FDA sent it a warning letter dated Sep 9, 2025 (subject: "Unlawful Sale of Unapproved and Misbranded Drugs to United States Consumers Over the Internet"), and no closeout letter is published.

We earn a commission if you buy through us. That is exactly why the verdict above is computed from the rows below rather than written, and why a seller we cannot vouch for gets a page that says so.

CheckVerdictWhat we found
Independent reviewsUnverifiedNo published review score we are willing to quote. We found no review profile with enough reviews to mean anything. Absence of reviews is not evidence of a problem, but it is one fewer thing you can check.
Advertised price verifiedVerifiedWe read 5 prices from Hims's own page and quote each one verbatim, last checked 30 October 2026. If the number at checkout does not match, that is a discrepancy you can hold them to.
Fees disclosedVerifiedA membership fee of $149/mo applies on top of the medication price, disclosed on their own page. Our ranking already adds it, which is why their position here may differ from a list that quotes the headline only.
What you actually receiveVerifiedDispenses FDA-approved branded medication. That is the strongest answer available to this question, and it is also why the price is higher than the compounded sellers below it.
FDA warning lettersRead thisFDA sent Hims & Hers Health, Inc. dba Hims a warning letter dated Sep 9, 2025 (Unlawful Sale of Unapproved and Misbranded Drugs to United States Consumers Over the Internet (Telehealth)). No closeout letter is published. A warning letter is FDA's statement of alleged violations, not a court finding.
Price stability, trackedUnverifiedWe have only just started tracking them, so we cannot yet tell you whether their price holds after signup.
CancellationVerifiedCancellable without a phone call, per their own published terms.
Medical oversightVerifiedLicensed providers with 24/7 messaging and monthly Care Team follow-ups. A licensed prescriber is not optional for these drugs, and anyone offering to skip that step is the thing this question should actually be worried about.
LegitScript certificationVerifiedCertified by LegitScript, the accreditation body for telehealth pharmacies, and verifiable independently rather than on their say-so: the evidence is their seal served from LegitScript's own servers, carrying a certificate number. Checked 2026-10-30.
Where they shipUnverifiedWe could not verify which states they serve.

Cancelling, refunds and the contract

What Hims’s own terms say, in their words, so you know the exit before you pay.

CancellingOn their site

The FAQ says you can cancel at any time. Cancelling the membership also cancels the medication plan; cancelling only the medication plan leaves the $149 membership running.

“You can cancel anytime, but canceling your membership will also cancel any active medication plan and access to care through the platform.”

Plan details in the fine print

Lines in Hims’s terms, FAQ or checkout that change what you pay or how long you are committed. None of them is hidden, and all of them are easy to miss.

  1. Every price on the page is the medication alone. The membership is a separate charge, $39 the first month and $149 a month after, so the Wegovy pill at $149 costs $188 in month one and $298 a month from month two.

    Their words: 1 quotehims.com · read Oct 30, 2026

    “Price includes medication only, if prescribed. An active Hims Weight Loss Membership is required ($39 for the first month, auto-renews at $149/month thereafter).”

    Weight loss page · hims.com · read Oct 30, 2026

  2. Prices are starting prices. The FAQ says medication can be billed monthly or up front depending on the plan, and the price depends on the prescribed treatment, so the charge at a higher dose is not on the page.

    Their words: 1 quotehims.com · read Oct 30, 2026

    “If prescribed, your medication is billed separately (monthly or upfront, based on your plan), and the price of the medication depends on your prescribed treatment, if eligible.”

The trade-offs

What works

  • FDA-approved brand-name medication only, in pill and weekly injection form
  • The membership includes 24/7 messaging with licensed providers, a personal plan and a smart scale
  • Cancel the membership or just the medication plan at any time, per its FAQ
  • The medication fee is FSA/HSA eligible

What does not

  • The $149/mo membership is billed on top of every medication price
  • Only starting prices are published, so the cost at higher doses is not on the page
  • Not yet available in all 50 states, and the state list is not published
  • Does not bill insurance

Also on the record, and what we could not find

Not published, or not found on Hims’s pages

  • Which states it serves: the FAQ says GLP-1s are not yet available in all 50 states but gives no list
  • The price at each dose above the starting price
  • Which pharmacy fills the prescription
  • Whether shipping is charged
  • The refund terms, which are not on the weight-loss pages we read

Ask before you pay

  • Check that GLP-1s are offered in your state before you pay the $39 first month; the list is not published.
  • Ask for the medication price at the dose you expect to reach, not only the starting price, and add the $149 membership.
  • Remember that cancelling only the medication leaves the membership billing.
