Quick verdict
Ivim Health is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Ivim sits between Henry's flat-rate simplicity and Form's clinical depth. Gives buyers a real branded path or a cheaper compounded path inside one membership. Four-month and six-month prepay tiers cut the headline price but lock you in.
That said, Hims & Hers wins on specific dimensions. Same-day prescription, no lock-in and brand-name confidence. Hims pivoted to branded-only in March 2026 after settling with Novo Nordisk; compounded semaglutide is closed to new patients. Headline price is $299/mo branded Wegovy injectable (self-pay), plus $149/mo membership.

When to choose Hims & Hers
Best for fast async onboarding
Patients who want a fast, low-friction async path to a branded GLP-1 prescription with predictable monthly pricing.
Hims & Hers wins on cancellation terms, onboarding experience on the dimensional scoring. The caveat: Patients who wanted Hims's old compounded semaglutide tier or who need insurance-routed branded access. Compounded is closed to new patients. Note also: Settled with Novo Nordisk March 9, 2026 over compounded semaglutide marketing
When to choose Ivim Health
Best for branded or compounded optionality
Buyers who want optionality between branded and compounded GLP-1 from one program.
Ivim Health wins on pricing transparency, medication options, member reviews and runs $99/mo cheaper than Hims & Hers at the entry tier ($200 vs $299). Over a year that's $1,188 you keep. The caveat: Anyone allergic to multi-month prepay tiers or who wants pure flat monthly billing.
If cost is your main filter
Ivim Health is the cheaper monthly: $200 all-in vs $299 for Hims & Hers. That's $99 a month or $1,188a year. The 12-month math matters most if you're planning to maintain on GLP-1 long-term. If you're running a 3-month trial, the $297 delta is small against the cost of stopping early on the wrong dose. Insurance changes the picture: if either program runs prior auth and your plan covers Wegovy or Zepbound, branded with copay can beat both cash-pay totals.
If lock-in is your main filter
Hims & Hers (month-to-month) and Ivim Health (4-mo minimum) sit at different cancellation tiers. If you're first-time on a GLP-1 and unsure how you'll tolerate it, Hims & Hers's easier cancellation is the safer trial.
