Zealthy is low-cost entry with insurance routing. Hims & Hers is widest range of formats. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — though on this board it usually is.

Advert against bill. Zealthy advertises $216 and bills $216; Hims & Hers advertises $199 and bills $238. The gaps are different sizes, which means comparing the two on their advertised prices gives you the wrong answer.

What each puts on the record: Zealthy

  • First month advertised at $39.
  • Compounded semaglutide priced from about $151/month.
  • Compounded tirzepatide priced from about $216/month.
  • Where insurance covers branded semaglutide, patient cost can fall to roughly $25/month.

Where it wins: Compounded pricing is competitive without a separate membership charge. Watch for: The widely quoted $25/month is an insured price. Cash payers should plan on $151+ for semaglutide.

What each puts on the record: Hims & Hers

  • Weight-loss membership advertised at $39 for the first month.
  • Compounded GLP-1 injections priced from $199/month.
  • Oral medication kits priced from $79/month.
  • Branded Zepbound offered at $1,899/month.
  • Company has announced oral semaglutide pricing starting around $49/month, with the 1.5 mg dose around $149/month.

Where it wins: One account covers oral, compounded injectable and branded options. Watch for: The advertised entry prices and the membership are separate charges. Add $39/month to whatever medication figure you were quoted.

In each one’s favour

Zealthy.

  • Compounded pricing is competitive without a separate membership charge.
  • Will pursue insurance coverage rather than defaulting to cash pay.

Hims & Hers.

  • One account covers oral, compounded injectable and branded options.
  • Large enough to keep supply steady when smaller sellers run dry.

The desk’s call

  • Pick Zealthy if cost is the binding constraint. Over a year the gap is about $264, which is real money for the same class of medication.
  • Pick Hims & Hers if what it does better matters to you — one account covers oral, compounded injectable and branded options.
  • Ask both which pharmacy compounds the medication and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Neither publishes it.

The verdict

On the board, Zealthy at $216 a month is the more defensible choice on arithmetic alone. Hims & Hers earns its premium only if you will actually use what it does differently. Read the full reviews before deciding: Zealthy and Hims & Hers.
