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 Thriving Again
Protocols are advertised from $149/mo, with 500+ providers and coverage of all 50 states. Compounded GLP-1 medication arrives as pre-filled syringes, prescribed by state-licensed, board-certified providers; 24/7 messaging support and at-home lab testing come with it. Thriving Again runs a US telehealth platform pitched at premium men's health and optimization, so the weight loss line is one vertical beside peptides and hormone/TRT care. Its compounded products have not been FDA-approved, nor evaluated for quality, effectiveness or safety.

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
Thriving Again
What we like
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Thriving Again
- 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 4.0, above all for knowing which pharmacy fills the vial: it names Apostrophe Pharmacy LLC.
