Compare what you’ll actually use.
Different services, with some shared features. Here’s where each fits.
| What matters | SnapBody | Hims |
|---|---|---|
| Care Model | An AI-based weight-loss coach (Arc) that delivers text-based support and lifestyle guidance, operating independently of medical prescribing.[5] | A clinical telehealth platform providing access to licensed providers for personalized treatment plans and prescription management.[1][2] |
| Medication Services | Does not prescribe medication, replace a prescriber or make dosage decisions.[5] | GLP-1 medication or oral medication kits may be prescribed when a licensed provider finds them appropriate. The oral-kit page states that compounded drug products are not FDA approved or evaluated for safety, effectiveness or quality.[1][3] |
| Progress Tracking | People can send texts, photos, screenshots, weigh-ins and medication updates. Setup includes an AI goal preview and plan before payment; the preview is an illustration, not a promised outcome.[5] | Includes in-app weight tracking features and provides a complimentary smart scale for eligible members to monitor their progress.[1][2] |
| Coaching & Support | Arc provides proactive check-ins, reminders based on shared info, and research capabilities using published medical literature.[5] | Hims documents 24/7 messaging with licensed providers, nutrition and exercise guidance, and a private member community. It also says AI support in its app is rolling out to eligible customers; AI responses are not medical advice.[1] |
| Pricing and billing | Price shown during setup. Check the selected plan and billing terms before paying.[5] | Hims Weight Loss Membership bills membership separately from prescribed medication; a prescription is not guaranteed. Oral-kit offers can have different subscription and upfront-payment terms. Confirm the applicable plan’s current total cost.[1][2][3] |
| Eligibility and availability | Coaching with or without GLP-1 medication. The reviewed product facts do not establish regional availability; confirm access during setup.[5] | The Hims platform lists availability across the 50 US states, but specific weight-loss treatments are not available in every state. Prescription eligibility is determined by a licensed provider; the getting-started page excludes Puerto Rico.[1][4] |
Hims may be your fit if…
Choose Hims if you want a medical evaluation, ongoing provider support, or potential access to prescription weight-loss treatment. A prescription is not guaranteed; provider assessment and treatment availability apply.[1][2]
SnapBody may be your fit if…
Choose SnapBody if you prefer an AI coach in your texting app, want to share photos or screenshots, and value check-ins based on the information you send. Coaching supports people with or without GLP-1 medication.[5]
How they can fit into your routine.
You may choose Hims for clinical care and prescribed treatment while using SnapBody for text-based coaching and your own progress record. SnapBody has no automatic Hims record sync; you can choose to share your own screenshots or reports with Arc.[1][5]
A few useful answers.
Do these services sync medical records automatically?
SnapBody currently has no automatic Hims record sync. You can choose to send your own Hims screenshots or reports to Arc; this does not establish an automatic connection between the services.[5]
Can I get a prescription through SnapBody?
No. SnapBody does not prescribe medication, replace a prescriber or make dosage decisions.[5]
How is Hims priced?
For Hims Weight Loss Membership, the membership fee and prescribed medication are separate charges. Some oral medication-kit prices depend on a longer plan paid upfront. Compare the full plan, medication inclusion and renewal terms, and check Hims for the current offer.[1][2][3]
Does Hims also offer AI support?
Yes. Hims says AI-generated responses in its app are rolling out to eligible customers over time and do not constitute medical advice. A licensed provider remains available. Arc provides AI coaching through text messages; AI alone is not an exclusive difference between the services.[1][5]
