If you came here for a Hims alternative for weight loss after Hims stopped offering compounded GLP-1, the short answer is this: the best value alternative for compounded semaglutide in 2026 is pru, whose medication is about $60 a month, your price per month when you start on a 3-month plan, the lowest medication price of any compounded provider we found and passed through at cost.

This guide is about GLP-1 weight care specifically, not Hims hair or ED products. Hims exited compounding in 2026 and now sells brand-name drugs plus a separate $149 monthly membership, which is why so many people are looking to switch their weight-loss care. Real GLP-1 alternatives still compounding include Mochi Health, Found, and Henry Meds, each with genuine strengths. This guide compares them the way that matters, starting with the medication cost and putting every fee on the table.

The bottom line: the best Hims alternative for compounded GLP-1

For compounded semaglutide, pru's medication is about $60 a month, your price per month when you start on a 3-month plan, and it is passed through at cost with no markup. That is the lowest medication price of any provider we found. Membership is separate: $50 a month billed annually for unlimited access to the pru platform and clinician messaging.

The rest of the field still compounding runs from roughly $99 to $397 a month all-in, with most providers between $199 and $299. Several of them advertise a low medication price and then add a separate membership fee on top, so the number you first see is not the number you pay.

WHY THIS MATTERSThe provider you were on is not the only place to get care, and looking for a better fit is a smart, responsible move. The question is which alternative gives you the full price in one number, and which hides part of it in a second fee.

Why people are looking for a Hims alternative now

Hims built a large, well-known telehealth brand, and for a while it offered compounded GLP-1 medications at accessible prices. That changed in 2026. After settlements with the drug makers, Hims exited compounded GLP-1 and moved to brand-name drugs, sold alongside a separate $149 monthly membership. Hims was not alone: Ro, WeightWatchers, and Sesame also stopped compounding GLP-1s in 2025 and 2026 and shifted to brand-name products.

For people who chose compounded care specifically for its lower cost, that shift is the reason to look elsewhere. Brand-name GLP-1 medications carry a different price, and stacking a $149 membership on top adds a recurring fee that did not used to be there. None of this reflects poorly on Hims. It is a large company responding to legal settlements. It simply means the compounded lane, and its lower price, now lives with a smaller set of providers.

THE HIDDEN SECOND FEEWatch for a low medication price paired with a separate membership. Hims now charges for the brand drug plus a $149 monthly membership. Eden lists $99 for the medication, then adds a required $99 monthly membership. pru prices the medication at cost, about $60 a month, and its membership is a separate, unlimited at-cost fee, not a markup layered on the drug.

The alternatives, one by one

Each of these is a real, working option for compounded GLP-1 in 2026. Here is where each one is strong, and where pru sits next to it.

  • Mochi Health is the closest on price, starting from about $99 a month, and it pairs medication with coaching and a membership program that some people value. Mochi is a solid low-cost option; pru's medication comes in lower at about $60 a month when you start on a 3-month plan, shown as its own at-cost line rather than inside a bundle, with membership separate.
  • Found is a well-built program that combines medication with behavior-change coaching and a polished app, typically $199 to $299 all-in. If you want structured coaching alongside the medication, Found is a genuine strength. pru is focused and at-cost, so if the medication and clinician oversight are what you are paying for, pru is the leaner number.
  • Henry Meds is one of the larger, more established compounding telehealth providers, with broad state availability, a simple flat all-inclusive price that folds in the visit and shipping, and a fast, low-friction start, running $247 to $397 all-in depending on prepay. If you want a big, widely available name with everything in one predictable bundle, Henry is a sensible pick. pru's difference is the at-cost model, which itemizes the medication and keeps the all-in number lower.
  • Eden offers a wide menu of treatments beyond GLP-1 and a low $99 headline medication price, which is appealing if you want breadth and expect to use the membership perks. Its required $99 monthly membership sits alongside the medication, so the real all-in cost is about $198, and knowing both fees up front makes Eden a fair, straightforward option. pru also has a membership, but it prices the medication at cost, about $60 a month, and its membership is unlimited and at-cost, so stacking more than one peptide never adds a markup on any of them.

The pattern across the field is the same: most providers are fine, and the difference is not safety, it is how the price is packaged. pru is the one built to show you the whole number, at cost, in one line.

What pru is, and how the at-cost model works

pru is a LegitScript-certified telehealth membership platform focused on compounded peptides, including compounded GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide. A licensed physician reviews your history and confirms whether the medication is appropriate for you, or advises against it, and sets your dose. An FDA-registered 503A pharmacy compounds and fills your prescription and documents it with a Certificate of Analysis, so you know what is in the vial.

