Alan Meds
Editorial
$215/mo
Alan Meds prices compounded tirzepatide by injection from $325 a month and an oral compounded GLP-1 from $215, each paid up front on a six-month plan. No month-to-month rate is published for either. Separate microdosing lines sit well below both, forty-six states are served, and no oral tirzepatide is listed.
For
- Full-dose and microdosing lines listed apart
- The prepay term is printed in a footnote
- Forty-six states served
Against
- No month-to-month rate on the full-dose lines
- Six months are paid before the first dose
- What the rate includes is not stated
Pick it for: Readers who want no standing order and a stated flat rate
Strut Health
Partner
$99/mo
Strut Health advertises compounded semaglutide at $149 a month by injection and $99 as an oral, with compounded tirzepatide at $199 in either form. Each of those is the auto-refill rate; the page shows a higher one-off price beside the oral tirzepatide at $239, and a $325 compare-at figure beside the injection. Coverage runs to 49 states, with Alaska excluded.
For
- Four advertised rates, both forms of both molecules
- Oral semaglutide priced at $99 a month
- One-off prices shown beside refill rates
Against
- Advertised rates assume a standing auto-refill
- Not available in Alaska
- Dose-escalation pricing not stated
Pick it for: Readers who want a tablet and will hold the refill to get it
Our verdict
Alan Meds states its figures hold at every dose. Strut Health's headline requires a refill commitment and it publishes the one-off price beside it. Both are $99 and neither means the same thing. The formats differ too: Alan Meds quotes $99 for an injection, while Strut Health's $99 is the oral and its injection is $149. Strut also states the discount behind each line, so a reader can see what stepping outside the standing order costs. Alan Meds has no standing order to step outside of, which is why it publishes one figure per line and no alternative.

Before you choose either
Ask both sellers what dose the monthly price buys before you compare the two figures. A price is only a price once you know what quantity it is attached to, and a seller that will not answer has told you something. Set both against every published price we hold rather than against each other alone.
Our take is computed from a published rubric that does not read commercial status, and what is known about safety applies to both of them equally.
