Medications

semaglutidetirzepatideliraglutide

Pros

✓Accepts insurance, which almost nothing else on this site does. Most in-network patients pay a copay of $30 or less for a visit
✓Membership is $19.99/month with the first month free, and there is no minimum commitment
✓Prescribes only FDA-approved medications - Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda, Contrave and Xenical - so no compounded product is involved
✓Care comes from board-certified primary care physicians rather than an asynchronous questionnaire review
✓A full refund is offered if the doctor is unable to treat you
✓Membership includes far more than weight care: 24/7 urgent care video visits, mental health support, discounted lab tests and free memberships for family
✓An in-app prescription discount card and HSA/FSA eligibility can reduce medication costs further
✓The site is candid that GLP-1s 'usually cost about $1000 per month out of pocket' and advises checking insurance coverage first, rather than hiding the real figure

Cons

✗The $19.99 membership buys access, not medication. Without insurance coverage the GLP-1 itself can run about $1,000 a month, which PlushCare states openly but which makes the headline price misleading if read as a treatment cost
✗Visits are charged on top of membership - $129 for an initial visit without in-network insurance
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.4 out of 5 across 2,735 reviews, the weakest score of any established provider we have reviewed here
✗Prescriptions are explicitly at the doctor's discretion, so paying for membership and a visit does not guarantee you leave with a GLP-1
✗This is a general telehealth service, so the weight-loss programme has less dedicated structure - no built-in coaching, food tracking or dose-titration support
✗Medication and lab costs are excluded from every advertised price, so your real monthly outlay depends entirely on your insurer
✗Contrave is offered as a $99 cash-pay alternative, but the cash cost of the GLP-1s themselves is not published
✗If you have no insurance and want a GLP-1, this route is likely to cost far more than the compounded providers listed elsewhere on this site

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Everything Hers dispenses is a brand-name, FDA-approved medication. No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide is sold here, so you get the exact product studied in the trials
✓The branded range is the widest we have seen: Wegovy Pill and Pen, Zepbound Vial and KwikPen, Ozempic Pill and injection, Mounjaro and Foundayo Pill (checked July 28, 2026)
✓The Wegovy Pill starts at $149/month for medication - genuinely competitive for an FDA-approved oral GLP-1, and a real option if you will not inject
✓The cardiovascular claim for Wegovy is correctly qualified to its approved population: adults with heart disease plus obesity or overweight, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased activity
✓It states plainly that Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and are available only to patients meeting clinical eligibility criteria, rather than blurring the off-label distinction
✓Testimonials carry an honest disclaimer that customers may have been compensated and results were not independently verified
✓Membership includes nutrition and exercise guidance, a dedicated care team and on-demand support, not just a prescription
✓Named in-house clinicians, a published phone number and address, and iOS and Android apps

Cons

✗The advertised prices are for medication only. An active Hers Weight Loss Membership is mandatory - $39 for the first month, then auto-renewing at $149/month - and is billed separately. The realistic entry cost is therefore about $298/month, not the $149 on the tile
✗The membership terms state it 'does not include or guarantee a prescription'. You can pay the fee and not be prescribed anything, and medication is not available without it
✗The membership auto-renews from $39 to $149 after the first month, so the introductory figure is a seventh of the ongoing rate
✗Branded Mounjaro and Zepbound are listed at $1,899/month, which is close to full list price and far beyond what most people will pay out of pocket
✗A Trustpilot average of 3.3 across roughly 9,000 reviews is the weakest independent score of any major provider we cover, despite the FDA-approved lineup
✗A 'Microdosing Plan' is offered for the Wegovy Pill. Microdosing is not an evidence-based protocol - the trials behind these drugs used full therapeutic doses
✗The '32 lbs' figure shown beside the Wegovy Pill is asterisked to trial data for the branded drug, not to outcomes among Hers members
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy. Pancreatitis and gallbladder disease are recognised risks
