MadeMed vs Strut Health
Two GLP-1 desks, one scoreboard. We put MadeMed and Strut Health head-to-head on the published Brief Score — the same six factors, scored the same way.
MadeMed
The verdict
MadeMed takes this head-to-head.
MadeMed scores 86 to 84 on our six-factor Brief Score — Publishes a price for every dose of every route — which makes it easy to brief, and expensive if you stay low.
That doesn't make Strut Health a bad call — it's best for readers who want a needle-free route at the lowest tracked price and are comfortable with a recurring auto-refill. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities before you decide.
Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It never changes the Brief Score.
