• Hims anxiety and depression medication plans start at $49 a month. The price includes the provider evaluation, unlimited follow-ups and messaging, and the medication. Hims says these plans are paid upfront in full.
• Each Hims treatment is a separate subscription with its own price. For what Hims will and will not prescribe for ADHD and anxiety, see our Hims Adderall guide. Generic Viagra starts at $22 a month, finasteride at $22, testosterone at $99 a month on a 10-month prepaid plan, and weight loss medication at $149 a month.
• Weight loss is the only category with a separate membership fee: $39 for the first month, then $149 a month in addition to the medication. Hims does not accept insurance, Medicare or Medicaid.

The monthly price is only part of the Hims bill. Each condition is sold as a separate subscription, and some plans require a larger upfront payment even when the cost is shown as a monthly amount.

For anxiety and depression, a licensed provider reviews a free online assessment and may prescribe one of eight generic antidepressant or anti-anxiety medications for home delivery. Plans start at $49 a month, but the plan length and full amount due appear at checkout after the online visit. Hims does not accept insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, so that checkout total is what you pay. If that rules Hims out, our Hims competitors guide compares services that bill insurance.

My practical advice is to focus on the amount due today, not only the monthly equivalent.

How much is a Hims subscription?

There is no single Hims subscription price. The cost depends on the product and the subscription plan you choose, which is also how Hims describes its pricing in the fine print.

Prices are current as of September 25, 2026, based on Hims’ category and product pages. Our Hims ED review covers the erectile dysfunction plans in more detail.

For context, Hims averaged $92 in monthly revenue per subscriber across all categories in the second quarter of 2026.¹

The $49 mental health plan

Hims lists eight generic medications for anxiety and depression: bupropion XL, buspirone, citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline and venlafaxine. The sertraline and escitalopram pages each show $49 a month. Hims does not publish whether any of the other six cost more.

The subscription includes the provider evaluation, unlimited follow-ups and medication adjustments, unlimited provider messaging, and the medication itself if one is prescribed. Hims’ terms roll the platform fee, the pharmacy’s drug charge and the medical group’s provider charge into one subscription price.²

Hims also promotes a Starter Plan, but it does not publish the price or plan length.

Hims treats anxiety and depression only. It does not prescribe controlled substances, so Xanax and Adderall are not available, and it does not offer talk therapy. Our Hims mental health review explains what the medication service includes.

Does Hims have a monthly fee?

Only the weight loss program has a separate monthly fee. The Weight Loss Membership costs $39 for the first month and then renews at $149 a month. It is billed separately from the medication, does not include or guarantee a prescription, and is required to buy weight loss medication through Hims.

Canceling the medication alone leaves the membership active and charging each month. Canceling the membership also cancels the medication.

Mental health, erectile dysfunction and hair loss subscriptions do not add a membership fee or visit fee, and the assessment is free. Monthly plans generally charge around the same day each month, annual plans charge once a year, and mental health plans are paid upfront.

Extra costs and billing rules

Shipping. Hims‘ mental health and erectile dysfunction pages say prescribed medication ships free. Its general help center lists a standard $5 shipping fee without identifying which products it applies to, and Hims offers no expedited option.

Renewals. Every plan renews automatically until you cancel.² Hims may charge the first renewal early so treatment does not lapse, and it may charge later renewals up to two days early. For the company’s record on billing complaints and oversight, see our article on whether is Hims safe and legit.

Canceling. Make changes at least 48 hours before the next payment. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, and an order that is already processing or has shipped still goes through. Our guide to how to cancel a Hims subscription walks through each step and the refund rules.

Refunds. Hims does not guarantee a refund after the pharmacy processes an order. Partly used periods are refunded only case by case, and Hims accepts no returns.³ The first-month weight loss membership fee is non-refundable.

Restarting. If a mental health subscription has been canceled for more than 90 days, you need a new consultation before treatment can restart. A returning weight loss member may pay the standard rate instead of the first-month price.

