Pros & Cons Compared

Hers

Pros

+2026 Novo Nordisk partnership — FDA-approved Wegovy pen and Wegovy oral pill from $149/mo, one of the lowest brand-name GLP-1 prices on the market
+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

−Membership + medication are billed separately ($39 first month / $149 ongoing membership) — watch the all-in math
−Generic support experience — large patient volume means less personalized attention
−Compounded pricing starts at $199/mo but stepped pricing applies at higher doses
−Zepbound access priced at ~$1,899/mo (brand cash) via the Lilly partnership — read as access, not value

Hims

Pros

+Publicly traded company (NYSE: HIMS) — SEC-filed financials, regulatory accountability that private competitors don't have.
+2026 Novo Nordisk partnership — FDA-approved Wegovy injection, Wegovy pill, and Ozempic now available directly through Hims. Real brand-name access from a single platform.
+$199/mo all-inclusive for compounded semaglutide, including consultations and shipping.
+Polished app and web experience — among the best user interfaces in men's telehealth.
+8,286 verified Trustpilot reviews is the second-largest review volume in our table (after Henry's 12,461) — significant real-world adoption.

Cons

−Trustpilot rating is 3.0 stars / 8,286 reviews (May 2026) — significantly below Henry Meds (4.5), Eden Health (4.5), Yucca Health (4.6), MEDVi (4.4). The lowest customer-experience signal of any major brand we track.
−28% of Trustpilot reviews are 1-star — the highest 1-star rate in our table. Top complaint themes: subscription handling, unexpected charges, customer service responsiveness.
−Hims reviews span ALL their products (ED, hair loss, mental health, weight loss) — not just GLP-1. But the rating still applies because most users don't separate experiences by product.
−'Hims Oral Kit' is NOT a GLP-1 — it's a non-GLP-1 metabolic combination (metformin + bupropion + topiramate + B12 + naltrexone). Easy to confuse with their compounded semaglutide. Read the product page carefully before signing up.
−Brand Wegovy at $599/mo is not competitive with LillyDirect/NovoCare cash prices or with Hers ($149/mo for the same product via the same Novo partnership).
−Generic high-volume support — large patient base means less personalized attention than smaller competitors.

Our Verdict

Hims edges out Hers with a score of 7.9/10 vs 7.3/10. Choose Hers if you want: women who want brand-name wegovy (injection or pill) at $149/mo via the 2026 novo nordisk partnership, or a compounded semaglutide option from a publicly traded telehealth brand. Choose Hims if you want: men who want a well-known publicly-traded brand and fda-approved wegovy through the 2026 novo nordisk partnership — but should know going in that hims' customer-experience signal is weaker than smaller competitors.
