Hims Testosterone Cost: What You Actually Pay, and What You Actually Get

Hims testosterone cost starts at $99 a month for an enclomiphene plan paid ten months upfront: $990, before any separate lab charge or credit. It fits price shoppers already discussing enclomiphene with a clinician—not people seeking testosterone injections. Shorter published plans cost more per month; your actual offer and lab bill need confirmation.

By TRT Provider Guide · Last verified September 2026; sources checked September 14, 2026 · Educational information, not medical advice

Now the part that changes everything: Hims' advertised $99 plan does not contain testosterone.

The product on its testosterone page is a daily pill called Testosterone Rx+. The active drug is compounded enclomiphene. It is not testosterone. Hims says so itself. We'll show you exactly where. Hims' current testosterone offer.

---

Is this the right page for you?

Yes, if you saw a Hims ad, want the real number before you enter a card, and want to know what you'd actually be swallowing.

No, if you want a price for FDA-approved testosterone injections or gel. The $99 offer is not that. The testosterone cost comparison below separates those care options; it does not treat them as substitutes.

Which Hims prices can you verify before checkout?

Hims explicitly advertises its ten-month enclomiphene plan from $99 per month, paid upfront in full. Its January 2026 price guide also lists three- and five-month rates, but those published figures are not a checked personal offer or proof of when each charge occurs. Current offer · Published price guide.

Illustrative — not a quote. Confirm every figure at checkout before you pay.

Sources: the $69 credit is from Hims' live Men's Core Panel page. The $94 kit figure and all three plan rates are in its enclomiphene price guide, published January 8, 2026. The ten-month prepayment condition also appears in its current testosterone FAQ. All were checked September 14, 2026. The lab-price and credit distinction matters.

How much does Hims testosterone cost per month?

Hims' price guide lists $199 per month on a three-month plan, $139 on a five-month plan, and $99 on a ten-month plan. The current offer explicitly requires the ten-month plan to be paid upfront in full, so that rate means a $990 commitment; the shorter plans' current terms need confirmation. A lab charge or credit is a separate line to check. Published rates · Ten-month payment condition.

Here's the thing most people miss.

The cheapest monthly rate is the biggest commitment. You don't pay $99 a month. You pay $990 in one go, and then you get billed at $99 a month in your head afterward. Those are very different feelings when the charge lands.

And the shortest plan in the published guide? That's the three-month plan, at $199 a month. About double the advertised rate. The number in the ad and the number for a shorter commitment sit at opposite ends of the menu.

The $990 figure is our calculation: $99 × 10 months. Hims publishes the monthly rate and the upfront-payment condition in its FAQ. You should not have to confuse a monthly equivalent with a monthly bill. Hims' pricing explanation.

Write down three numbers before you enter a card

They are not the same number:

1. The monthly figure. From $99.
2. The plan length. Ten months.
3. The amount committed to the plan. From $990 upfront, plus any separate charges and less only credits confirmed for that order.

That's it. That one habit protects you at every telehealth checkout you'll ever see, not just this one.

What do you actually get for $99 a month?

Hims' Testosterone Rx+ is a daily oral product containing compounded enclomiphene citrate, with formulations that can include tadalafil and supplements. Enclomiphene is not testosterone: it is a selective estrogen receptor modulator, or SERM, that can increase the body's own hormone signals in selected men with secondary hypogonadism. Hims' current FAQ says it does not offer TRT injections. Hims' product details · FDA evidence review, enclomiphene presentation.

The $99 starting rate does not establish the price of every combination. Hims' enclomiphene-plus-supplement disclosure lists vitamin B6, vitamin B12, L-arginine, and zinc sulfate; its storefront also presents combinations with tadalafil. Confirm the ingredients and price of the exact prescription offered to you. Supplements do not turn it into FDA-approved testosterone.

Let's define the words, because the whole decision lives here.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) means adding testosterone to your body from outside. An injection, a gel, a pellet, a pill containing testosterone. Your body gets the hormone directly. Not every testosterone preparation is FDA-approved; approval belongs to the specific drug product. Endocrine Society · FDA on compounding.

