The public site carries no prices. Maven's GLP-1 Care program puts brand-name prescriptions together with on-demand visits from specialists in metabolic and hormone health, adding nutrition and strength support, and wires it into the platform's wider hormone and virtual-clinic services. Maven runs a virtual platform for women's and family health, covering fertility, maternity, menopause and pediatrics, used by 2,300+ employers. GLP-1 Care sells two ways: a Maven Consumer self-pay option, or employer health benefits. It is LegitScript-verified.

Hims
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication
- Serves all 50 states
- Names 4 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits, coaching
- The FDA has issued Hims a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Maven Clinic
What we like
- The monthly price includes clinician visits and coaching
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Maven Clinic
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: medication
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
Our Verdict
Hims wins this one, 6.8 to 5.3, above all for knowing which pharmacy fills the vial: it names Apostrophe Pharmacy LLC. Maven Clinic fits better if coaching bundled into the price rather than sold separately is your priority.
