Brand-name only, and priced in the open
Most sellers on these boards sell compounded preparations. Hims does not. Everything it prescribes here is an FDA-approved finished product, which is a different purchase with a different regulatory history behind it.
Four of those products carry a published cash figure on one page: the Wegovy pill, the Wegovy pen, the Zepbound vial and Mounjaro. Publishing the last one is the notable part.
The Mounjaro figure is very large and it is printed without a from, as a flat rate rather than a starting point. Sellers usually hide a number that size behind a quiz. Hims prints it.
The membership is not optional and not small
Every published figure covers medication and nothing else. Hims states plainly that medication is not available without a membership, so a month here is always two charges.
The membership is discounted for the first month and then renews at a standing rate. That standing rate is the same size as the lowest medication figure on the page, which means the cheapest route through Hims costs roughly double what its headline suggests.
Do the addition before comparing Hims with anything else. A medication-only figure placed next to a flat all-inclusive rate from another seller is not a comparison, it is a mistake.
Hims does put the membership terms in the same footnote as the price rather than saving them for checkout. The disclosure is fair. The arithmetic is still yours.
The medication half is not where sellers differ
The Wegovy and Zepbound figures on this page match what several other brand-name sellers in this comparison publish, almost to the dollar.
That is not a coincidence. Brand-name cash pricing for these drugs is set upstream of the telehealth platform, so the medication half of the bill barely moves between one seller and the next.
Which means the membership is the real variable. When you shop brand-name GLP-1s, you are shopping subscriptions, not drug prices. Compare the standing monthly rate and what it takes to reach the lowest version of it.
The all-in first month is not the all-in second month
The discounted first month makes the opening bill look manageable. The second bill is the real one, because the membership renews at its standing rate and the medication charge repeats.
Budget from month two forward. That is the number you will pay for as long as you stay on treatment.
There is no compounded fallback here. If the brand-name total does not work for you, Hims has nothing cheaper to move you to.
Where it operates is not stated
Hims does not publish which states it ships to. No coverage statement appears on the weight-loss page.
For a nationally advertised platform that is a strange omission, and it is not the same as a claim of nationwide service. Confirm your own state before planning around availability.
The pharmacy is not named either. That matters less for a brand-name finished drug than it does for a compounded one, since the product is the manufacturer's, but it is still a gap in what you can check.
Hims's published pricing
| Medication | Price | Verified |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide (brand) | $149/mo"Wegovy® Pill From $149/mo†" with "Membership required". The footnote reads: "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)." | September 2026source |
| Semaglutide (brand) | $199/mo"Wegovy® Pen From $199/mo†" with "Membership required"; the same footnote applies, so the figure is medication only and the $149/month membership is billed separately | September 2026source |
| Tirzepatide (brand) | $299/mo"Zepbound® Vial From $299/mo†" with "Membership required"; medication only, membership billed separately | September 2026source |
| Tirzepatide (brand) | $1899/mo"Mounjaro® $1,899/mo†" with "Membership required" — listed without a "from", medication only | September 2026source |

See Hims's current price →Good fit if
- Readers who want an FDA-approved GLP-1 rather than a compounded preparation and will pay cash for it.
- Buyers who want the expensive brand-name options priced on the page instead of behind an intake quiz.
- Patients who would rather buy medication and clinical support from the same subscription than assemble the two separately.
- People who will add the standing membership rate to the medication figure before comparing Hims against anyone else.
Look elsewhere if
- Anyone shopping on the headline figure. Every price here is medication only, and there is no way to buy medication without the membership.
- Buyers who want one all-in monthly charge. Gala GLP-1 prices its compounded plan as a single inclusive rate.
- Readers who need their state confirmed from the site before starting, since Hims publishes no coverage statement.
- Patients who want a compounded option as a cheaper fallback. Hims sells brand-name products only.
How this review was verified
- Read the weight-loss page at its own source URL and logged all four published cash figures with the date each was read.
- Quoted Hims's own price footnote into the qualifier on every figure, so the medication-only scope and the membership terms travel with each number.
- Recorded the membership as a separate charge rather than folding it into the medication price, because Hims bills it separately and says so.
- Noted the Mounjaro figure as a flat rate, since it is printed without a from while the other three carry one.
- Checked the weight-loss page for a statement of served states and recorded the field as unpublished rather than assuming nationwide coverage.
