Zealthy's figure is reported (captured 2026-08-11) and Hims & Hers's is reported (captured 2026-08-11); a status below 'verified' means our independent checkout capture is still pending, so treat the gap as the best current evidence rather than settled fact.

Where the structures genuinely differ
Zealthy carries no membership fee against Hims & Hers's $149 a month — $1,788 a year of structural cost before any medication ships, which is why this site prices everything all-in. On verifiability, Hims & Hers names its dispensing pharmacy — which means the fifteen-minute license-and-records check is possible — while Zealthy's pharmacy is not disclosed on record, the single structural fact this desk weighs heaviest after the FDA's 2026 letters cited exactly that practice.

What our desk is watching on each
Hims & Hers: 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.
Zealthy: The advertised $151 (semaglutide) and $216 (tirzepatide) figures are three-month-supply medication-only rates that exclude the $135 monthly membership — the canonical case for this site's all-in accounting. Bundled ongoing rates: $297/mo semaglutide, $449/mo tirzepatide after discounted first months ($217/$349). Brand-name pens run ~$1,349 cash through the platform.

Questions people ask
Is Hims & Hers or Zealthy 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 Hims & Hers vs Zealthy 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 Hims & Hers and Zealthy cost over a full year of tirzepatide?
On the plans our database holds, a year of tirzepatide runs $6,576 at Hims & Hers and $5,388 at Zealthy — 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.
