The market
What Hims weight loss actually costs
Two numbers, not one. Every price Hims advertises is medication only, and a membership you cannot opt out of sits on top of it.
The two numbers
Every price on the Hims weight-loss page is medication only. The membership is separate, required, and renews.
An active Hims Weight Loss Membership is required ($39 for the first month, auto-renews at $149/month thereafter). Membership is billed separately and does not include or guarantee a prescription. Medication is not available without a membership.
That last sentence is the one to read twice. You pay the membership to be reviewed. Whether a prescription follows is a clinician's decision, and the fee is not contingent on it.
The medication prices
From their own page, on 23 September 2026:
| Per month | |
|---|---|
| Wegovy Pill | from $149 |
| Wegovy Pill, microdosing plan | from $149 |
| Wegovy Pen | from $199 |
| Ozempic Pill | from $149 |
| Ozempic | from $199 |
| Zepbound Vial | from $299 |
| Zepbound KwikPen | from $299 |
| Foundayo Pill | from $149 |
| Zepbound | $1,899 |
| Mounjaro | $1,899 |
What it comes to
| Month 1 | Month 2 onward | |
|---|---|---|
| Wegovy Pill | $188 | $298 |
| Wegovy Pen | $238 | $348 |
| Zepbound Vial | $338 | $448 |
Worth putting beside it: on the same day, Novo Nordisk's own pharmacy sold the Wegovy pen at $349 a month with no membership at all, and the pill from $149. On the pill, Hims is $149 plus $149; NovoCare is $149.
That is not a scandal — a membership buys clinician access, messaging and follow-up, which direct-from-manufacturer does not. But it should be a choice made with both numbers visible, and one of them is in a footnote.
What changed in 2026
Hims settled with Novo Nordisk in March 2026 and stopped selling compounded semaglutide. Everything on the platform now is brand-name. That is a meaningful improvement on the previous arrangement, and it is also why the prices above are what they are: the compounded era was cheap because it was not the approved product.
The $1,899 lines for Zepbound and Mounjaro are the same medicines outside a manufacturer savings route. They are a useful reminder of what these drugs cost when nothing is subsidising them.
Other things to know
- No insurance. Hims weight loss is cash-pay only.
- A microdosing plan exists for the Wegovy pill. Microdosing is not an FDA-approved dosing strategy; it is a prescriber's choice.
- Ozempic and Mounjaro are diabetes products. Prescribed for weight, that is off-label use, and their own page says eligibility is a clinician's determination.
How to compare any program
Three questions, and they work on us too:
- What is the membership, separately from the medicine?
- Is it the branded product or a compounded version?
- What happens in week five when the nausea starts — who answers?
