Hims sells brand GLP-1s only, and each one requires a Weight Loss Membership billed on top: $39 the first month, then $149 a month. Medication starts at $149 a month for the Wegovy pill, the Ozempic pill or Foundayo, $199 for the Wegovy pen and $299 for Zepbound. The compounded semaglutide it used to sell is no longer listed. FDA sent Hims & Hers Health, Inc. a warning letter in September 2025 over its compounded semaglutide claims.

Is Hims legit?

Hims is a real, operating US company, and the FDA has issued it a warning letter. The letter is summarized at the top of this review. Read what it alleges before you decide, and raise it with the clinician who would prescribe for you. We rate Hims 6.7/10 overall.

Is there a Hims promo or coupon code?

Hims has no code to type in. The current offer: Hims Weight Loss Membership: $39 for the first month, auto-renews at $149/month thereafter (membership billed separately from medication; meds from $149/mo). It applies at checkout on its own. Coupon sites advertising a "Hims promo code" are not a source we can vouch for.

How Hims scores

Six columns, each one computed from something Hims has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.

Value25%

3.0/10

The listed figure is not a comparable monthly price for a named GLP-1 (it may be a membership fee, an insured copay, a per-vial rate or a starting-dose price), so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.

Effectiveness25%

10.0/10

Dispenses orforglipron, semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).

User Experience15%

8.0/10

A price is shown before the questionnaire starts.

Trust & Safety15%

6.0/10

The FDA has issued it a warning letter. It names the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.

What signing up with Hims involves

  3. 3The monthly price includes the medication.
Price shown before you start

In its favor

  • Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
  • The monthly price includes the medication
  • Serves all 50 states
  • Names 5 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not

Against it

  • Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits, coaching
  • The FDA has issued Hims a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out

What Hims charges

Hims lists $149/month for the medication, plus a required membership. A membership is billed on top of the medication at Hims, so read the terms you agree to at checkout before you pay.

  • Wegovy pill: $149/month + membership
  • Wegovy pen: $199/month + membership
  • Zepbound: $299/month + membership
  • Foundayo pill: $149/month + membership

Found, at about $149/month + membership, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.

What Hims dispenses

Hims prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the pair carrying the strongest published outcome data. These are FDA-approved brand-name products rather than compounded preparations, which is the more expensive route and the one where what is in the pen has been reviewed. Brand names vs molecules sorts out which pen holds which drug. The Wegovy pill is priced by dose; what it costs each way you can pay compares the routes.

Safety and disclosure

Hims tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire, that it treats patients in all 50 states, and the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. It also offers clinician messaging between visits. The FDA has issued Hims a warning letter, summarized at the top of this page. A letter flags a problem rather than ruling a seller out, so read what it says before deciding what it means for you. Across the market, the FDA's GLP-1 warning letters are mostly about what sellers said rather than what pharmacies made. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.

Who should look elsewhere

  • You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Hims bills your plan before you start.
  • A seller's regulatory history matters to you more than price. Read the warning letter summarized above before deciding.

It fits if

  • you need access wherever you live
  • reaching a clinician between visits matters to you

Our read

Hims charges $149/month for the medication, plus a required membership. Too few sellers offer the same drug and form to say whether that is cheap or expensive, so judge it on what the package includes. Whatever you decide, read the warning letter summarized at the top of this page first, and raise it with the clinician who would prescribe for you.

The Bottom Line

Hims scores highest on the clinical side (which drugs it prescribes and how it doses) and lowest on price, and the FDA has issued it a warning letter. It charges from $149 a month for the medication, plus a required membership.

Score: 6.7/10Best for: brand GLP-1 pills or pens at published prices, if a monthly membership fee is acceptableFrom: $149/mo + membership

Before you pay Hims

Starting at $149 a month for the medication, plus a required membership. Check today's price, then start the intake.

Where Hims is the wrong choice

No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.

  • If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider WellMedRx (from $49/mo).
  • If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Found.

If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Hims sets more sellers in the same category beside Hims on price, states and what the price includes.

Regulatory notice

Hims has an FDA warning letter on record, dated September 9, 2025

This letter concerns unlawful sale of unapproved and misbranded drugs to united states consumers over the internet (telehealth). A warning letter is public correspondence from FDA, not an adjudication. On its own it establishes no finding of illegal activity, and a company that gets one often answers with corrective action.
