Side-by-side comparison
| Feature | Oak | Strut Health |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Compounded GLP-1 shoppers comparing cash-pay options | Low-cost compounded GLP-1 with plain compounding disclosures |
| Medication type | Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, injectable and sublingual (Oak Longevity) | Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, sublingual/oral and once-weekly injection |
| Pricing model | Cash-pay subscription; recurring price not consistently listed publicly (advertised $119–$190/mo under promos) | Monthly auto-refill subscription; dose-tier 'starting at' entry pricing; medical-necessity gated |
| Semaglutide price | Compounded, advertised from $119/mo (promo); recurring rate not consistently listed, confirm in enrollment | Compounded, sublingual/oral from $99/mo, injectable from $149/mo (auto-refill 'starting at' entry-dose pricing) |
| Tirzepatide price | Compounded, advertised from $185/mo (promo); recurring rate not consistently listed, confirm in enrollment | Compounded, injectable from $199/mo; oral lozenge from $199/mo (lozenge only if a GLP-1 injection fails or can't be used) |
| Key watchout | Oak advertises figures from $119 to $190/mo across its own pages under promotions and does not list one consistent recurring price, confirm the exact ongoing rate in the enrollment flow before subscribing. Fees are non-refundable once charged. | Entry prices are the lowest-dose auto-refill rate, higher doses cost more, so confirm your dose at intake. Oral/sublingual and lozenge options require you to have failed or be unable to use an injectable GLP-1. |
