How Much Does Hims Cost?

Hims currently starts at about $15 per month for topical minoxidil, $22 per month for oral finasteride or generic sildenafil, and $49 per month for psychiatric medication, while weight-loss care can start at $188 for the first month and $298 per month afterward when using one of the lowest-priced $149 medications. Hims does not have one membership price covering every service. Hair loss, erectile dysfunction, mental health, skincare, and weight loss use different products and billing structures.

Weight loss is the category where the advertised number needs the most explanation. Hims now charges a separate Weight Loss Membership of $39 for the first month and $149 per month thereafter. Medication is extra. Current GLP-1 medication listings start at $149 per month, so a “from $149/month” medication does not create a $149 Hims bill.

Hims is a telehealth platform connecting users with licensed healthcare providers and, where appropriate, prescription treatment. Depending on the category, the recurring payment can include medication, provider access, shipping, and subscription services. Prescription eligibility and the treatment selected are determined by a healthcare provider, so an advertised starting price does not guarantee that a particular drug or plan will be prescribed.

Article Highlights

The hair category has one of the widest low-cost selections. Hims’ current hair-loss treatment menu lists minoxidil serum from $15 per month, foam from $19, finasteride from $22, several finasteride/minoxidil combinations from $35, and the Hair Power Pack from $60 per month. The actual checkout amount depends on the product and subscription plan selected.

Sexual-health pricing is similarly product-specific. The current ED treatment menu lists generic sildenafil from $22 per month, generic tadalafil from $24, sildenafil and tadalafil chews from $30, and several combination products beginning around $35-$39 per month. Some treatments are priced per use instead of purely by month, so two low headline prices are not automatically comparable.

Mental-health care has also changed from older Hims pricing that centered on a $99 messaging-therapy plan. The current mental-health treatment page advertises prescription psychiatry medication from $49 per month, with provider messaging and dosage adjustments included when prescribed. This is medication management, not a promise of unlimited psychotherapy sessions.

What You’re Paying For

Most Hims prescription categories combine several pieces into the recurring subscription price. The charge can cover the platform, provider services, medication fulfilled through a participating pharmacy, and shipping where stated. Over-the-counter products can have a different purchase structure.

Weight loss is the major exception. Hims’ current subscription terms explicitly separate the Weight Loss Membership from the Medication Plan. For other prescription products fulfilled through Hims’ participating pharmacies, the prescription cost is normally included in the total subscription charge. For weight loss, the membership and medication are separate recurring charges.

Skincare spans both prescription and ordinary retail products. The current Hims skincare storefront lists a cleanser at $15, moisturizer at $18, Goodnight Wrinkle Cream at $24, and Vitamin C Serum at $33. Customized prescription acne and anti-aging treatments require provider review, so their final price should be checked at the treatment-selection stage rather than inferred from the over-the-counter products.

Why Weight Loss Costs More

Hims changed its weight-loss billing model in 2026 by separating ongoing clinical membership from medication. The current weight-loss price list advertises Wegovy Pill, Foundayo Pill, and Ozempic Pill from $149 per month for medication alone. Wegovy Pen and Ozempic start at $199 per month, while Zepbound Vial and Zepbound KwikPen start at $299 per month. The page also lists some branded options substantially above those starting figures.

Every one of those medication prices requires an active membership. The membership is $39 for the first month, then automatically renews at $149 per month. Hims states that the medication price does not include the membership and that having a membership does not guarantee a prescription.

The membership pays for the clinical-service side of the program rather than the drug itself. Hims describes it as including provider evaluation, ongoing check-ins, medication and dosage adjustment visits when needed, Care Team support, provider messaging, and other weight-management tools. The current membership FAQ confirms that prescribed medication is billed separately, either monthly or upfront according to the medication plan.

The $149 Price That Becomes $298

The lowest advertised weight-loss medication provides the clearest example of why the medication price and real bill should be separated. A $149 medication plus the first-month $39 membership produces a month-one cost of $188. Starting in month two, the $149 medication plus the regular $149 membership creates a recurring cost of $298 per month.

Keeping both at those starting prices for 12 months produces a calculated first-year Hims cost of $3,466. The arithmetic is $188 for month one plus 11 months at $298, or $3,278, for a total of $3,466.

A $199-per-month medication changes that calculation to $238 for the first month and $348 per month after that. Twelve months at those inputs equal $4,066. At the $299 medication tier, the bill becomes $338 in month one and $448 per month afterward, or $5,266 over the first year if pricing and treatment remain unchanged.

These are pricing scenarios, not treatment recommendations. Eligibility, drug choice, dose, availability, and continued prescribing are medical decisions made by the treating provider.

Renewals, Refunds, and Insurance

Recurring billing deserves attention before choosing a multi-month or monthly plan. Hims says users should make subscription changes at least 48 hours before the next order date. Its current cancellation instructions also warn that canceling a subscription does not cancel an order that has already entered processing or shipped.

Under Hims’ current terms, subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least two days before the applicable renewal-processing date. Partially used subscription periods are not routinely refundable. Weight-loss plans have additional rules because the membership and medication are distinct subscriptions. Canceling only a weight-loss medication can leave the separate membership active and billing.