Enclomiphene does something different. It blocks an estrogen signal in your brain. In men whose hormone system can respond, the pituitary gland releases more luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). LH signals the testicles to make testosterone; FSH helps support sperm production. So your own factory works harder. No testosterone is added from outside. FDA evidence review.

Both can raise your testosterone. They are not the same treatment, they don't work for the same men, and they don't carry the same regulatory status.

The product decoder

The product claims come from Hims' pages; the medical and regulatory distinctions come from the FDA, Endocrine Society, and DEA's controlled-substance list. Here is the key Hims FAQ answer:

“No, Hims does not currently offer access to TRT injections.” — Hims testosterone FAQ.

Hims also states that enclomiphene is not FDA-approved. FDA has reviewed evidence about enclomiphene, including for compounding policy; that is not the same as approving it as a drug. FDA's review.

Its storefront discloses that the compounded finished product is not FDA-approved, requires a prescription, and is not available in all 50 states. Hims' disclosures.

Hims' FAQ describes enclomiphene as intended for secondary rather than primary hypogonadism. That distinction is a reason for a proper work-up, not a way to diagnose yourself or guarantee that a SERM will work. Hims' explanation · Endocrine Society's diagnostic guidance.

That last one matters more than it looks. Hypogonadism is a clinical condition involving inadequate testicular hormone production and/or sperm production. Secondary means the problem lies in the signals from the brain or pituitary gland. Primary means the problem lies in the testicles themselves. Enclomiphene works on the signal; it cannot be assumed to fix testicular failure. Endocrine Society · AUA/ASRM guideline.

One more product that will confuse you

Hims sells something else called Sex Rx + Testosterone Support. Its homepage lists tadalafil and zinc and advertises it from $35 a month, under a separate offer. That is not the $99 enclomiphene plan. Hims homepage.

If you're price shopping, you will find it. Check the active ingredients, not just the word “testosterone” in the name.

The ingredients named on that product card are not testosterone or enclomiphene. Do not use its price as a quote for treating diagnosed testosterone deficiency. Hims' product card.

A product with “Testosterone Support” in the name is not automatically testosterone replacement. Just make sure you're pricing the right thing.

Where we'll give Hims real credit

We're not here to dunk on this company. Hims discloses the compounded status on its storefront and links to peer-reviewed research. Its FDA-status article also discusses the limits of the evidence. Those disclosures help a buyer check the offer instead of relying on the headline.

The price and the product identity live in different places, and a man in a hurry can connect them wrong. The fertility claims also need a closer look: a rise in hormone levels is not a promise that you will remain fertile.

---

Which care route fits before you pay?

The right TRT provider is not the same for every person — it depends on whether low testosterone has been properly evaluated, your symptoms and health history, your fertility plans, your state, your insurance or cash-pay preference, your treatment-format preference, your budget, and whether online or in-person care is the better starting point. Some situations belong with primary care, urology, endocrinology, reproductive urology, or urgent or emergency care when the symptoms warrant it. Because a general answer cannot resolve those for you, use TRT Provider Guide's Find My TRT Path tool to map your situation to the right care route and the questions to ask before you pay.

The tool is educational. It does not diagnose low testosterone, decide eligibility, or guarantee a prescription.

What do the $94 lab fee and $69 credit actually mean?

Hims' January 2026 price guide lists a $94 initial lab kit. Its current Men's Core Panel page advertises a $69 credit after you return the kit within 30 days, subject to restrictions; we could not verify that panel's purchase price from the public text. Those are different statements, not an interchangeable $69–$94 price range. Price guide · Core Panel terms.

This is the part that can cost you money if you get it wrong.

Here's what each one says, from Hims' own live pages:

Sources: Men's Core Panel, enclomiphene price guide, and Hims vs. Hone, checked September 14, 2026.

A credit is not a refund. That distinction is the whole ballgame. If your labs come back and a provider says no, a credit toward a future Hims purchase is worth exactly as much as your appetite for buying something else from Hims.

There's a second wrinkle, and it's in Hims' terms of service. Labs by Hims & Hers is described as informational and educational unless a provider expressly gives medical advice during a visit as part of a subscription plan. The terms also say a clinician may need further testing before diagnosis or treatment.

