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).

PeterMD

Pros

+Semaglutide + B12 formulation helps reduce nausea, the most common GLP-1 side effect

Cons

−Available in 42 states, not all 50 (8 states are excluded). Check your state during signup before planning around PeterMD.
−Not BBB accredited, and some documented complaints cite delayed medication fulfillment. Order refills ahead of your last dose rather than at the last minute.
−PeterMD began as a testosterone replacement therapy platform; GLP-1 is an expansion, not the original core. The included video consultations give you a direct read on the clinical team.
