Our verdict
Maximus (9.4/10) is our pick over Keeps (8.3/10) for most patients. Labs are included in Maximus's monthly price — Keeps charges separately, adding $150–300/yr to the true annual cost.
Keeps may be a better fit if you prefer Keeps's specific protocol approach. Both clinics require a prescription and blood work before starting treatment.