Read that qualifier twice. It does not prove the Core Panel can never lead to treatment: the Core Panel page itself says an eligible patient may receive a prescription after review. A lab purchase, a clinical evaluation, and a treatment subscription are separate things to confirm.

What to do: before you pay for any test, message Hims and ask: “Does this order include clinical review for treatment, what further testing could be required, and which charges and credits apply?” Get the answer in writing.

One more thing worth asking about

The Endocrine Society's testosterone guideline requires compatible symptoms or signs and consistently low testosterone results, confirmed with repeat morning, fasting testing. Its July 2026 statement again specifies at least two early-morning, fasting tests—not a diagnosis from one result.

Two tubes collected on one morning are not two measurements on separate mornings. The clinical question is whether low results persist, not how many collection devices are in the box.

A number near 300 ng/dL is a common reference point, not a universal diagnosis. The units mean nanograms per deciliter. The clinician must consider symptoms, the testing method and reference range, repeat results, and the cause of any deficiency. Endocrine Society's current statement.

Now look at the Hims pages again. The Men's Core Panel body text says one sample. The FAQ on that same page says two samples. And the instruction is to ship them "the same day you collect them." Hims' Core Panel instructions.

We are not saying Hims is doing anything improper. The public wording does not settle whether your own work-up includes a separate-morning repeat test. We don't know, and we won't pretend to.

It's a fair thing to ask before you prepay. Send this through the portal: “Will my diagnosis be based on measurements from two separate mornings, and is any repeat draw included in the price?” See our TRT blood-test guide for the questions to take to the clinician.

That question is worth asking at any provider, including the ones we get paid by.

---

Does the 10-month plan end after 10 months?

Hims' terms state that subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel at least two days before the renewal processing date, and that the first renewal may be charged early. Treat a prepaid plan as a recurring commitment unless your own order expressly says otherwise. A second payment depends on the plan and renewal price in force. Hims subscription terms.

This is where a second large bill can come from. The renewal and refund rules are in the terms, not in the monthly headline.

From Hims' Terms and Conditions, last updated August 31, 2026:

"Your subscription will automatically renew for another subscription period unless you cancel at least two (2) days before the applicable renewal processing date of your subscription."

"Your first renewal may be charged early to prevent any discontinuity in treatment."

"We do not offer refunds for partially used subscription periods, although we may provide refunds on a case-by-case basis in our sole and absolute discretion."

Put those three sentences together and here's what they mean in plain English.

You pay $990. If the same ten-month plan renews at the same price, another $990 can come out of your account—possibly before the ten months are up. And if you decide at month four that this isn't for you, the general subscription terms do not promise you a refund for the six months you already paid for and haven't used.

So what does a year actually cost?

A twelve-month rate equivalent, the number of months funded, and the cash charged during the first year are three different things. Here is the math for repeating the published three-, five-, or ten-month blocks without changing plans or prices.

Our calculation, from Hims' published rates. Rate equivalent = monthly rate × 12. Whole-block value = plan value × the number of full blocks needed. These are not verified first-year invoices: charge dates, early renewals, changes of plan, and clinical continuation can change what you actually pay.

Of these unchanged-plan examples, the ten-month option has the lowest whole-block total: $1,980, which funds 20 months. That is not a claim that $1,980 is the cheapest possible personal quote, or that you receive twenty months of medication at once.

Notice what that does to the $99 headline. Over 20 months, $1,980 really is $99 a month. Hims' rate is accurate. It just isn't a monthly bill, and it isn't a year.

For your actual first-year cash budget, add the payments scheduled within your first twelve months, the real lab charge, and any separately billed visits, tests, or delivery. Subtract only credits confirmed to apply to those payments. An unknown required charge is not zero.

Do this before you pay: ask for the renewal processing date. Once it appears in your account, put it in your phone calendar with more than the required two-day minimum as a buffer. Not a mental note. A calendar alert.

Is enclomiphene FDA-approved?

