Expert Health vs Hims and Hers: how they compare

8 min read Updated August 2026 US-licensed providers

The short answer

Hims & Hers is a large publicly traded telehealth company that reported $2.35 billion of revenue for 2025 and about 2.58 million subscribers, and it owns its pharmacies and a lab testing facility. Expert Health is a small specialist clinic publishing one all-in price per treatment, from $199 per month for compounded semaglutide. Scale and breadth against published pricing and a narrower catalog is the real trade-off.

Side by side, on facts we could verify

Everything in the Hims & Hers column below is taken from the company's own filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically its Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended 31 March 2026. Where a row says not verified, it means we could not confirm it from a source we are willing to quote, so we have not guessed.

Hims & Hers figures are from its Form 10-K filed 23 February 2026 and its Form 10-Q filed 11 May 2026, retrieved 5 August 2026 from sec.gov. Expert Health prices are as of August 2026 and are subject to change. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

Why the pricing row says not verified. We could not retrieve current consumer pricing from hims.com, forhims.com or forhers.com, because those sites decline automated requests. Rather than repeat a figure from a third-party blog that may be out of date, we have left it blank. Check hims.com for their current prices. A wrong number about another company is worse than no number.

Where Hims and Hers is stronger

This section exists because a comparison page that claims a clean sweep is not worth reading. On several dimensions that genuinely matter to a patient, the larger company wins, and the honest thing is to say which.

Scale and stability. $2.35 billion of revenue in 2025 and roughly 2.58 million subscribers is a different order of business from ours. If you want the reassurance of a large, public, well-capitalised company, that is a real reason to choose one.
Coverage. Their filings state 1,586 medical providers throughout all 50 states as of the end of 2025. Our provider availability varies by state, and there are states where we cannot help you.
They own the supply chain. Wholly-owned pharmacies, a 503B outsourcing facility and a peptide manufacturing facility mean tighter control over fulfilment than a clinic that works with third-party pharmacies, which is what we do.
Integrated lab testing. They own a lab testing facility and offer biomarker panels as part of the platform. We order labs where they are indicated but we do not run our own.
Breadth. Hair loss, skincare, sexual health, menopause and more, across two brands and three countries. We cover a narrower set of goals on purpose, but narrower is narrower.
Brand recognition. Most people have heard of them and have not heard of us. That is not nothing when you are handing your medical history to a website.

Where Expert Health is different

The case for a smaller specialist clinic is not that it out-muscles a company forty times its size. It is that a narrower catalog and a published all-in price are worth something specific.

One published price, medication included. Semaglutide $199/mo ($597 for 3 months), tirzepatide $332/mo ($997 for 3 months), testosterone $129/mo on the 3-month plan ($387) or $150 month to month, sermorelin $199/mo, tesamorelin $332/mo, PT-141 $166/mo, NAD+ $249/mo or $675 one time. No separate membership fee.
A free call with a health specialist before any medical step. No obligation, and no charge if you decide against treatment.
Bloodwork required before testosterone therapy. If your levels come back normal, a provider will not prescribe it.
A narrow catalog we can speak to in detail. Weight, hormones, libido, energy and longevity, rather than everything from acne to anxiety.
Plain labelling of what the evidence supports. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Sermorelin and NAD+ are not FDA-approved for the uses they are marketed for. Tesamorelin is FDA-approved for HIV-associated lipodystrophy only, so body-composition use is off-label.
Provider check-ins every four weeks, included rather than sold as an upgrade.

There is one thing a comparison table cannot show, and we would rather say it plainly than imply it. We are small, and the incentive that comes with being small is that we would rather lose a sale than put someone on a treatment that is wrong for them. That is not a claim about anyone else, and we have no way to measure it against a company of that size. It is why bloodwork gates testosterone here and a provider will decline if your levels are normal, why the evidence for sermorelin and NAD+ is described as thin where it is thin, and why the section above this one is about where Hims and Hers is stronger. Whether that is worth more to you than scale and range is a judgement only you can make.

Our limitations, for symmetry: we do not bill insurance, we do not carry brand GLP-1s, we do not own a pharmacy or a lab, availability varies by state, and a provider may decline to prescribe. Full prices are on the peptide therapy cost guide.

How to decide between them

Neither of these is the right answer for everyone, and the deciding factors are usually practical rather than philosophical.

