minimum) and Strut Health (month-to-month) sit at different cancellation tiers. If you're first-time on a GLP-1 and unsure how you'll tolerate it, Strut Health's easier cancellation is the safer trial.
