Visit Telos RxThe verdict for a first step
Strut Health edges out Telos Rx on the Mama-Match Score, 77 to 76 (C vs C). Listed for transparency — read the FDA warning and the auto-refill pricing terms before choosing it over a provider with a cleaner record.
Telos Rx is still a genuine option — aggressive first-month welcome pricing and a genuinely painless one-click cancellation — but Telos hides its ongoing monthly rate and names no pharmacy or medical director, so treat that $49 headline with real caution. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

Mama-Match
Strut Health
Rank #15 · Grade C
What we like
- A genuine oral/sublingual semaglutide option, plus injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Low headline pricing with auto-refill (from ~$99/mo on oral)
- Simple asynchronous questionnaire signup with cancel-anytime language
The caveats
- February 2026 FDA warning letter for implying FDA approval of compounded GLP-1s
- The cheap prices are auto-refill (recurring) rates; the standard tiers aren't fully published
- Tirzepatide is gated behind medical-necessity language
Mama-Match
Telos Rx
Rank #16 · Grade C
What we like
- Very low first-month welcome pricing and a flat, dose-independent rate, as claimed
- Fast 5-minute asynchronous signup, with no required video visit
- One-click cancellation, with no retention call
The caveats
- The ongoing monthly price isn't published — only the first-month welcome rate is public
- No named pharmacy or medical director, and no state list, on the site
- Compounded only; sublingual delivery is far less studied than injections