No. Enclomiphene is not FDA-approved, and FDA's compounding policy is not approval of Hims' finished product. In June 2022, an FDA advisory committee voted 8–4 against adding enclomiphene citrate to the final 503A Bulks List; it remains on the agency's Category 1 evaluation list dated May 14, 2026. FDA minutes · Current evaluation list.

We pulled the FDA's own meeting minutes for this. Here is the record.

Sources: Clomid prescribing information, FDA's 2022 enclomiphene presentation, committee minutes, Category 1 list, and the final 503A regulation.

Clomiphene use in men is off-label; compounded enclomiphene is an unapproved drug, not an approved drug being used off-label. Clomid labeling · FDA's enclomiphene review.

The committee was evaluating enclomiphene for raising testosterone, LH, and FSH in men with secondary hypogonadism. FDA's meeting record.

That is the broad treatment purpose Hims describes—not an FDA-approved indication for enclomiphene. Hims' description.

The committee's reasoning, also from the minutes: "Several committee members who voted 'No' noted lack of clinical efficacy evidence." FDA minutes, June 8, 2022.

What this does and doesn't mean

That vote does not establish that enclomiphene is banned or about to disappear. FDA's interim policy describes circumstances in which it does not intend to take action over certain bulk-substance requirements for Category 1 compounding. The compounder still has to meet the policy's conditions and other applicable requirements. This is not a blanket finding that every pharmacy or prescription complies with the law.

It does mean Category 1 is not approval. It's an enforcement posture during a process that isn't finished. Being nominated and under evaluation is not the same as being on the final list.

It does matter when you're prepaying $990 for ten months of a compounded product. Ask what happens to unused payments if your clinician changes the prescription, the pharmacy cannot supply it, or a policy change affects access. The sources checked do not establish an impending supply cutoff.

And here's the part we like best: Hims says this itself. Its article Is Enclomiphene FDA-Approved? distinguishes FDA approval from compounding-list status.

Hims acknowledges that enclomiphene remains unapproved and is not included on the final 503A Bulks List.

We'd rather give Hims credit for that than argue with it. But regulatory disclosure is not a substitute for a clinical discussion of benefits, side effects, interactions, and fertility. FDA's review describes limited clinical evidence; a hormone-level increase alone does not prove the symptom or fertility outcome a buyer hopes for. FDA's evidence review.

Can you use insurance, an HSA, or an FSA?

Hims does not bill health insurance for this service and says it does not accept HSA or FSA plans as payment. That does not settle whether an eligible expense can later be reimbursed from an HSA or FSA. Insurance claims, payment-card acceptance, and tax-qualified reimbursement are different questions. Hims terms · Hims payment FAQ · IRS Publication 969.

Three separate questions here, and the distinction surprises people.

Wall one — Hims doesn't take your HSA or FSA card. Direct quote from the testosterone FAQ: "Hims & Hers doesn't take FSA or HSA plans as payment at this time." Hims' payment FAQ.

Wall two — Hims doesn't bill insurance. Its FAQ frames this as a feature: "Insurance isn't required, so there are no complicated insurance questions." Hims' insurance explanation.

Wall three — check what the contract says about insurance reimbursement. From the terms of service:

"Hims & Hers and the Medical Groups are not enrolled with, and are not participating providers with, any federal or state healthcare programs (i.e., Medicare, Medicaid) or commercial payers... neither you nor Hims & Hers, the Labs, the Pharmacies, the Medical Groups or the Providers will submit a claim for reimbursement to any federal or state healthcare program or commercial payer."

That's not just “we don't bill insurance.” The terms also say you will not submit an insurance reimbursement claim for the service. Do not budget on paying Hims cash and then recovering it from a health insurer. That clause is distinct from determining whether a particular expense qualifies under HSA or FSA rules.

What that costs you in real money

HSA and FSA tax benefits depend on the expense and your circumstances. The IRS allows qualified medical expenses to be paid or reimbursed under the applicable account rules; card acceptance by the seller is not the deciding test. IRS Publication 969.

A declined HSA/FSA card does not make every Hims expense a post-tax expense. Keep an itemized receipt and confirm the specific prescription, testing, supplement components, and service dates with your account administrator. Do not assume an entire prepaid bundle is eligible; FSA rules also do not allow reimbursement in advance for future medical care. IRS rules.

