Price transparency
What is disclosed before intake, not a clinical rating.
Hims offers prescription weight management for men, with branded pills and injections plus app-based support. The main pricing catch is a required membership: $39 for the first month, then $149 a month, on top of medication. Its public offer has changed substantially from older compounded-semaglutide subscriptions, so compare the current branded treatment and recurring fees.
Hims does not pay us. We review it so you can compare it with the programs that do. Disclosure
Hims publishes its price before the medical intake — you can see what it costs without handing over your health history first.

The verdict
Hims shows a price before the medical intake, but the advertised figure comes with conditions the headline leaves out, or its own terms don't fully back it up. It ranks 55 of 65 on price transparency.
The score beside Hims's name rates how much it tells you before the medical intake — the price, the pharmacy and the terms — not how cheap it is.

The pharmacy behind the medicine
It does not name its pharmacy. Hims does not publicly disclose which compounding pharmacy fills its prescriptions. That is common and it is not an accusation — but it does mean the one thing you would most want to verify about a compounded medicine is the one thing you cannot.
A compounded drug is mixed to order by a pharmacy rather than manufactured and released as a finished product, so the FDA has not reviewed the specific preparation you are prescribed for safety, effectiveness or quality. That is true of every compounded program, including the highest-scoring ones.
What is on the public record
FDA warning letter
FDA issued a warning letter to Hims & Hers Health, Inc. dba Hims in September 2025. It is on the public record in FDA's warning-letter database.
We link the agency's own index rather than summarize what the letter says. It changes neither where this program sits in our ranking nor whether we are paid for a click to it, and you should know both of those at once.
What else do people ask about Hims?
Is medication included in membership?
No. Medication and membership are separate charges.
What does membership cost after the first month?
It renews at $149 per month after the $39 introductory month.
Can I transfer from another GLP-1 program?
The intake accepts treatment history. A provider decides whether and how treatment can continue.
Is the advertised drug price an all-in quote?
No. Add membership, and confirm the price for the actual medicine and dose prescribed.
