FeelGood beats Hims overall, scoring 7/10 vs 5.9/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: FeelGood is from $149/mo; Hims is $188 first month, then $298/mo. Choose FeelGood for budget-conscious cash-pay patients who want low-cost compounded semaglutide, injection or oral tablet, with free shipping, no membership fees, and a money-back weight-loss guarantee. Choose Hims for men who want a well-known publicly-traded brand and fda-approved wegovy through the 2026 novo nordisk partnership, but should know going in that hims' customer-experience signal is weaker than smaller competitors.

FeelGood

#38 of 53

7/10

Telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide as both a weekly injection ($149/mo starting) and a daily oral tablet ($249/mo starting), plus a premium brand-name 'original' semaglutide injection option ($1,999/mo). Cash-pay only, no insurance billing, HSA/FSA eligible. LegitScript-approved. FeelGood does not publicly disclose which states it serves, its compounding pharmacy, or its medical leadership.

Hims

#42 of 53

5.9/10

The household name in men's telehealth, publicly traded as Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS). In 2026 Hims added FDA-approved brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, Foundayo, and Zepbound paths and has since exited compounded semaglutide for new retail patients. The advertised medication floor is $149, but the required Weight Loss Membership adds $39 in month one and $149/month after that, so the all-in floor is $188 initially and $298 ongoing before any product- or dose-specific increase. Its parent still reports offering access to compounded GLP-1 medications on a limited scale (Q2 2026 results, filed with the SEC August 10, 2026). Brand recognition and product breadth are real strengths. The trade-off: Hims' verified Trustpilot rating is 3.0 stars across 8,286 reviews (May 2026), significantly below smaller competitors like Henry Meds (4.5) or Eden Health (4.5). The 1-star pool is 28%, the highest 1-star rate in our table, clustered around subscription/billing complaints.

Pros & Cons Compared

FeelGood

Pros

+Compounded semaglutide injection from $149/mo with free shipping and no separate membership or consultation fee
+Offers an oral compounded semaglutide tablet ($249/mo) for needle-averse patients, a non-injectable route only a handful of platforms provide
+LegitScript-approved, independent certification that the telehealth/pharmacy operation meets legal and safety standards, which many budget compounded shops lack
+Money-back weight-loss guarantee plus unlimited 24/7 messaging and appointments included

Cons

−Does NOT publicly disclose which US states it serves, you can't confirm availability in your state before starting an intake
−$149 is a 'starting' price (dose-escalating), not flat across all doses, your cost can rise as your dose titrates up, and FeelGood doesn't publish the full dose-by-dose schedule
−Brand-name 'original' semaglutide injection at $1,999/mo is far above NovoCare's Wegovy pen $199/mo for the first two 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg fills through December 31, 2026, then $349/mo at standard strengths or $399/mo for Wegovy HD; oral pill from $149/mo, dose-dependent, and Hims/Hers pill medication from $149 or pen from $199 plus required membership. Never buy brand-name through FeelGood
−No named medical director, prescribing physicians, compounding pharmacy, founding year, or headquarters disclosed on the site, thin corporate and clinical transparency
−Self-reported '4.8/5' rating is not tied to a named third-party platform (no linked Trustpilot/BBB), so it can't be independently verified; the advertised '15-20% weight loss' figures are FeelGood's marketing, not FDA-reviewed efficacy data
−Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (none are), and FeelGood offers compounded semaglutide only, no tirzepatide

Hims

Pros

+Publicly traded company (NYSE: HIMS), SEC-filed financials, regulatory accountability that private competitors don't have.
+2026 Novo Nordisk partnership, FDA-approved Wegovy injection, Wegovy pill, and Ozempic now available directly through Hims. Real brand-name access from a single platform.
+Medication starts at $149/mo for Wegovy pill, Foundayo, and Ozempic pill; Wegovy or Ozempic pens start at $199 and Zepbound at $299. The required membership makes the lowest all-in path $188 in month one and $298/mo ongoing, and exact product or dose can cost more.
+Polished app and web experience, among the best user interfaces in men's telehealth.
+8,286 verified Trustpilot reviews is the second-largest review volume in our table (after Henry's 12,461), significant real-world adoption.

Cons

−Pending federal enforcement action. 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, and Hims has not been found liable.
−Trustpilot rating is 3.0 stars / 8,286 reviews (May 2026), significantly below Henry Meds (4.5), Eden Health (4.5), Yucca Health (4.6), MEDVi (4.4). The lowest customer-experience signal of any major brand we track.
−28% of Trustpilot reviews are 1-star, the highest 1-star rate in our table. Top complaint themes: subscription handling, unexpected charges, customer service responsiveness.
−Hims reviews span ALL their products (ED, hair loss, mental health, weight loss), not just GLP-1. But the rating still applies because most users don't separate experiences by product.
−'Hims Oral Kit' is NOT a GLP-1, it's a non-GLP-1 metabolic combination (metformin + bupropion + topiramate + B12 + naltrexone). Do not confuse its $69 price with the current brand-name GLP-1 menu.
−The $149 GLP-1 figures are medication-only. A required Weight Loss Membership costs $39 in month one and $149/mo ongoing, so a $149 medication path totals at least $188 initially and $298/mo after that.
−Cash-pay only, Hims does not bill insurance, so an insured buyer may do better on a copay.
−Generic high-volume support, large patient base means less personalized attention than smaller competitors.

Our Verdict

FeelGood edges out Hims with a score of 7/10 vs 5.9/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: FeelGood is from $149/mo; Hims is $188 first month, then $298/mo. FeelGood offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Both FeelGood and Hims start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 53 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
