Visit Hims & HersThe verdict
Hims & Hers edges out Strut Health on the Rx-Readiness Score, 86 to 81 (B vs B−). Working moms who want a recognizable, phone-native brand with a quick async signup and one clearly posted semaglutide number, and don't need tirzepatide pricing up front.
Strut Health is still a genuine option — the async, needle-optional value play: oral or injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide from a low starting price, no video visit, ~3 days to a script — listed with its February 2026 FDA warning letter in plain view. Weigh the six readiness factors below against your own priorities.

Strut Health
Ranked #11 · Grade B−
What we like
- Fully asynchronous — no video visit or phone call, ~3 days to a first prescription
- Both molecules in oral OR injectable form, from a low starting price with a cancel-anytime, month-to-month plan
- Free shipping and the medication, consult, and physician access rolled into one cash price
The caveats
- February 2026 FDA warning letter (misbranding) — read it before starting
- Maintenance-dose pricing isn't published, so the low 'starting' rate isn't the ongoing cost
- Not available in Louisiana or Mississippi, cash-pay only (no HSA/FSA), and no named pharmacy
Hims & Hers
Ranked #5 · Grade B
What we like
- Slick, phone-native intake you can finish between meetings
- Flat, publicly posted semaglutide price — no dose-tier math
- Mature nationwide operator with a real support stack behind it
The caveats
- Tirzepatide pricing isn't consistently posted, so switching molecules is a question mark
- Compounded only, injection only
- The broader Hims/Hers catalog nudges upsells into a decision that should be one line long
