Pros & Cons Compared

Fridays

Pros

  • +One of the few platforms that bills insurance directly, can reduce out-of-pocket to $25-50/mo with coverage
  • +Includes 1-on-1 nutrition coaching and weekly check-ins, not just medication prescriptions
  • +Offers brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound and compounded options, switches based on insurance formulary
  • +Flexible plans: medication-only ($249/mo) or full coaching program ($299/mo)

Cons

  • The coaching-heavy model adds complexity, three different plan tiers with different inclusions
  • Without insurance, $249/mo for medication-only is above average for what you get clinically

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

Fridays edges out Hers with a score of 8.7/10 vs 7.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Fridays is $249/mo month-to-month; Hers is $188 first month, then $298/mo. Fridays accepts insurance, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
