FDA Warning Letter on Record

What customers say about Hims
On Trustpilot, Hims scores 2.9/5 from 9,684 reviews.
We treat recurring complaints as the useful signal, not the average score: a pattern you can check before you pay is worth more than a star rating. Where the theme is price, note that we re-read Hims's published prices on its own site and date every one on this page.
Read the reviews →How we reviewed Hims
We score every program on the same five criteria, from what its own site publishes: the real all-in price, transparency, care, access and reputation. Commission is not a criterion.
Overall 8.3/10 · prices checked October 31, 2026 · pricing basis: lowest published all-in plan. How each criterion is scored.

- Plan lengths behind 'paid upfront in full'
- Per-dose prices by strength
