What Hims charges
Hims lists $199/month. That sits above the middle of the market, which puts the burden on whatever else is in the package.
- Compounded semaglutide — $199/month
- Brand-name tirzepatide — $299/month
The median standing price across the GLP-1 providers we track is about $169/month, so this is a premium, and a premium has to buy something. Check what is bundled before accepting it.
Found dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $149/month, which makes it the honest comparison to run before committing here.
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. Both routes are available: the FDA-approved pen, or a compounded version at lower cost. The distinction is not cosmetic — the approved product has been reviewed for safety, efficacy and manufacturing quality, and a compounded preparation has not.
What we could verify
On the record: it treats patients in all 50 states, it dispenses through an accredited compounding pharmacy, and it names the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. FDA has sent this operator a warning letter, and we flag it at the top of the page. A letter is a disclosure, not a disqualification: read what it actually says before deciding what it means for you. Because the medication is compounded, the named pharmacy is the detail that matters most here — it is the license you can actually look up. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You are optimizing for the twelve-month total rather than the first bill — a flat-rate seller such as CoreAge Rx will usually win that arithmetic.
- You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
- A regulatory record matters to you more than price does — read the warning letter flagged above before deciding.
It fits if
- you need access regardless of where you live
Our read
Hims costs more than the middle of this market. If the extras it charges for are ones you would actually use, that is a defensible trade. If not, the same molecule is available for less. Breeze Meds is the nearest comparison we track, and worth reading alongside this. Whatever you decide, read the warning letter flagged at the top of this page first, and raise it with the clinician you would be prescribing through.