A large platform like Hims and Hers may suit you better if

You want several conditions handled in one account, for example weight and hair loss and skin
You want integrated biomarker lab panels as part of the service
You live somewhere our providers are not available
The size and public reporting of the company matters to you
You want brand recognition and a long operating history behind your care

A specialist clinic like Expert Health may suit you better if

You want the full price published before you enter payment details
You want one number that already includes the medication, shipping and check-ins
Your goal is specifically weight, hormones, libido, energy or longevity
You want a peptide catalog with the evidence described honestly, including where it is thin
You want a free call with a health specialist before any medical commitment

If you are comparing on price rather than on brand, the useful page is the cheapest way to get semaglutide, which ranks every route including insurance. If you are comparing on process, use the weight loss clinic checklist on both of us.

What we could not verify, and why we left it out

Publishing a comparison means being accountable for every claim in it, so here is what is missing and why.

Any Hims & Hers consumer price. Their consumer sites decline automated retrieval, so we hold no verified figure and state none. Third-party articles quote numbers we cannot confirm, so we have not repeated them.
Whether their consult is included in the price. Not verified, so not stated.
Whether they require bloodwork before prescribing testosterone. Their filings confirm they launched testosterone offerings in 2025 and that they own lab testing capability, but that is not the same as a stated lab requirement, so we make no claim either way.
Their current product lineup at the SKU level. We have used the categories named in their filings rather than guessing at individual products.

Check hims.com directly for their current prices, products and requirements. Everything on this page about them comes from their SEC filings, and both companies change what they offer, so verify before you decide.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Expert Health and Hims and Hers?

Hims and Hers is a large publicly traded telehealth company that reported $2.35 billion of revenue for 2025 and about 2.58 million subscribers as of March 2026, operating across many conditions in three countries with its own pharmacies and lab testing facility. Expert Health is a small US clinic focused on weight, hormone and peptide therapy that publishes one all-in price per treatment. The trade-off is scale and breadth against a narrower catalog and published pricing.

Is Expert Health cheaper than Hims and Hers?

We cannot answer that honestly, because we do not hold verified current pricing for Hims and Hers and will not quote a figure we cannot confirm. What we can tell you is our own: compounded semaglutide is $199 per month or $597 for three months, and that price includes the consult, the medication, shipping and provider check-ins with no separate membership fee. Compare that against their current published prices at hims.com.

Which is bigger, Expert Health or Hims and Hers?

Hims and Hers, by a very wide margin. Its SEC filings report $2,347.6 million of total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2025 and 2,584,000 subscribers as of 31 March 2026, with 1,586 medical providers across all 50 states as of the end of 2025. Expert Health is a small privately held clinic.

Does Hims and Hers own its own pharmacy?

Yes. Its Form 10-K for 2025 describes wholly-owned pharmacies including two licensed 503A pharmacies, along with a licensed 503B outsourcing facility, a peptide manufacturing facility and a laboratory testing services facility. Expert Health does not own a pharmacy and works with licensed, FDA-regulated US compounding pharmacies instead.

Does Expert Health offer the same treatments as Hims and Hers?

Not the same range. Their filings describe offerings across sexual health, weight loss, menopause, testosterone, hair loss and laboratory testing, across two brands. Expert Health covers a narrower set of goals: weight, hormones, libido, energy, longevity and recovery. If you want several unrelated conditions handled in one place, the broader platform is the better fit.

Are both companies using compounded medications?

Both offer access to compounded medications. Hims and Hers states in its 10-K that it offers access to prescription generic, brand-name and compounded medications, including certain sterile compounded medications. Expert Health's GLP-1s and peptides are compounded. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, which is true of any clinic dispensing them.

How do I compare the two on price fairly?

Add everything up. For any clinic, take the medication price, any membership or platform fee, the consult, shipping, monitoring and lab costs, then compare totals at your likely maintenance dose rather than your starting dose. Expert Health publishes one all-in figure per plan, which makes that arithmetic short on our side, and you can do the same exercise from any competitor's published prices.

Which should I choose?

It depends on what you need rather than on which is better. A large platform makes sense if you want several conditions in one account, integrated lab panels, or nationwide provider availability. A specialist clinic makes sense if your goal is specifically weight, hormones or peptide therapy and you want the full price published before you pay. Both are worth checking directly, because both change what they offer.
