Hims vs WeightWatchers (Sequence): Which GLP-1 Provider Is Better?
Short answer: Hims scores higher on our rubric, 7.9/10 against 7.4/10. Full reasoning, pricing and the cases where the other one wins are below.
Hims beats WeightWatchers (Sequence) overall, scoring 7.9/10 vs 7.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Hims is $188 first month, then $298/mo; WeightWatchers (Sequence) is $74/mo membership + medication. 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 WeightWatchers (Sequence) for users who want glp-1 medication combined with the weightwatchers program and community, on the $74/mo med+ membership ($20/mo for the first 3 months), with glp-1 meds billed separately.

Hims
#7 of 54The 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.

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.
WeightWatchers (Sequence)
Pros
- +Combines GLP-1 medication with WeightWatchers' proven points system and community support
- +Insurance accepted for medication, can reduce costs significantly with qualifying plans
- +Decades of brand trust and weight loss expertise applied to clinical medication management
- +Access to WW community, workshops, and digital tools alongside medication
Cons
- −The $74/mo ongoing membership excludes medication; the self-pay medication path is advertised at $199 for the first two fills, then $349/mo
- −The WW program integration adds complexity that medication-only users won't value
- −The Sequence acquisition is still integrating, some operational inconsistencies remain
- −Less medication flexibility than pure-play GLP-1 platforms
Our Verdict
