SkinnyRx publishes no rate for 3-month term, 6-month term, 12-month term; Hims & Hers 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 An unpublished term is not necessarily unavailable — it is unpriced in public, which you can only resolve by asking.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 $3,588 on SkinnyRx and $8,364 on Hims & Hers. 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 them, so the maintenance rate stands in for the missing steps rather than a number the company has stated.
Value Scores are 67.3 for SkinnyRx and 27.5 for Hims & Hers, against a tirzepatide category floor of $169. SkinnyRx leads by 39.8 points, driven mostly by price.

Where the two programs differ
All-in monthly
SkinnyRx is cheaper month to month — $299 against $697, a gap of $398 every month, or $4,776 across a year if both rates hold.
Cancellation terms
Cancellation differs: SkinnyRx states Cancel before renewal, while Hims & Hers states Cancel anytime. Read this next to the twelve-month figures — a prepaid discount and a restrictive refund policy are the same decision.
Commitment
SkinnyRx asks for Month-to-month; Hims & Hers asks for Membership month-to-month ($39 first month). 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
SkinnyRx 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.
Evidence status
The two prices are not equally well evidenced. SkinnyRx's figure is provider-stated and Hims & Hers's is reported. SkinnyRx 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 $3,588 for SkinnyRx and $8,364 for Hims & Hers. SkinnyRx is lower by $4,776 — a figure worth checking against the cancellation terms below, because a prepaid year is only cheaper if you stay on it.
What each record says
SkinnyRx Official site
A straightforward no-membership program: $199/month semaglutide, $299/month tirzepatide, flat at every dose.
It does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy; the record shows Partner pharmacies, so who actually makes the medication cannot be independently verified; commitment terms are Month-to-month; cancellation is Cancel before renewal; availability is stated as Most US states.
Evidence: provider-stated — taken from the provider's own published pages; checkout capture pending, captured . Source — skinnyrx.com pricing capture 2026-08-05
Watch: Provider-stated; checkout capture pending.
Hims & Hers Official site
After settling with Novo Nordisk on March 9, 2026 and exiting compounded semaglutide for new patients, Hims & Hers now runs a branded-only GLP-1 service: Wegovy injection $299/month, oral Wegovy $249/month, and Zepbound $399/month, on top of a $149/month membership ($39 first month) plus $5 shipping.
It names its compounding pharmacy — Brand fulfillment (Wegovy, oral Wegovy, Zepbound) + partner pharmacy, recorded as Brand channel — which can be checked against state board licensing and FDA inspection records before you order; commitment terms are Membership month-to-month ($39 first month); cancellation is Cancel anytime; availability is stated as 50 states.
Evidence: reported — sourced from dated third-party reporting; first-party capture pending, captured . Source — Post-settlement pricing reported May–Jun 2026 (Wegovy $299 / oral $249 / Zepbound $399 + $149 membership + $5 shipping); first-party checkout capture pending
Watch: The membership is the number that moves the math: a $299 Wegovy pen becomes ~$453/month all-in. Compare against going to NovoCare or LillyDirect directly.

Evidence may be upgraded. Hims & Hers carries a price we have not captured at checkout. A capture would move the evidence term and could reorder these two without any price changing.
Which one suits which reader
On the lowest standing monthly rate for tirzepatide, SkinnyRx Official site wins this matchup.