Lab fees in three states. In New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island, Quest charges its own lab fee in addition to what you pay Hims.

In July 2026, the FTC, Utah and Los Angeles County sued Hims & Hers. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the company charged for prescriptions almost immediately after the intake form and made cancellation difficult. The case is pending, the claims are unproven, and Hims calls them baseless.⁴

Ways to pay less for Hims

Hims does not bill insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Its terms also bar customers from submitting a claim for Hims services to any payer.² Hims says its prices are 50% to 80% below retail.

For HSA and FSA funds, Hims publishes guidance only for weight loss. It says GLP-1 medication kits are eligible for reimbursement and recommends paying by card, then submitting the receipt.⁵ Hims does not publish a position on mental health plans. IRS rules count prescribed drugs and psychiatric care as medical expenses,⁶ but reimbursement of a Hims receipt depends on your plan administrator, so check before relying on it.

Hims lists no financial aid or income-based pricing. The plan length can make a large difference in the amount due. For example, the advertised $99 monthly testosterone price requires 10 months paid upfront.

Generic options can also cost much less than brand-name medication. Sildenafil starts at $4 per use, compared with branded Viagra from $135. The weight loss membership begins at $39. Klarna financing is available on eligible plans, with Klarna’s terms and any interest added to the cost.

With mental health benefits, an in-network service may cost less than a cash plan. Talkiatry accepts insurance only, has no self-pay option, and says most patients pay $30 or less per visit after insurance.

Is Hims worth the money?

For a cash-pay patient taking a generic antidepressant, the advertised Hims mental health price is lower than the cash prices cited below for in-person psychiatry and Brightside. At $49 a month, 12 months totals $588 with medication included. Your actual bill depends on the plan offered at checkout.

That makes the checkout total the most useful number to compare, rather than the headline monthly price.

In-person psychiatry without insurance costs more per visit. Talkiatry’s 2024 guide places a first evaluation at $300 to $500 and follow-ups at $100 to $300.⁷ One evaluation and three follow-ups at the low end total $600 before any pharmacy cost. Medicare’s 2026 national payment is $177.36 for a new-patient office visit and $95.19 for a follow-up.

Brightside also offers psychiatry to cash-pay patients. Its psychiatry plan costs $95 a month, and mailed prescriptions add $15 per fill, bringing the cost to $110 with one fill a month. Unlike Hims, Brightside accepts insurance, with an average $25 copay per session, accepts HSA and FSA cards directly, and offers therapy for $299 a month or $349 with psychiatry.

Access may matter as much as price. Researchers posing as new patients contacted 948 psychiatrists across five states in mid-2022. Only 18.5% had room for a new patient. Among those who did, the median wait was 67 days for in-person care and 43 days for telepsychiatry.⁸ Hims says its psychiatric providers responded about 12 hours after intake on average, based on its own 2022 to 2023 data, and the assessment takes about 10 minutes.

Hims is limited to anxiety and depression and does not offer therapy, so anyone who needs other care must use another service. With insurance and a met deductible or low copay, an in-network psychiatrist may cost less. Hims may fit someone paying cash who wants generic medication delivered by mail.

What users say about Hims billing

Hims has a TrustScore of 2.9 from 9,395 Trustpilot reviews as of September 2026. Cancellation, subscriptions and refunds are among the most common topics.⁹ One-star reviews often describe renewals without notice, difficulty canceling and refunds denied after an order was processed. Positive reviews mention an easy process and quick provider replies.

The Better Business Bureau lists 4,471 complaints against Hims & Hers over three years, including 1,334 closed in the last 12 months.¹⁰ Recent complaints describe orders shipped after cancellation attempts and the non-refundable weight loss membership fee. On user forums, people often report a charge soon after approval, and some say the shipping email was their only renewal notice.

Because Hims may charge a renewal up to two days early, I would set a calendar reminder a full week before each renewal date. That leaves time to act before the 48-hour cutoff.
