Hims & Hers
A household-name telehealth brand, now selling only brand-name GLP-1s: Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Foundayo, with named medical groups and pharmacies. A $149 monthly membership sits on top of every medication price, and it holds two open FDA warning letters and a pending FTC lawsuit.

The format buffet (compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as a weekly injection or a daily tablet, from $99 first month on the injectables) but the ongoing rate is published nowhere, and a thin independent track record with support complaints keeps its trust score in check.