That's not a reason to reject Hims. It's a reason to run the number for your own household before you commit $990.

→ Need to compare payment rules before choosing a provider? Separate card acceptance from reimbursement in our HSA/FSA guide.

What is included, and what could still cost extra?

Hims describes consultation, medication delivery, and ongoing support as part of the treatment price. Its current page describes a hormone-level check at three months, and its comparison guide says follow-up kits are supplied at no extra cost. Those are provider-stated inclusions, not proof that every test, visit, replacement kit, or prescription change is covered. Hims price guide · Current care description · Follow-up kit statement.

Sources: Hims' program FAQ, price guide, terms, and provider-contact instructions. No assigned clinician, pharmacy, or individual laboratory was checked for a patient in this audit.

What happens if your refill is late or the prescription changes?

A prepaid balance is not a guarantee that the same medication will remain clinically appropriate or arrive on a fixed date. Before committing, ask who handles refill problems, whether a new formulation changes the price, and how unused payments are handled if treatment cannot continue. Hims' general terms do not promise a partial-period refund. Hims terms.

For a problem with an active prescription, use Hims' provider-contact process for clinical questions and its support contact options for billing or shipping. Ask the treating clinician for a continuity plan; do not change a prescribed treatment or substitute another product based on this cost page.

Which pharmacy is actually filling the prescription?

Hims' terms name Apostrophe, XeCare, Curexa, Red Rock, AnazaoHealth, and Strive Specialties across its platform. That list does not identify which pharmacy will make your Rx+ prescription, prove that every listed pharmacy serves every state, or verify an individual prescription's legal status. Ask for the dispensing pharmacy's full name and verify it with the relevant state pharmacy board. Hims' pharmacy disclosures.

Keep a copy of the prescription label, your lab reports, and the treating medical group's contact details. Ask that group how to request your visit notes and transfer records to another clinician; do not assume a lab-result screen is your complete medical record.

---

How do you cancel, and what do you get back?

Hims asks you to cancel at least 48 hours before your next order date; its general subscription terms say at least two days before renewal processing. Cancelling does not automatically reverse a processing order or refund an unused prepaid period. Testosterone customers with labs ordered but no medication prescribed are directed to contact support. Cancellation instructions · Subscription terms.

Your next step depends entirely on which stage you're at.

Sources: Hims' cancellation help, refund help, and the Labs by Hims & Hers and subscription sections of its terms. These are published policies, not a cancellation we personally performed.

The testosterone exception matters: self-service cancellation is not the published instruction at the labs-ordered, no-prescription stage. The same help article also has a separate direction for weight-loss memberships, so testosterone is not its only exception. The article was updated August 25, 2026. Hims help.

We'll also give Hims fair credit here. Its current published flow names “Discontinue plan” directly. That is useful to know, but reading the instructions does not prove how quickly or smoothly a cancellation works in an actual account.

What's the FTC lawsuit, and does it matter here?

On July 29, 2026, the Federal Trade Commission, joined by Utah and California through Los Angeles County Counsel, sued Hims & Hers Health, Inc. over subscription billing, cancellation, and health-data practices. Hims denies the allegations. The FTC case page, last updated September 10 and checked September 14, 2026, lists the case as pending; allegations are not findings.

We're including this for one reason: you're deciding whether to hand this company $990 up front on an auto-renewing plan. The case is about billing and cancellation. That's directly relevant.

What the FTC alleges. That Hims fails to clearly disclose it charges for prescriptions almost immediately after an intake form is submitted, despite telling people they'll consult a provider first. That many consumers never get that consultation before being charged and enrolled in a recurring subscription. That cancellation was made difficult. And that sensitive health information was shared with Meta, Snap, and other third parties despite privacy promises. The claims are brought under the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act, plus California and Utah consumer-protection laws. The Commission vote authorising the complaint was 2-0. FTC's announcement and complaint.

