Worth knowing

Hims went public via SPAC in 2021 and now serves over 1 million active subscribers.
Ro raised over $900M in funding and built its own pharmacy network to cut out middlemen.
Both platforms use async (text-based) doctor consultations — you rarely video-chat a physician.
Hims offers compounded semaglutide for weight loss, though FDA scrutiny of compounded GLP-1s is ongoing.
Ro Body's GLP-1 program includes a dedicated health coach, which Hims does not currently match.

Hims sells more chewable ED tablets than any other telehealth brand — because apparently gummy everything is the future, even for bedroom performance.
