Embody and Hers are tied at 7.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Embody is from $69/mo; Hers is $188 first month, then $298/mo. Choose Embody for people who want the oral tirzepatide gum, or who are comfortable selecting a 4-, 12-, 24- or 52-week plan for an advertised glp-1 + gip rate from $129. Choose Hers for women who want a female-focused platform and can budget at least $188 initially and $298/mo ongoing for a $149 medication path.

Embody

#32 of 54

7.3/10

Online weight-loss program that ships compounded GLP-1 medication to your door. Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. runs the storefront and OpenLoop Health supplies the clinical network on the current site. Embody now advertises compounded semaglutide from $79 and GLP-1 + GIP from $129; its FAQ says the chosen rate holds within a selected 4-, 12-, 24- or 52-week plan. Its standout is oral tirzepatide gum for people who do not want injections.

Hers

#30 of 54

7.3/10

The women's health arm of Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS). Hers lists Wegovy pill, Foundayo, and Ozempic pill medication from $149, a Wegovy pen from $199, Zepbound from $299, and compounded options. A required Weight Loss Membership adds $39 in month one and $149/mo thereafter, so the all-in floor for a $149 medication path is $188 initially and $298/mo ongoing; exact product and dose prices vary.

Pros & Cons Compared

Embody

Pros

+Oral tirzepatide gum is rare. Real option for needle-phobic users. (How well it absorbs vs the FDA-approved injection isn't published.)
+Advertised injection floors of $79 for semaglutide and $129 for GLP-1 + GIP, verified August 14, 2026. The FAQ says the selected rate holds within the chosen plan.
+Four plan lengths are disclosed (4, 12, 24 and 52 weeks), giving shoppers a shorter-term option as well as longer-plan pricing.
+100% money-back guarantee in writing: if you follow the program and don't see results in 6 months, they say they'll make it right.
+Replies to every negative Trustpilot review, usually within 24 hours.

Cons

−Runs two sibling storefronts most shoppers will never connect to it: SnagRx (snagrx.com) and RodeoMeds (rodeomeds.com) are the same legal entity, Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. SnagRx still advertises a separate $69/$119 promotion; Embody now advertises $79/$129 under its own plan menu. Neither site tells shoppers they share an operator. See our [SnagRx review](/reviews/snagrx)
−The $79/$129 figures are advertised floors tied to a selected 4-, 12-, 24- or 52-week plan, not a verified no-commitment month-to-month rate. Confirm the plan length and total before payment.
−Trustpilot rating is 3.8 / 5 across 5,305 reviews, verified August 14, 2026. Price and billing remain recurring complaint themes, although many reviews describe earlier pricing structures.
−Embody names four pharmacy partners: RedRock Pharmacy, Health Warehouse, Precision Compounding and Triad Rx. It does not state whether each prescription is filled through a 503A pharmacy or a 503B outsourcing facility. Triad Rx received a 2019 FDA warning letter for sterile-production violations; FDA closed it out in May 2023.
−No HIPAA disclosure on their site (HIPAA is the federal law protecting your medical info, most telehealth providers publish a statement confirming they follow it).
−Compounded medications only, no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or Ozempic available.
−If you stop treatment and come back, Embody's doctors will likely restart you at the lowest dose (2.5mg). It's their safety policy; raise your dose history at signup, the prescriber makes the final call.

Hers

Pros

+FDA-approved brand paths include Wegovy pill, Foundayo, and Ozempic pill medication from $149 and a Wegovy pen from $199; with the required membership, a $149 medication path totals $188 initially and $298/mo ongoing
+Zepbound access via the Lilly/Hims-Hers partnership announced 2026
+Publicly traded company (NYSE: HIMS) with strong financial backing and regulatory compliance
+Broader women's health platform, integrates weight loss with hormonal, skin, and wellness services

Cons

−Pending federal enforcement action against the parent company. On July 29, 2026 the FTC, joined by Utah and California acting through Los Angeles County Counsel, filed a complaint against Hims & Hers Health, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations of the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act over subscription billing, cancellation friction, and sharing consumer health information with advertising platforms. Case status is Pending. These are allegations, not findings.
−Every medication figure excludes the required Weight Loss Membership ($39 first month, then $149/mo); exact product and dose prices can increase the total above the $188/$298 floor
−Support runs at big-platform scale, fine for routine refills, less personal if you want high-touch care
−Compounded pricing starts at $199/mo with stepped pricing at higher doses, budget for the dose you'll end up on, not the entry dose
−Zepbound medication starts at $299 before the required membership; that path totals $338 in month one and at least $448/mo ongoing, with exact dose pricing potentially higher

Our Verdict

Embody and Hers are closely matched with identical scores of 7.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Embody is from $69/mo; Hers is $188 first month, then $298/mo. Hers offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
