Higher Rated

Hims

#12 of 49

7.9/10

The household name in men's telehealth, publicly traded as Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS). In 2026 Hims added FDA-approved brand-name Wegovy (injection and pill) and Ozempic through a direct Novo Nordisk partnership — alongside their existing compounded semaglutide program. Brand recognition and product breadth are real strengths. The trade-off: Hims' verified Trustpilot rating is 3.0 stars across 8,286 reviews (May 2026) — significantly below smaller competitors like Henry Meds (4.5) or Eden Health (4.5). The 1-star pool is 28% — the highest 1-star rate in our table — clustered around subscription/billing complaints.

Pros & Cons Compared

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.

Tonik Wellness

Pros

+Both compounded semaglutide AND tirzepatide on a single platform with three commitment tiers (monthly, quarterly, annual)
+Annual-tier pricing is competitive — $149/mo compounded semaglutide ($1,788/yr) and $229/mo compounded tirzepatide ($2,748/yr) bundle injection supplies, provider oversight, concierge support, and dose adjustments
+Lab work required upfront — clinically more rigorous than prescribe-and-ship platforms that skip baseline bloodwork
+LegitScript verified, US-based licensed compounding pharmacies, dedicated Concierge per patient

Cons

−3-month minimum commitment on ALL subscription medications — cancellation only takes effect after the initial 3-month period
−All prescription sales final, no partial refunds, no mid-cycle credits — strict (though legally typical) for compounded telehealth
−Compounded only — no FDA-approved Wegovy or Zepbound, no oral semaglutide tablet option
−No public disclosure of founding year, leadership names, headquarters city, or compounding pharmacy partners
−Multi-vertical positioning (TRT, BHRT, longevity) means GLP-1 is one program among many, not a flagship focus

Our Verdict

Hims edges out Tonik Wellness with a score of 7.9/10 vs 7.6/10. If budget is your priority, Tonik Wellness starts at $149/mo compared to Hims's $199/mo. Hims offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility. 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. Choose Tonik Wellness if you want: annual-commit cash-pay patients who want compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide with concierge support and lab-driven oversight.
