Hims & Hers publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; Care Bare Rx publishes none for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term. An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.
A titration year is not twelve months at the maintenance price. Stepping up roughly four weeks per dose before settling at 10 mg/week, the first twelve months work out to $8,364 on Hims & Hers and $2,388 on Care Bare Rx. The ramp is cheaper than the settled rate on whichever program prices by dose, which is why a first-year quote and a steady-state quote are not the same number.
That calculation is partial: Hims & Hers publishes no price at 2 of the 6 doses, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 27.5 for Hims & Hers and 84.9 for Care Bare Rx, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. Care Bare Rx leads by 57.4 points, driven mostly by price.

Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
Care Bare Rx is cheaper month to month — $199 against $697, a gap of $498 every month, or $5,976 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: Hims & Hers states Cancel anytime, while Care Bare Rx states Per provider terms. Read this next to the twelve-month figures — a prepaid discount and a restrictive refund policy are the same decision.
Commitment
Hims & Hers asks for Membership month-to-month ($39 first month); Care Bare Rx asks for Monthly (confirm at enrollment). This is the dimension most likely to change which program is actually cheaper for you, because the lowest rates on both sides are usually attached to the longest terms.
Dose policy
Care Bare Rx charges one price at every dose; Hims & Hers prices by dose. That difference usually matters more than the headline gap, because the tiered program's advertised figure describes the dose you start on, not the dose you settle at.
Membership fee
Hims & Hers charges a membership of $149 a month on top of the medication. That is already folded into the all-in figures above — it is broken out here because a membership is a recurring charge that continues even in a month you skip a shipment.
Shipping
Hims & Hers bills shipping separately at $5; the other includes it.
Twelve-month cost
Over twelve months the totals are $8,364 for Hims & Hers and $2,388 for Care Bare Rx. Care Bare Rx is lower by $5,976 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Evidence status
Both figures carry the same evidence status, reported: sourced from dated third-party reporting; first-party capture pending. Neither is stronger than the other on provenance.
