Why each oneThe Trustpilot signal: 12,461 verified reviews at 4.5 stars is the largest customer-experience record in our table. Most competitors have under 5,000 reviews; Henry has built up real-world adoption over time. Plus medication flexibility, they cover compounded AND brand-name.

Watch out forCancelling a multi-month plan is not free. Henry's FAQ says you may have to pay out the rest of the balance unless a provider documents that you must stop, and its refunds policy keeps the $30 consultation fee once a prescription is issued and deducts a processing fee from any refund.
Brand name Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo sit behind a separate Shed membership, quoted at $125 a month on all three product pages, with the medication billed on top by the dispensing pharmacy. The small print on the Wegovy and Zepbound pages still says $99, so Shed's own pages disagree on the figure.

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.
  • +Genuine needle free choices, not only injections: the programs page lists sublingual semaglutide drops, orally dissolving semaglutide tablets and orally dissolving tirzepatide tablets alongside the weekly shot.
  • +One bundled price. Henry's FAQ says provider visits, medication and supplies, shipping and ongoing care are all included with no hidden or surprise fees, and its GLP-1 page offers free evaluations for many treatments.
  • +You can cancel from the patient portal, by email or by phone, and the month-to-month plan carries no contract.

Cons

  • Cancelling a multi-month plan is not free. Henry's FAQ says you may have to pay out the rest of the balance unless a provider documents that you must stop, and its refunds policy keeps the $30 consultation fee once a prescription is issued and deducts a processing fee from any refund.
  • Cash-pay only. The $179 entry rate and the $297 weekly injectable semaglutide rate both come out of pocket, and Henry's terms say FSA or HSA use 'may be possible in some cases, but eligibility is not guaranteed'.
  • 7% of Trustpilot reviews are 1-star, the common theme is operational/communication issues with specific providers, not pricing surprises.
  • Henry publishes no list of the states it serves, and it does not name the compounding pharmacy that fills prescriptions. Ask support about both before you pay.

Shed

Pros

  • +One flat price at any dose, Shed's pricing page states the monthly price never rises as the dose escalates
  • +$199/mo is competitively priced for an all-inclusive compounded program with good support
  • +Onboarding is fully online and asynchronous in many states, with same day approval advertised, though Shed says some states require a video visit before treatment
  • +Clean, modern UX with real-time shipping tracking and easy provider messaging

Cons

  • Brand name Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo sit behind a separate Shed membership, quoted at $125 a month on all three product pages, with the medication billed on top by the dispensing pharmacy. The small print on the Wegovy and Zepbound pages still says $99, so Shed's own pages disagree on the figure.
  • Short track record and thin published outcome data. A founding date is not shown on the site's about, contact, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), and the best evidence available is a 4.7 Trustpilot score across 1,129 reviews on a profile claimed in April 2025
  • Shed does not bill insurance, so the compounded program is cash pay, though it accepts HSA and FSA cards, posts downloadable receipts for reimbursement, and includes prior authorization and appeals support on the brand name route
  • Clinical support is responsive (replies typically within 24 hours) but less proactive than premium platforms; a $49.99/mo premium coaching add-on covers those who want higher touch

Our Verdict

Henry Meds edges out Shed with a score of 8.4/10 vs 7.8/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Henry Meds is from $199/mo; Shed is from $159/mo. Shed 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

Across all 54 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.
