Questions people ask
Is Fridays or Hims & Hers cheaper in 2026?
The tirzepatide and semaglutide verdict blocks above give the computed answer at the maintenance basis, with the verification status of each figure; the short version is that whichever program's all-in monthly number is lower on this page is cheaper on the evidence we hold today, and both rows carry capture dates so you can judge freshness.
What does Fridays vs Hims & Hers miss that checkout will show?
Taxes, state availability, current promotions, and any dose surcharge introduced after our capture date. Screenshot the order summary before paying — that capture, not any comparison page, is your contract.
Why do you compare at the maintenance dose instead of the starting dose?
Because starter pricing lasts one or two months and maintenance pricing lasts the rest of the year; comparing starts against maintenances is the single most common way GLP-1 comparisons mislead.
What do Fridays and Hims & Hers cost over a full year of tirzepatide?
On the plans our database holds, a year of tirzepatide runs $4,308 at Fridays and $6,576 at Hims & Hers — computed from each program's best published twelve-month route, with promotional figures labeled in the sections above and every number carrying its capture date.
