Quick verdict
LifeMD is the better pick for most patients on overall scoring. Mature publicly-traded telehealth with rare direct-supply deals from both Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. Reasonable $79/mo membership floor, intro Wegovy/Ozempic at $199 for first two fills, and Zepbound vials from $349. Insurance navigation included. Money-back guarantee if member doesn't lose 10%+ in a year.
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.