Insurance is another place where the old pricing model was misleading. Hims currently says it does not accept insurance for products and services purchased through the platform. Hims does say eligible weight-loss treatment expenses can qualify for FSA or HSA reimbursement. Using an FSA or HSA is not the same as Hims billing a health insurer.

Promotional prices should also be separated from normal recurring prices. Hims’ current promotion terms describe offer-specific discounts with their own minimum purchases, exclusions, dates, and renewal rules. There is no current basis for assuming that every customer receives a permanent 10% discount for buying two categories or 15% for buying three.

Hims vs. Ro and Keeps

Comparisons work best when the same medication and billing cadence are matched. Hims currently starts oral finasteride at $22 per month. Ro’s current finasteride pricing starts at $20 per month on a three-month plan, $18 per month on a six-month plan, and $16 per month on a 12-month plan.

Keeps currently advertises generic finasteride at $25 per month and minoxidil at $10 per month on its current hair-loss pricing page. It also lists the first provider consultation as free and later visits at $5 each. Price alone does not identify the better treatment choice, but these like-for-like figures are far more useful than comparing a broad Hims range of $15-$2,000+ with another platform’s equally broad range.

The payment cadence matters too. A lower monthly equivalent may require committing to a longer supply. Before switching providers to save a few dollars per month, compare the amount charged at checkout, refill interval, shipping, consultation charges, cancellation deadline, and whether the exact formulation is the same.

Three Real Hims Budgets

Case 1: basic oral finasteride. At the current Hims starting price of $22 per month, 12 months equal $264. This calculation assumes the starting rate remains available and the same treatment continues for the entire year.

Case 2: psychiatric medication. A plan staying at the advertised $49-per-month starting level for one year costs $588. Provider evaluation determines whether medication is appropriate and which prescription is selected.

Case 3: lowest current weight-loss medication tier. The first month is $188 from the $39 introductory membership plus $149 medication. Months two through 12 total $3,278. The calculated first-year cost is $3,466, more than 13 times the annual $264 finasteride example because weight loss carries both a clinical membership and medication charge.

When Hims Makes Financial Sense

Hims can make financial sense when the user values online provider access, home delivery, a predictable recurring treatment arrangement, and avoiding a separate office visit for a condition suitable for telehealth. It is less compelling when a local pharmacy can fill the same generic medication for materially less or when insurance would pay for conventional in-network care that Hims bills on a cash basis.

Makes sense if:

• You want one online workflow for provider review, prescription management, and delivery.
• The Hims price for your exact medication is competitive with local cash pharmacy pricing.
• You value unlimited provider messaging included with the relevant treatment.
• You understand the billing cadence and expect to continue treatment long enough to use the purchased supply.

Does not make sense if:

• Your insurance covers the same treatment inexpensively through an in-network provider and pharmacy.
• You are choosing weight loss based only on the medication’s advertised $149 starting price without adding the membership.
• You frequently change or stop subscriptions after orders have already entered processing.
• A longer prepaid plan lowers the monthly equivalent but creates an upfront payment you would rather avoid.

What We Verified

• Checked: FDA states that compounded medications are not FDA-approved, meaning the agency does not review their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. Some Hims categories include compounded treatment options, while others use FDA-approved drugs.
• Confirmed: FDA has issued a specific warning about compounded topical finasteride, noting that there are no FDA-approved topical finasteride products and that adverse events have been reported. Oral finasteride is a different formulation and is FDA-approved for certain uses.
• Cross-referenced: Hims’ current public pricing shows that generic hair-loss and ED medications can remain near the $20-$25 monthly level, while its weight-loss program uses a separate clinical membership that can materially change the real recurring payment.

Related Telehealth and Weight Loss Costs

Someone comparing Hims weight-loss spending with a dedicated behavioral program can check the cost of Noom, which uses a different subscription and coaching model. Another non-GLP-1 comparison is the cost of GOLO, where supplements and program materials make up the bill rather than prescription telehealth care.

For a more service-heavy weight-management option, the monthly cost of Livea provides another comparison. These alternatives should not be judged against Hims using the monthly price alone because they do not necessarily include the same medical evaluation, prescription medication, or provider access.

How much does Hims weight loss really cost?

The Weight Loss Membership costs $39 for the first month and $149 per month afterward. Medication is separate and currently starts at $149 per month, making the lowest simple combined example $188 in month one and $298 per month thereafter.

Does Hims take insurance?

No. Hims currently states that it does not accept health insurance for products and services purchased through its platform. Certain eligible weight-loss expenses may be reimbursable through an FSA or HSA.

Can you cancel Hims at any time?

You can request cancellation, but Hims advises doing so at least 48 hours before the next order date. An order already processing or shipped is not automatically canceled when the underlying subscription is stopped.

Is Hims cheaper than Keeps or Ro?

It depends on the exact treatment and billing cadence. For oral finasteride, Hims currently starts at $22 per month, Ro starts at $20 per month on a quarterly plan and lower on longer plans, while Keeps advertises $25 per month. Compare the cash charged at checkout, refill period, consultations, and shipping rather than only the monthly equivalent.
