About Hims
Hims is a major men's telehealth brand. Its weight loss offering is compounded semaglutide on a 6-month plan.
Read our full Hims review →About Modern Age
Modern Age charges $500 for an Aging Wellness Assessment, covering a blood draw, at-home tests and a one-hour board-certified clinician review, then $500 for a personalized 6-month Weight Loss Program. GLP-1 medication is not included: if uninsured, branded Ozempic or Wegovy is estimated at $900-1600/mo. The longevity-focused clinic uses FDA-approved branded semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) inside a structured program, and is currently available to residents in 16 states. This is a premium, clinician-led program, not a low-cost compounded subscription.

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
Modern Age
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $900 a month, close to the $997 median for brand-name semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Modern Age
- Baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription
Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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 5.6, above all for knowing which pharmacy fills the vial: it names Apostrophe Pharmacy LLC. Modern Age fits better if semaglutide from $900/month is your priority.
