Hers vs MEDGm: Costs, care and treatment fit
A side-by-side look at total cost, medication format, care, commitment and the situations where each option makes more sense.
Our MEDGm referral excludes Louisiana; Nebraska patients must be 19 or older. The provider must confirm your eligibility and medication availability. A prescription is required and is issued only if a licensed clinician finds treatment appropriate.
The decision
Which should you choose, Hers or MEDGm?
Short answer: The available assessments do not establish a score winner. Compare medication, full cost, care and commitment to decide which fits your needs. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Hers is $188 first month, then $298/mo; MEDGm is $169/mo equivalent; $2,028 upfront for 12 months; applicable taxes may add to the bill.
Consider Hers if
Women who want a female-focused platform and can budget at least $188 initially and $298/mo ongoing for a $149 medication path.
Consider MEDGm if
Shoppers comparing compounded starting prices who want named pharmacy partners and are willing to confirm their exact medication and renewal cost before paying.
Read each assessment label below: missing evidence is not evidence of poor care. Partnership status does not change the score or the factual comparison.

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
- +Hers lists brand-name Zepbound access, with medication billed separately from the required Weight Loss Membership
- +Part of publicly traded Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (NYSE: HIMS)
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
MEDGm
Pros
- +Publishes compounded plan prices before intake, with consultation, labs, medication, support and delivery advertised as included
- +Names OpenLoop Health and four pharmacy partners: RedRock Pharmacy, Health Warehouse, Precision Medicine and Triad Rx
- +Advertises included labs; the specific tests and requirements need confirmation with the provider
2 more documented strengths
- +Displays a linked LegitScript seal and supplied certification documentation
- +Publishes a full current-term refund if the clinician disqualifies you before the first medication shipment
Cons
- −Brand-name cards show membership fees only: $99 for Zepbound or Wegovy and $171 for Ozempic, with medication charged separately
- −The $169 injection headline requires $2,028 prepaid for a year of semaglutide; monthly plans cost more and welcome discounts end after month one
- −The tablet's $239 monthly equivalent requires $2,868 prepaid for 12 months; the monthly welcome discount does not continue at renewal
2 more documented cautions
- −No individual medical director or prescribing clinician is named on the pages checked
- −Cancel at least 72 hours before renewal. Voluntary cancellation does not refund the paid term; dispensed medication is non-refundable
Our Verdict
The available assessments do not establish a score winner between Hers and MEDGm. Compare the medication, full cost, care and commitment that fit your needs. An incomplete assessment is not evidence of poor care. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Hers is $188 first month, then $298/mo; MEDGm is $169/mo equivalent; $2,028 upfront for 12 months; applicable taxes may add to the bill.
