Hims & Hers vs Ivim Health

Higher scoreRanked #43 · Grade C
Best for: A mother who specifically wants FDA-approved brand medication with the manufacturer's own labeling, and who has done the arithmetic on a $149 monthly membership sitting on top of the drug price.

Ranked #266 · Grade C
Best for: A mother who wants a scheduled conversation with a clinician rather than a questionnaire, is buying brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound rather than compounded, and can commit to a fixed prepaid term with her eyes open about the membership on top.
Visit Ivim HealthThe verdict
Hims & Hers edges out Ivim Health on the Rx-Readiness Score, 69 to 45 (C vs C). A mother who specifically wants FDA-approved brand medication with the manufacturer's own labeling, and who has done the arithmetic on a $149 monthly membership sitting on top of the drug price.
Ivim Health is still a genuine option — the headline price is medication only. Read live on 26 August 2026, Ivim advertises compounded semaglutide from $75 a month and tirzepatide from $133, and every one of those figures sits above the line "+ $74.99 /mo Program fee" — so the real floor is about $150, and you have to prepay four or six months to get it. Its own membership page splits it plainly: medication starting at $75, membership $75, two different charges. Then there is a second disagreement worth knowing about: Ivim's marketing pages start compounded GLP-1s at $75, and its intake application's own code starts them at $249 a month. Neither number comes with a dose ladder, so what a maintenance dose costs is simply not published. Against that, the catalog is genuinely broad — brand Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Saxenda now sit next to the compounded lines, and the oral Wegovy Pill is posted at $149 a month. The off-ramp is the hard part: the program FAQ says cancellation is not available once a program has started, the Terms charge $100 or $50 in restocking fees on the unshipped remainder, and anything dispensed is non-refundable. No state list and no compounding pharmacy appear anywhere on the site, and it holds an FDA warning letter dated 20 February 2026 saying the labels in its own product photos implied Ivim compounds these drugs when it does not. Weigh the six readiness factors below against your own priorities.

Hims & Hers
Ranked #43 · Grade C
What we like
- Entirely FDA-approved brand product now — Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and the new Foundayo tablet, not compounded
- Two oral routes that are FDA-approved rather than compounded: the Wegovy Pill and the new Ozempic Pill, both posted at from $149 a month
- Every price is visible on one open page before you enter anything, each tagged "Membership required" so the structure is not hidden
The caveats
- Every posted price is medication only: a required $149/month membership is billed separately, which roughly doubles the real cost
- The $39 first month auto-renews at $149, so the number you sign up at is not the number you keep paying
- Mounjaro and one of two Zepbound listings are posted at $1,899 a month on the same page as Zepbound vials at $299, with no explanation of the difference
Ivim Health
Ranked #266 · Grade C
What we like
- A rare published term ladder — six, four and two-month rates for both molecules, side by side, before any form
- The membership fee is stated openly at $74.99 a month rather than appearing at checkout, and the first month is advertised free
- Brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Saxenda sit on the same menu as the compounded lines, so switching does not mean re-signing
The caveats
- Every advertised price is medication only — a $74.99 monthly membership is charged separately, which roughly doubles the cheapest figure
- No price is available month to month: the rates shown require a two, four or six-month prepaid program
- No dose ladder and no maintenance rate for standard dosing appear anywhere, so what you pay once you titrate up is unpublished