What Hims says. From its investor statement the same day:

"This lawsuit disregards substantial evidence we provided the FTC during its nearly three-year investigation, ignores established state laws and industry standards in telehealth, and contorts the law to try to manufacture claims."

The company says it is confident in its position and will "vigorously defend" itself.

What we're not saying. We are not saying the allegations have been proved. The FTC files a complaint when it has reason to believe a law is being violated. The case remains pending on the official case page. FTC case record.

What we'd do anyway. Whether or not the allegations hold up, these five habits cost you nothing and protect you at any subscription provider:

1. Screenshot the terms and the total at checkout, before you confirm.
2. Put your renewal processing date in your calendar with more than the required two-day minimum as a buffer.
3. Cancel through the published process and save the confirmation and any support messages.
4. Review your statement; raise billing errors promptly with the provider and, where appropriate, your card issuer.
5. Save your lab results to your own device, not just the app.

One more detail, from Hims' terms: the arbitration clause has a 30-day opt-out window from when you first become subject to it, and it requires a signed written notice mailed to their San Francisco office. Most people never read that far. Now you have. Hims' arbitration opt-out terms.

What if fertility is the reason you're looking at this?

Enclomiphene can increase LH and FSH rather than supply testosterone from outside, while exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production. That difference is real, but it is not a fertility guarantee. Current or future fertility plans belong in a clinical discussion before any hormone plan is chosen. FDA evidence review · AUA/ASRM guideline.

Let's be precise, because this topic attracts a lot of loose marketing.

Testosterone you take from outside can shut down sperm production. It can suppress LH and FSH, reducing the signals that support testosterone production inside the testes and spermatogenesis, the process of making sperm. The degree of suppression varies. AUA/ASRM guidance says testosterone alone should not be prescribed to men interested in current or future fertility. AUA/ASRM guideline.

Enclomiphene works the other direction. It raises LH and FSH rather than suppressing them. That's the mechanism behind the fertility-sparing framing you'll see everywhere. FDA review of the clinical studies.

What we will not tell you: that enclomiphene protects your fertility, preserves it, or restores it. That's not a claim the evidence supports as a promise, and it's not one any website should make about your body. We also won't tell you that testosterone will definitely make you infertile. Neither certainty is available.

What we will tell you: if you and your partner are thinking about kids in the next year or two—or preserving the option later—discuss that before you buy a hormone plan online. A reproductive urologist, a urologist who specialises in male fertility, can assess which testing and treatment options fit, including whether a semen analysis is needed. Not after you've already committed. That sequence is worth getting right. AUA/ASRM guideline.

Is Hims adding testosterone, and will it cost more?

Hims' public testosterone page still labels injectable testosterone cypionate and oral Kyzatrex as “Coming in 2026.” We did not verify an active Hims price or ordering offer for either on September 14, 2026, so the enclomiphene prices on this page do not price those future products. A launch announcement is not a personal availability or insurance quote. Hims' product cards.

Both appear as product cards on Hims' testosterone page. The launch footnote says the expected timing may change because it depends on assumptions and factors outside the company's control.

Marius Pharmaceuticals announced a collaboration with Hims & Hers on September 10, 2025 to make Kyzatrex available through the platform in the coming months. That announcement does not establish a current Hims checkout price or override the current “coming” labels.

That's a forward-looking statement, not a launch date. We're not going to predict one, and neither should any page you read.

Kyzatrex is an FDA-approved oral testosterone undecanoate capsule. FDA's approval letter is dated July 27, 2022. That approval applies to Kyzatrex, not to Hims' compounded enclomiphene product.

Why waiting for a quote might be reasonable. You do not have to commit to a different drug while waiting to learn whether the product you actually want will be offered. But FDA approval does not mean Hims will bill insurance, that your plan will cover its service, or that the price will be lower. Keep the medication's approval, the provider's payment policy, and your insurer's rules separate. Hims' current payment terms.

What the current telemedicine rule changes—and what it doesn't

Here is the current federal rule for the testosterone care options—not a reason to rush into treatment.

Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance. DEA and HHS have temporarily allowed qualifying practitioners to prescribe controlled medications through telemedicine without a prior in-person evaluation when the rule's conditions are met. The Fourth Temporary Extension runs January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. Federal Register rule · DEA explanation.

