Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The entire weight-loss line is FDA-approved branded medication - Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound vial and KwikPen, Ozempic, Ozempic pill, Mounjaro and the new Foundayo pill - with no compounded product in the lineup
✓Genuinely competitive medication pricing for branded drugs: the Wegovy pill and Foundayo pill from $149/mo and the Wegovy pen and Ozempic from $199/mo (checked July 26, 2026)
✓A microdosing plan for the Wegovy pill is offered at the same $149/mo, which is unusual for a branded product
✓Zepbound vial and KwikPen at $299/mo undercut what many telehealth platforms charge for the same branded product
✓Every product carries an 'Important safety information' link directly beside it
✓A large, established, publicly listed company with real regulatory exposure, rather than an anonymous LLC
✓Ongoing care is included from day one alongside the medication

Cons

✗The advertised prices are medication only. A Hims Weight Loss Membership is required on top - $39 for the first month, then auto-renewing at $149/month - so the realistic all-in cost starts near $298/month and reaches about $448/month for Zepbound
✗The membership 'does not include or guarantee a prescription', and medication 'is not available without a membership'. You can pay $149 a month and be declined treatment
✗The $39 introductory membership auto-renews at nearly four times that rate
✗Mounjaro and Zepbound are listed at $1,899/month, far above the manufacturers' own direct-pay programmes
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.0 out of 5 across 8,862 reviews - the weakest independent score of any major provider we have reviewed here, despite the FDA-approved lineup
✗The '32 lbs' figure beside the Wegovy pill is asterisked to trial data for the branded drug, not to outcomes among Hims members
✗Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, so prescribing them for weight loss is off-label and depends on your clinical picture
✗Because medication and membership are billed separately, the headline price understates what leaves your account each month

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Offers both compounded and FDA-approved branded GLP-1s, and labels which is which on the landing page: compounded semaglutide from $149.99/mo, compounded tirzepatide from $249.99/mo, and brand-name Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Foundayo and Zepbound from $199.99/mo (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Brand-name medication at $199.99 undercuts its own compounded tirzepatide, so the FDA-approved route is not automatically the expensive one here
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.4 across 1,034 reviews
✓This offer is restricted in only two states, Alaska and Washington - the narrowest exclusion list of any provider we have reviewed
✓Substantial free tooling and educational content: BMI and TDEE calculators, a semaglutide versus tirzepatide comparison, and guides on what GLP-1s actually do
✓Testosterone, oxytocin and weight-loss protocols under one roof if you want hormone and metabolic care from the same clinic
✓The body-fat chart carries a 'Results may vary' disclaimer rather than presenting the figure as a promise

Cons

✗The headline result claim is '↓28%' body fat, sourced only to 'Averages based on real results from Maximus clients'. That data is not published, and body fat is a different measure from the body-weight percentages every other provider quotes - the two are easy to confuse when comparing
✗We could not find an explicit 'not FDA-approved' disclosure for the compounded products. The category is labelled 'Compounded' and the other is labelled 'FDA-approved', but the plain statement most competitors make is missing
✗No refund or cancellation policy is published - only a privacy policy and terms of use
✗A statistic on the oxytocin product renders as '↑ 0 %of participants reported', so at least one clinical figure on the page is broken
✗'Starting at' pricing on all three categories, with no indication of what plan length unlocks the lowest rate
✗GLP-1 sits alongside testosterone and mood products in a men's-focused brand, so the weight-loss programme is one line among several
✗No published phone number or support hours on the landing page
