Pros & Cons Compared

Henry Meds

Pros

+Verified Trustpilot record is the largest in our table: 4.5 stars across 12,461 reviews (May 2026), 85% give 5 stars.
+Replies to 100% of negative reviews, typically within 24 hours.
+Both compounded AND brand-name (Wegovy, Zepbound) under one subscription — most providers force you to pick one path.
+Easy medication switching through the patient portal. If compounded isn't working, you can move to brand-name without re-enrolling.
+Cancel anytime, no fees. Provides superbills for FSA/HSA reimbursement.

Cons

−Pharmacy partner not publicly named on the site — Henry says 'licensed pharmacies' but doesn't name a specific facility. The previously-circulated 'Strive Pharmacy' name is not confirmed on Henry's current public-facing pages.
−Cash-pay only — $199/mo is entirely out-of-pocket (though FSA/HSA superbills are available).
−7% of Trustpilot reviews are 1-star — the common theme is operational/communication issues with specific providers, not pricing surprises.
−Consultation wait times can stretch 3-5 days during peak periods (January, post-holiday).

Lemonaid Health

Pros

+2026 restructure — $49/mo Weight Loss Membership (replaces the old $25/visit model)

+Wide medication menu: compounded sema, compounded tirz, compounded microdoses ($199), brand-name Zepbound via LillyDirect ($299-449), and metformin
+Established since 2013 with physician-only prescribing and rigorous intake

Cons

−Membership and medication billed separately — the $49/mo number is just the membership, not all-in
−Brand-name Wegovy ($1,599) and Ozempic ($1,199) cash prices are high — read as access, not value
−Best compounded pricing requires a 6-month commitment
−The 23andMe acquisition created some uncertainty about the platform's long-term focus
