Strut and Fridays: a five-category menu against a two-category one
These two barely compete. Strut runs five live categories and Fridays two, and only one appears on both lists, so for most of what either sells there is no choice to make, just a door open or shut. Where they meet, on weight loss, Strut's floor is $99 a month against Fridays' $150 prepaid, and Strut has an FDA warning letter on its record about that exact line, which the agency's index still shows with no response letter and no close-out letter.

How We Compared Strut vs Fridays
How we put this page together
Source. Our own live record for Strut and Fridays, read on 2026-10-07. Where the record is empty we say so instead of filling it.
Prices. Every figure is a floor, the cheapest configuration we could verify, carrying its own check date: Strut hair loss 2026-07-22, weight loss 2026-08-21, its other three categories 2026-08-22, Fridays weight loss 2026-09-12. Fridays' $129 injectable testosterone figure has no verification date in our file, so we attach none. The $51 and $150 gaps are subtraction between two published figures, and we publish no averages or annualised totals.
Approval status. Compounded products are named as compounded, and off-label use is given with the approved indication and population.
The warning letter. Reported from the agency's published letter with the fda.gov permalink, paraphrasing the marketing language it quoted rather than reprinting it.
Deliberately absent. No efficacy figures, no dosing guidance, no list of who a medication is or is not for.
Fridays' own listing carries a second, lower semaglutide figure of $117 a month alongside a promotional offer with discount codes, and it is published without a verification date. The figures we quote for Fridays are the dated ones from its price listing, verified on 2026-09-12. If you see $117 advertised, that is the annual-plan price with discount code NYNY12 applied, which we confirmed on joinfridays.com on 2026-10-08. The $150 we quote is the annual-plan price with no code, and a code-conditioned price can be withdrawn at any time.
Final Verdict: Strut vs Fridays
Where this lands
Mostly these two are not rivals. Five live categories against two, overlapping in one. For hair loss, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation or women's health, Strut is the only side selling anything. For injectable testosterone, Fridays is.
In the one shared category, Strut is cheaper and carries the heavier file. $99 per month as of 2026-08-21 against $150 prepaid or $249 month-to-month as of 2026-09-12. And Strut has an FDA warning letter on its record, linked in full above, which is about the compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide line, the line $99 buys. We will not resolve that trade for you, and we will not let the price advantage bury it.
Both weight-loss routes here are compounded. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished drug products: the FDA has not reviewed them for safety, quality or effectiveness. Check both prices at the source, and take the medical decision to a licensed clinician.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Strut or Fridays cheaper for weight loss?
Strut, on both comparisons. Its label is $99 per month as of 2026-08-21. Fridays is $150 prepaid and $249 month-to-month as of 2026-09-12, so Strut sits $51 and $150 below. All are floors, the lowest dated figure our record holds for that brand and category, rather than quotes.
What is the FDA warning letter against Strut about?
The FDA reviewed struthealth.com in December 2025 and, on 2026-02-20, issued Strut Health, LLC a warning letter citing misbranding under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Pictured product labels carried the Strut name, which the agency said represents Strut as the compounder of the semaglutide and tirzepatide products when it is not, and three site claims were read as presenting its compounded products as generics of named brand-name GLP-1 medications. Its MARCS-CMS number and our check of the warning letter index are given in the section above.
Does the Strut letter affect its hair loss or ED treatment?
The letter concerns Strut's compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide line, which is its weight-loss offering, and does not address the hair-loss, erectile-dysfunction, premature-ejaculation or women's-health lines. It is still worth reading first, because it is about how the company described a product.
Is the compounded semaglutide Strut prescribes FDA approved?
No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished drug products: the FDA has not reviewed them for safety, quality or effectiveness. Strut's feature list describes compounded injectable semaglutide, and the warning letter above turns in part on this point.
Does Fridays treat hair loss or erectile dysfunction?
No. Fridays is live with us in two categories only, testosterone replacement and weight loss. For the other four, Strut is the only side of this comparison selling anything.
Can I get testosterone injections from Strut?
No, because Strut runs no testosterone category with us. Its erectile-dysfunction product does include an optional at-home test kit measuring testosterone, DHEA-S, estradiol, cortisol and SHBG, which measures rather than treats. Fridays publishes injectable testosterone at $129 per month, with no verification date on file.
What does the $25 Strut hair loss price cover?
Its label is $25 per month as of 2026-07-22, and its feature list names FDA-approved finasteride 1mg tablets, approved for male pattern hair loss. Other items on that list are compounded or off-label: HairfectRx and custom dutasteride capsules are compounded, and oral minoxidil is off-label, since minoxidil tablets hold FDA approval for hypertension that other drugs have not controlled, not for hair loss.
What rating does Strut have?
We hold no third-party rating for Strut, so we will not quote one. Our own editorial score is 9.4 out of 10, labelled Outstanding, which is our assessment and not an outside measure. For Fridays, Trustpilot showed 4.2 when we observed it on 2026-09-11.
