Alternatives to Hims

Hims is the men's counterpart to Hers, worth comparing if you're researching treatment for a partner. Its current brand-name menu comes with a separate monthly membership, and its September 2025 FDA warning letter concerns earlier compounded-semaglutide marketing.

Read our full Hims review

Hims at a glance

  • Hims offers semaglutide and tirzepatide, including brand-name options.
  • We found a brand-name price for Hims ($298 a month) but no compounded recurring price to quote.
  • Hims: Intake, video or audio appointment depending on your state and assessment.
  • Where it serves: Not available in all 50 states; confirm availability before paying.

Why you might look past Hims

  • An FDA warning letter to Hims dated September 9, 2025 said its compounded-semaglutide claims misleadingly implied equivalence to approved medicines; that letter concerns those claims, not a finding about today's branded products
  • The $149 ongoing membership is separate from medication and does not guarantee a prescription
  • Starting prices are not a promise of your later-dose cost

Who Hims suits

A man comparing brand-name treatment and ongoing app support. Women shopping for their own care should compare Hers and other women's programs first.

Brand-name from $298/mo
