Hims review
Every GLP-1 price is medication only. The membership is billed separately and cannot be skipped.
The verdict
Hims sells brand GLP-1s only. Wegovy Pen starts at $199 a month and Zepbound at $299. Both figures exclude the Hims Weight Loss Membership. The membership is $39 for the first month, then $149 a month. Medication is not sold without it. The standing cost is $348 for Wegovy Pen and $448 for Zepbound.

Hims is a telehealth company whose weight-loss catalog lists manufacturer products only. The shelf carries Wegovy as a pen and a pill, Zepbound as a vial and a KwikPen, Foundayo, and Ozempic. No compounded GLP-1 is listed. The medication fee is FSA and HSA eligible. The membership fee is not.
Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
A provider reviews an intake and decides what, if anything, to prescribe. The membership includes 24/7 messaging with licensed providers. No clinician or medical group is named on the product pages. The page states the membership does not guarantee a prescription. What the provider reviews is not described beyond medical history.
The membership carries the care: a treatment plan, provider messaging, a care team and weight tracking in the app. A smart scale ships separately if the buyer opts in. Canceling the membership also cancels any active medication plan. Membership and medication are billed as two separate charges.
What happens when the dose goes up?
The Wegovy Pen page publishes the ladder: 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, then 1.7 to 2.4 mg for maintenance. It lists a range up to 7.2 mg. Each price is written "Starts at" or "From". The price at each higher step is not published. Dose adjustments are listed as a membership benefit.
What the price includes
Two charges apply every month. The medication starts at $199 for Wegovy Pen or $299 for Zepbound. The membership adds $149 after a $39 first month. The all-in standing figures are $348 and $448. The higher rungs of either medication are not priced on the page.
What it claims, and what it cites
Every GLP-1 here is an FDA-approved manufacturer product, not a compounded preparation. Hims states it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Eli Lilly. Ozempic is listed with a note that it is approved for type 2 diabetes and prescribed only to eligible patients.
Where it holds up, and where it does not
- Strength: Only FDA-approved brand products are sold
- Strength: The Wegovy Pen dose ladder is published in milligrams
- Strength: The membership requirement is stated beside every price
- Strength: The medication fee is FSA and HSA eligible
- Limitation: Every medication price excludes a $149 membership
- Limitation: Prices above the starting dose are not published
- Limitation: Canceling the membership cancels the medication
- Limitation: No clinician or medical group is named
- Limitation: The membership fee is not FSA or HSA eligible
What the evidence says about this kind of treatment
The assessment above is about Hims. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.
- Right for
- A buyer set on brand Wegovy or Zepbound who wants care and medication from one account.
- Wrong for
- A buyer comparing medication prices without adding the membership.

- What does Wegovy Pen cost at Hims all in?
- $348 a month at the starting price: $199 for the medication plus the $149 membership. The first month's membership is $39.
- Is a compounded GLP-1 on the Hims shelf?
- No. The weight-loss catalog lists brand products only, and no compounded GLP-1 appears on it.
- Can the medication be bought without the membership?
- No. The footnote under every price states medication is not available without an active membership.
- Is Hims expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?
- Hims publishes a starting figure of $348/mo. Across the 368 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $449 with a median of $189, which puts Hims above the median. The other 20 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
