#44 of 54
5.3/10

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. Wegovy and Foundayo carry FDA approval for weight management. Ozempic is FDA approved for type 2 diabetes and is prescribed off label for weight loss. 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.

Why each oneA bundled program rather than a prescribe and ship service. Unlimited provider visits, nutrition and mental health coaching and 1-on-1 dietitian support are included in the monthly price with no separate membership fee, and compounded and brand-name GLP-1s are sold side by side on the same page.
A major women-focused telehealth platform with a direct Novo Nordisk partnership (Wegovy pill from $149 and pen from $199 before required membership) and a Lilly partnership (Zepbound medication from $299) alongside compounded options.

Pros & Cons Compared

Fridays

Pros

  • +Compounded semaglutide runs as low as $117 a month on the annual plan with the NYNY12 code printed on its pricing page, against $279 month to month
  • +Includes 1-on-1 nutrition coaching and weekly check-ins, not just medication prescriptions
  • +Sells brand-name Ozempic, Zepbound and Wegovy alongside compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with an insurance concierge that helps you pursue coverage for the brand-name option through your own plan
  • +Membership costs nothing on top of the medication price: unlimited provider visits, nutrition and mental health coaching and 1-on-1 dietitian support are listed on every plan

Cons

  • The lowest advertised compounded prices require an annual commitment and a promo code
  • Cash-pay only, so no part of the cost runs through insurance. The $117 headline needs a prepaid annual plan and the NYNY12 code, month to month is $279 for compounded semaglutide, and brand-name Ozempic and Zepbound are listed at $1,498 and $1,828 a month

Hers

Pros

  • +Brand-name paths include Wegovy pill, Foundayo, and Ozempic pill medication from $149 and a Wegovy pen from $199. Wegovy and Foundayo carry FDA approval for weight management, Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes and is used off label here. 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 against the parent company: on July 29, 2026 the FTC, joined by Utah and by California acting through Los Angeles County Counsel, sued Hims & Hers Health, Inc. in the Northern District of California over subscription billing, cancellation friction and sharing consumer health information with advertising platforms. The case status is Pending and these are allegations, not findings (checked 2026-09-03).
  • 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

Fridays edges out Hers with a score of 8.7/10 vs 5.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Fridays is from $117/mo; Hers is $188 first month, then $298/mo.
