Watch out forPending federal enforcement action against the parent company. On July 29, 2026 the FTC, joined by Utah and California acting through Los Angeles County Counsel, filed a complaint against Hims & Hers Health, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations of the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act over subscription billing, cancellation friction, and sharing consumer health information with advertising platforms.

Pros & Cons Compared

Hers

Pros

  • +FDA-approved brand paths include Wegovy pill, Foundayo, and Ozempic pill medication from $149 and a Wegovy pen from $199; 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
  • +Broader women's health platform, integrates weight loss with hormonal, skin, and wellness services

Cons

  • Pending federal enforcement action against the parent company. On July 29, 2026 the FTC, joined by Utah and California acting through Los Angeles County Counsel, filed a complaint against Hims & Hers Health, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations of the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act over subscription billing, cancellation friction, and sharing consumer health information with advertising platforms. Case status is Pending. These are allegations, not findings.
  • 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
  • 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

Maximus

Pros

  • +Lowest published microdose medication price we track, $79.99/mo semaglutide; consultation and lab fees are separate
  • +GLP-1 microdosing available for BMI as low as 22, the only platform serving patients below standard obesity criteria
  • +Maximus markets a semaglutide formula with added glycine and B12 as a way to ease nausea; we found no Maximus-specific clinical trial validating that claim
  • +Free expedited shipping on all medication orders

Cons

  • The $99.99/mo rate is introductory: standard dosing is $299.99/mo, with consultations billed separately at $28-35 and labs at $199-349/yr, so budget on the standard rate, not the intro
  • Compounding pharmacy partners are not disclosed, a transparency gap for a healthcare platform
  • Bulk-plan prices rise as your dose escalates; ask for the full dose-price schedule up front so total cost isn't a surprise
  • FDA warning letter #730095, issued June 8, 2026, cites false or misleading compounded-GLP-1 marketing claims. It is a marketing/misbranding record, not an unsafe-medication finding

Our Verdict

Hers edges out Maximus with a score of 7.3/10 vs 5.1/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Hers is $188 first month, then $298/mo; Maximus is published $79.99/mo; total not verified. Hers offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
