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.
