Quick verdict
Push Health is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. The bring-your-own-doctor option. Push Health is a marketplace that connects patients directly to independent licensed clinicians. No monthly membership, no clinic. Each provider sets their own consultation and refill fees. Good for self-directed patients with prior GLP-1 experience.
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 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, onboarding experience and runs $1/mo cheaper than Push 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
When to choose Push Health
Best for pricing flexibility
Patients who want maximum pricing flexibility, have prior GLP-1 history or already have a relationship with a provider on the platform.
Push Health wins on cancellation terms, medication options, member reviews on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: First-time GLP-1 patients who need integrated coaching, structured care or insurance navigation. Note also: Operates as a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform; clinical responsibility rests with individual providers, not Push Health Inc.
If cost is your main filter
Strut Health is the cheaper monthly: $199 all-in vs $200 for Push 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
Strut Health (month-to-month) and Push Health (month-to-month) sit at the same cancellation tier. Read both cancellation policies directly before signing; the on-page summary covers the headline but not the deletion-of-account or refund-window edge cases.
