Quick verdict

Henry Meds is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Henry built the cash-pay compounded GLP-1 category and still runs the cleanest version of it. Flat monthly pricing, no labs theater, true month-to-month. Pivoted hard after the FDA shortage delisting and now leans on personalization-claim 503A pharmacies.

That said, Hims & Hers wins on specific dimensions. Same-day prescription, no lock-in, and brand-name confidence. The famous $199 compounded era ended in March 2026 after the Novo Nordisk settlement; new patients now route to branded products only.
