How we are paid: one company on this page — Coreage Rx — pays us a commission if you sign up through our link. It does not buy a better score, a higher position, or the removal of a single criticism. Our rating method and full disclosure are both public.


Both sell tirzepatide. Hims & Hers costs $238 a month and Coby Health costs $239, a difference of $1 a month or about $12 a year. The other differences matter more than the money if this is your first course.

Hims & Hers is widest range of formats. Coby Health is multi-month value with supplies included. They are not aimed at the same person, and the cheaper one is not automatically the right answer — particularly if this is your first course and you expect a slow titration.

What this means for your titration. Both price the same way as your dose climbs, so the gap between them stays constant the whole way up the ladder.
