Anyone shortlisting TrimRx against Maximus is choosing between two direct-pay GLP-1 programs that solve the same problem in materially different ways.
TrimRx will prescribe tirzepatide, the dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist; Maximus, on published information, will not. If you already know you want tirzepatide, that decides it before price enters the conversation.
Everything here is drawn from each provider's own published pricing and program detail, then extended into six- and twelve-month totals so the two become comparable. Gaps in a provider's disclosure are reported as gaps, because they are part of what you are buying.

TrimRx and Maximus, side by side
Read the second row before the first: the advertised price and the price you actually run at are frequently different numbers.

|---|---|---|
| Advertised price | GLP-1 from $149/mo, GLP-1+GIP from $249/mo | $132.99/mo |
| Rate after promotions | $149/mo | $133/mo |
| Pricing structure | Price locked for the life of the plan | Flat rate at every dose |

Cost over a full course of treatment
Almost every complaint about telehealth GLP-1 pricing traces back to comparing month one instead of month twelve. Below, both are carried out to six and twelve months so the comparison holds at the point it matters.
| TrimRx | Maximus | |
|---|---|---|
| First month | $149 | $133 |
| Months 2 onward | $149/mo | $133/mo |
| 6-month total | $894 | $798 |
| 12-month total | $1,788 | $1,596 |
| Best published plan | No multi-month discount published | No multi-month discount published |
The twelve-month spread is $192. That is the number to hold TrimRx against: it has to justify roughly $16 extra every month.
Semaglutide, tirzepatide, and having somewhere to go next
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide adds GIP activity, and in head-to-head trial data it has produced larger average weight reductions. That does not make it the right first choice for everyone — it is typically more expensive and the side-effect profile is its own conversation — but it is the usual next step when semaglutide underdelivers.
TrimRx publishes both, with tirzepatide at $249/mo. Maximus publishes compounded semaglutide, so switching molecules would mean switching provider, repeating an intake and losing whatever pricing you had locked in.
If you are confident semaglutide is where you will stay, this difference costs you nothing. If you are not, it is worth more than a small monthly saving.

Where each program concedes something
On price. Maximus is the cheaper program at $133/mo against $149/mo. What Maximus gives up for that is the smallest patient base here, with limited published detail on tirzepatide; what TrimRx charges for is Lifetime Price Protection, so the number you sign up at is the number you pay at every dose.
On medication. TrimRx covers compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide (GLP-1+GIP); Maximus covers compounded semaglutide. Only TrimRx publishes a tirzepatide route, which matters if semaglutide underdelivers.
On clinical contact. The support models differ — unlimited 24/7 specialist access, appointments and messaging against prescriptions approved by licensed doctors, filled through U.S. pharmacies — and that difference is felt in week two, not week one.
On predictability. The pricing structures differ (price locked for the life of the plan versus flat rate at every dose), and structure, not headline rate, determines the twelve-month bill.
What the evidence actually says
Both platforms sell access to the same drug class, so the clinical record below applies equally to each.
SURMOUNT-4 found that continuing tirzepatide maintained and extended weight reduction, while withdrawing it led to substantial regain, per JAMA, SURMOUNT-4.
The SELECT trial found semaglutide reduced major adverse cardiovascular events in adults with overweight or obesity and established cardiovascular disease, without diabetes, per NEJM, SELECT.
Which is to say: the medication decision belongs with a clinician, and the platform decision belongs with a spreadsheet.
TrimRx vs Maximus: common questions
Which is cheaper to start, TrimRx or Maximus?
Maximus, at $133 against $149. Note that the cheapest first month and the cheapest year are often different providers here — check the 12-month row of the cost table before deciding on the entry price.
Which costs less over a year, TrimRx or Maximus?
Maximus, at roughly $1,596 for twelve months against $1,788 at TrimRx, using each provider's own best published pricing. Those totals cover medication and program fees as published; they exclude anything a provider bills separately, and they assume you stay on the same plan for the full year.
Do TrimRx or Maximus take insurance?
Both run on a direct-pay basis: you pay the platform and it does not bill your insurer. TrimRx accepts HSA/FSA funds, which is the closest thing to a benefit offset available here.
Which has more patient reviews, TrimRx or Maximus?
TrimRx, with 18,420 against 2,896. Ratings across this market cluster tightly, so volume is the more useful signal: it indicates how much operational load the platform has already absorbed, not how good the medication is.
How fast can I start with TrimRx compared with Maximus?
TrimRx advertises online intake, no clinic visit, with free shipping, arrives in 1-2 days. Maximus advertises telemedicine intake, no clinic visits, with home delivery. Both are subject to clinician review and to whether your state and health history clear, so treat the advertised timeline as a best case rather than a commitment.
Does TrimRx or Maximus offer tirzepatide?
TrimRx does, at $249/mo. Maximus publishes compounded semaglutide only, so moving to tirzepatide would mean moving provider — a new intake, a new price, and the loss of any rate you had locked in.
Do TrimRx and Maximus prescribe the same medication?
Both dispense compounded GLP-1 preparations. TrimRx lists compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide (GLP-1+GIP) and Maximus lists compounded semaglutide, so the molecules overlap even where the formulary does not match exactly.
The verdict
Maximus is the cheaper year by $192, and for a straightforward course of treatment that settles it.
The case for TrimRx is Lifetime Price Protection, so the number you sign up at is the number you pay at every dose. That is worth $16 a month to some patients and nothing at all to others — be honest about which you are.
Get the maintenance-dose price in writing from whichever one you pick. That single question prevents most of the regret in this category.
