Quick verdict
LifeMD is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Mature publicly-traded telehealth with rare direct-supply deals from both Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. Reasonable $79/mo membership floor, intro Wegovy/Ozempic at $199 for first two fills, and Zepbound vials from $349. Insurance navigation included. Money-back guarantee if member doesn't lose 10%+ in a year.
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.