The pricing is where pru is different. The medication is passed through at the pharmacy's cost with no member markup, and the consult and shipping are shown as their own line items rather than folded into a marked-up subscription. That is how the medication lands at about $60 a month for compounded semaglutide, your price per month when you start on a 3-month plan.

Membership is separate: $50 a month billed annually for unlimited access to the pru platform and clinician messaging, priced at cost, so the savings compound with every vial and you can stack more than one peptide without a markup on any of them.

WHAT PHARMACY-GRADE MEANSpru's compounded peptides are pharmacy-grade: prescribed by a licensed physician and prepared by a licensed 503A pharmacy for you as an individual, documented with a Certificate of Analysis. Pharmacy-grade does not mean FDA-approved, and compounded semaglutide is not the same as a branded drug.

Comparing providers after a switch means you are staying on top of your metabolic health, and that instinct is worth trusting. pru exists to make the smart, proactive choice the accessible one, licensed physicians, pharmacy-grade medication, and at-cost pricing in a single line. See what is available now in the weight loss and metabolism category, or review the at-cost pricing when you are ready to take the next step.

One line to never cross when you switch

When a provider exits and prices shift, the temptation is to look for the cheapest vial anywhere. Do not cross into the grey market to save money. A "research-grade" vial sold online "for research use only" has no prescription, no licensed pharmacy, and no clinician behind it.

Every alternative in this guide, pru included, works the legitimate way: a licensed physician prescribes, a licensed pharmacy compounds, and the product is documented. That is the line that separates real care from an unregulated chemical, and it is the one line worth holding no matter what you pay.

Common questions

Does Hims still offer compounded semaglutide?
No. Hims exited compounded GLP-1 in 2026 after settlements with the drug makers and now sells brand-name drugs alongside a separate $149 monthly membership. If you were with Hims for its compounded option, alternatives still compounding include pru, Mochi Health, Found, and Henry Meds.
What is the cheapest Hims alternative for compounded GLP-1?
By medication cost, pru is the lowest we found: about $60 a month for compounded semaglutide, your price per month when you start on a 3-month plan, passed through at cost with no markup. Membership is separate, $50 a month billed annually for unlimited access. Among all-in providers, Mochi Health is next, from about $99, and most of the rest of the field runs $199 to $299.
Why did Hims and the others stop compounding GLP-1?
In 2025 and 2026 Hims, Ro, WeightWatchers, and Sesame all exited compounded GLP-1s and shifted to brand-name drugs as the FDA declared the semaglutide and tirzepatide shortages resolved. It left the compounded lane to a smaller set of providers, which is why people who chose compounding for its lower cost are now comparing alternatives.
Is a compounded GLP-1 alternative as safe as Hims was?
Safety comes from the process, not the brand. Any legitimate provider, pru included, has a licensed physician prescribe the medication and a licensed pharmacy compound it, documented with a Certificate of Analysis. What to avoid is the grey market: research-grade vials sold with no prescription, pharmacy, or clinician behind them.
How is pru's price so much lower than Hims and the others?
pru runs an at-cost model. The medication is passed through at the pharmacy's price with no member markup, and the consult and shipping are itemized as their own lines rather than bundled into a marked-up subscription. That is how pru's medication lands at about $60 a month for semaglutide, your price per month when you start on a 3-month plan. Membership is separate, $50 a month billed annually for unlimited at-cost access, so the savings compound with every vial and you can stack more than one peptide without a markup.
Are pru's compounded peptides FDA-approved?
No. pru dispenses 503A pharmacy-grade compounded medications, which are prescribed by a licensed physician and prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy for you as an individual. Compounded medicines are legitimate and overseen, but they are not FDA-approved as finished products, and compounded semaglutide is not the same as a branded drug.
How does pru keep peptides affordable?
pru runs on an at-cost model. You pay one flat membership, and the medication is passed through at the pharmacy's price with no member markup. Because pru never marks the medication up, we have every reason to push its price down, not up. As pru grows and orders more, we negotiate lower pricing with our partner pharmacies, and those savings go straight to you. Healthcare pricing is usually hidden and inflated; pru is built to sit on your side of it: transparent, at cost, and fighting to make peptides more affordable as we scale.
Do the savings add up if I take more than one peptide?
Yes, and this is where pru's at-cost pricing saves you the most. Because pru never marks the medication up, every vial is priced at cost, so each peptide you add avoids the markup a typical provider builds in. If a physician has you on more than one peptide, or on a stack, that saving repeats on every vial, all under one flat $50 membership instead of a marked-up price on each. The more your protocol includes, the more the difference adds up, which makes doing it the right way a financially responsible choice, not an expensive one.
