Watch out for

Hers

Pending federal enforcement against the parent company: on July 29, 2026 the FTC, joined by Utah and by California acting through Los Angeles County Counsel, sued Hims & Hers Health, Inc. in the Northern District of California over subscription billing, cancellation friction and sharing consumer health information with advertising platforms. The case status is Pending and these are allegations, not findings (checked 2026-09-03).

Ivim Health

Once a program starts it cannot be cancelled. Ivim's GLP-1 ID page says cancellation is not available once your program has started, prescribed medication is non-refundable, and leaving early costs $100 for each undelivered three-month portion or $50 for each two-month portion

Trade-offs

Strengths and cautions compared

Hers

Pros

  • +Brand-name paths include Wegovy pill, Foundayo, and Ozempic pill medication from $149 and a Wegovy pen from $199. Wegovy and Foundayo carry FDA approval for weight management, Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes and is used off label here. With the required membership, a $149 medication path totals $188 initially and $298/mo ongoing
  • +Zepbound access via the Lilly/Hims-Hers partnership announced 2026
  • +Publicly traded company (NYSE: HIMS) with strong financial backing and regulatory compliance

1 more documented strengths

  • +Broader women's health platform, integrates weight loss with hormonal, skin, and wellness services

Cons

  • −Pending federal enforcement against the parent company: on July 29, 2026 the FTC, joined by Utah and by California acting through Los Angeles County Counsel, sued Hims & Hers Health, Inc. in the Northern District of California over subscription billing, cancellation friction and sharing consumer health information with advertising platforms. The case status is Pending and these are allegations, not findings (checked 2026-09-03).
  • −Every medication figure excludes the required Weight Loss Membership ($39 first month, then $149/mo); exact product and dose prices can increase the total above the $188/$298 floor
  • −Support runs at big-platform scale, fine for routine refills, less personal if you want high-touch care

2 more documented cautions

  • −Compounded pricing starts at $199/mo with stepped pricing at higher doses, budget for the dose you'll end up on, not the entry dose
  • −Zepbound medication starts at $299 before the required membership; that path totals $338 in month one and at least $448/mo ongoing, with exact dose pricing potentially higher

Ivim Health

Pros

  • +Publishes microdose medication rates by term: semaglutide $75/mo on four or six months, plus a separately stated $74.99 monthly program fee.
  • +Weekly provider check-ins and unlimited provider visits sit inside the $74.99 membership, more contact than most platforms at this price point
  • +Personalized titration schedules based on individual tolerance, not cookie-cutter dose escalation

1 more documented strengths

  • +Both brand-name and compounded available, with the option to switch based on response

Cons

  • −Once a program starts it cannot be cancelled. Ivim's GLP-1 ID page says cancellation is not available once your program has started, prescribed medication is non-refundable, and leaving early costs $100 for each undelivered three-month portion or $50 for each two-month portion
  • −The $74.99 monthly program fee is additional to medication. Microdose semaglutide costs $75/mo on a four- or six-month program, or $100/mo on two months. These figures describe microdose plans, not every dose or protocol.

Our Verdict

Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Hers is $188 first month, then $298/mo; Ivim Health is from $149.99/mo. Check the medication, renewal bill and cancellation commitment for the plan you would actually choose. The dated assessments below are not a fresh head-to-head score audit.

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

Both Hers and Ivim Health start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 37 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.
