Hims Weight Loss Pricing & Reviews 2026: 12-Month Cost
Hims weight loss cost: $39 first month, then a $149/mo membership plus medication from $149/mo. See the real 12-month total and what's included.
Hims charges for weight care in two parts: a Weight Loss Membership that is $39 for the first month and then auto-renews at $149 per month, plus medication billed separately, with brand-name GLP-1 medication “starting at” $149 per month. Added together, the lowest 12-month total we could calculate from Hims’ own published prices is $3,466, before any higher-dose pricing, which Hims says may vary. Prices below were checked on Hims’ website on October 30, 2026.

The 12-month math
Hims bills monthly, so a year is 12 charges. Because the membership and the medication are billed separately, both must be added. The figures below use only the lowest “starting at” prices Hims publishes; if your prescribed dose is priced higher, your total will be higher.
| Option | Line items | 12-month total |
|---|---|---|
| Hims: brand-name GLP-1 at the starting price | Membership $39 + (11 × $149) = $1,678; medication 12 × $149 = $1,788 | $3,466 (higher doses: not published) |
| Hims: generic liraglutide, 12-month plan | Membership $1,678; medication 12 × $299 = $3,588 paid upfront | $5,266 |
| Elara: injectable semaglutide (compounded), 52-week plan | 13 × $179 every 4 weeks; all-inclusive | $2,327 |
| Elara: injectable semaglutide (compounded), 4-week plan | 13 × $249 | $3,237 |
| Elara: oral semaglutide (compounded), 52-week plan | 13 × $209 | $2,717 |
| Elara: tirzepatide (compounded), 52-week plan | 13 × $269 | $3,497 |
A note on fairness: the brand-name medications Hims lists and the compounded medications Elara’s clinicians may prescribe are different products. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality. This table compares price only, not the medications themselves.

How to cancel Hims
Hims’ help center describes the same steps in the app and on the website: log in, open Subscriptions, choose the subscription, select Manage subscription, then Stop auto-renew on my medication or membership, and follow the prompts. You can stop the medication plan alone and keep the membership active, in which case the membership keeps billing monthly. Canceling the membership also cancels any active medication plan and ends access to care through the platform. Hims’ pages we reviewed did not describe a refund policy.

Who Hims may be a good fit for
- People who specifically want a brand-name medication such as the Wegovy pill, Wegovy injections, or Ozempic through a cash-pay telehealth service.
- People who value round-the-clock messaging; Hims advertises 24/7 access to licensed providers.
- People who like app-based extras: a peer community, in-app weight tracking, partner discounts, and an optional smart scale.
- Existing Hims customers who already use the app for other care and want everything in one account.
- People who want to stop medication without closing the membership, since Hims lets you cancel the two separately.
How Elara is different
Elara is built around one all-inclusive price every 4 weeks rather than a membership plus separately billed medication. That price covers physician review and dose decisions, quarterly metabolic labs at Quest or Labcorp, a certified health coach call every 3 weeks, secure messaging during business hours, refills, shipping, and medication if prescribed, and it does not change as your dose steps up. The assessment takes about five minutes and there is no charge if treatment is not approved. See how Elara works, or compare plans on our pricing page.
