Short answer: Hims scores higher on our rubric, 7.9/10 against 5.3/10. Full reasoning, pricing and the cases where the other one wins are below.

Hims beats TrimRx overall, scoring 7.9/10 vs 5.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Hims is $188 first month, then $298/mo; TrimRx is published $179/mo; total not verified. Choose Hims for 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 TrimRx for cash-pay shoppers willing to verify the exact drug, first-order charge and follow-up price at checkout before authorizing payment.

Hims

#7 of 54
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, Ozempic, Foundayo, and Zepbound paths and has since exited compounded semaglutide for new retail patients. The advertised medication floor is $149, but the required Weight Loss Membership adds $39 in month one and $149/month after that, so the all-in floor is $188 initially and $298 ongoing before any product- or dose-specific increase. Its parent still reports offering access to compounded GLP-1 medications on a limited scale (Q2 2026 results, filed with the SEC August 10, 2026). 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.

TrimRx

#47 of 54
5.3/10

Cash-pay compounded GLP-1 provider offering semaglutide and a dual-agonist option it labels 'GLP-1 + GIP.' Its landing advertises a $179 floor, while its terms list semaglutide at $199 for the first order and $299 for follow-ups, and GLP-1 + GIP at $349 then $399. That conflict, plus a corroborated billing and fulfillment complaint pattern, is central to our 5.3/10 score.

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.
  • +Medication starts at $149/mo for Wegovy pill, Foundayo, and Ozempic pill; Wegovy or Ozempic pens start at $199 and Zepbound at $299. The required membership makes the lowest all-in path $188 in month one and $298/mo ongoing, and exact product or dose can cost more.
  • +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

  • Pending federal enforcement action. 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, and Hims has not been found liable.
  • 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). Do not confuse its $69 price with the current brand-name GLP-1 menu.
  • The $149 GLP-1 figures are medication-only. A required Weight Loss Membership costs $39 in month one and $149/mo ongoing, so a $149 medication path totals at least $188 initially and $298/mo after that.
  • Cash-pay only, Hims does not bill insurance, so an insured buyer may do better on a copay.
  • Generic high-volume support, large patient base means less personalized attention than smaller competitors.

TrimRx

Pros

  • +Offers both compounded semaglutide and a compounded GLP-1 + GIP option through one intake
  • +The landing advertises a $179 entry floor, although that figure does not match the medication schedule in the official terms
  • +Onboarding takes under 15 minutes with same-day provider review for most applications
  • +Free medication replacement if your shipment is lost or damaged in transit

Cons

  • The advertised $179 floor conflicts with TrimRx's own terms: semaglutide is listed at $199 for the first order and $299 for follow-ups; GLP-1 + GIP is $349 first and $399 follow-up. Treat the total as unresolved until checkout
  • Trustpilot is 3.6/5 across 5,485 reviews with 32% one-star; BBB rates TrimRx F/not accredited with 728 unanswered and 221 unresolved complaints
  • The same paid-but-no-medication, billing, refund and fulfillment themes recur across BBB and Trustpilot, meeting our rubric's cross-platform -3.0 fulfillment-failure threshold
  • Compounded only, no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved finished products.
  • No insurance billing and no superbill for out-of-network reimbursement, so treat the monthly price as a pure cash-pay number

Our Verdict

Hims edges out TrimRx with a score of 7.9/10 vs 5.3/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Hims is $188 first month, then $298/mo; TrimRx is published $179/mo; total not verified.
