| Plan term | Hims & Hers | NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month to month | $453 | $349 | NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) by $104 |
| Settled dose | Hims & Hers | NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.25 mg | $5,436 | $4,188 | $1,248 apart |

Hims & Hers publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) 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 An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.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 2.4 mg/week, the first twelve months work out to $5,436 on Hims & Hers and $4,188 on NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy). 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 3 of the 5 doses, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 23.9 for Hims & Hers and 37.4 for NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy), against a semaglutide category floor of $87. NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) leads by 13.5 points, and the margin comes from structure rather than price alone.
| Program | Price /70 | Evidence /15 | Dose /10 | Membership /5 | Total /100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hims & Hers | 13.4 | 10.5 | 0 | 0 | 23.9 |
| NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) | 17.4 | 15.0 | 0 | 5 | 37.4 |
Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) is cheaper month to month — $349 against $453, a gap of $104 every month, or $1,248 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: Hims & Hers states Cancel anytime, while NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) states No subscription lock. 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); NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) asks for None. 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.
Evidence status
The two prices are not equally well evidenced. Hims & Hers's figure is reported and NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy)'s is verified. NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) rests on the stronger of the two, and the Value Score below reflects that — evidence quality is worth fifteen points and is not a tiebreaker we apply after the fact.
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 $5,436 for Hims & Hers and $4,188 for NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy). NovoCare Pharmacy (Wegovy) is lower by $1,248 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
Dose policy
Both price by dose, so both advertised figures understate the cost of a titration year. Compare the ladders above rather than the headline rates.
