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.
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
- −$269/mo without insurance is expensive for what's included clinically
- −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