For testosterone, that flexibility does not mean a questionnaire alone is enough: the temporary pathway includes an audio-video encounter and compliance with federal and state law. A clinician may still require an in-person evaluation, and the rule does not guarantee a prescription. DEA's explanation.

What this means for you, honestly:

• For Hims' advertised enclomiphene: it is not federally scheduled testosterone, but it still requires a prescription and appropriate licensed care.
• For testosterone treatment: ask how the clinician handles your state's rules, any required in-person care, and continuity if rules change.
• For your timing: do not start treatment to beat a regulatory deadline. The rule in effect when care is provided—not a website's prediction—governs what is allowed.

Sources: DEA's controlled-substance list and temporary federal rule.

Who is Hims testosterone actually a good deal for?

Hims may fit a man whose clinician has already discussed enclomiphene, who wants a daily pill, and who can comfortably prepay several hundred dollars. It is not the $99 answer for someone seeking FDA-approved testosterone, and no price makes it a substitute for a proper diagnosis. Fertility plans need a separate clinical discussion, not a promise from a product page.

Find yourself in this list.

These are our editorial conclusions from the verified facts above. They are not a judgement that any treatment is clinically right for you. Only a clinician can make that call. The clinical flags follow Endocrine Society guidance; see also our fertility guide.

How does Hims testosterone cost compare with testosterone care?

Hims' $99 offer is compounded enclomiphene, not testosterone replacement. Male Excel and Taurus Meds advertise testosterone programs, but their published prices need membership, billing, formulation, and refund checks before you can compare a full year. A local clinician plus a pharmacy quote is another care model—not a guaranteed sub-$400 package.

Illustrative — not a quote. Confirm every figure at checkout before you pay.

Provider sources checked September 14, 2026: Hims' price guide; Male Excel's main pricing, initial test offer and FAQ; Taurus' $49 campaign, terms, section 28 and refund policy. The numbers above are provider-stated prices plus our arithmetic, not checkout-tested totals.

Two things you should know about the Male Excel column, since we have an affiliate relationship. Its pricing page lists its oral Triclozene product at both $120 and $95 a month in different blocks—not two injection prices. A separate Male Excel pricing page shows a $30 membership against the main site's $99. We used the main site. Get your exact monthly total in writing before you pay. The main offer also adds shipping and handling without specifying the amount there. Main pricing page.

The $2,727 model uses twelve monthly medication equivalents and twelve memberships. The page says both 60-day supply and every-other-month billing; six 60-day supplies total 360 days, not a 365-day year. Your actual refill dates, supply duration, shipping charges, and any further testing decide the cash total. Do not treat the rate model as a guaranteed ceiling.

Taurus has a different conflict. Its $49 campaign says no membership fees, but its terms list $17.99 per billing period unless purchase terms say otherwise. If that fee were charged monthly in addition to the advertised rate, the same twelve-month model would be $2,052.88, not $1,837. We have not verified that the extra fee applies to this particular campaign; get the exception or charge in writing.

The Taurus campaign also repeats injection instructions under oral and gel product cards and names another company's “Excel Advantage” program in its compounded-product text. Those mismatches matter when you need to know exactly what is being prescribed. Do not rely on the card copy as medication instructions, an FDA-status statement, or proof of what is included. Taurus campaign.

Why isn't a pharmacy price the price of care?

Look at that last column again. A pharmacy quote covers a particular drug, quantity, and dispensing arrangement. It does not automatically pay for diagnostic visits, repeat testing, follow-up care, or supplies. Ask the clinician and pharmacy for those separate numbers before comparing them with a managed program.

So why does anyone pay $99 to $199 a month?

Because the molecule isn't all you're buying. You're paying for a clinician licensed to treat you who evaluates whether a prescription is appropriate. Lab ordering and interpretation. Monitoring over time—for example, testosterone levels and hematocrit, the share of your blood made up of red cells; other tests depend on your situation. Follow-up when the treatment needs review. And the logistics of filling a prescription. Monitoring reduces risk; it does not make treatment risk-free. Endocrine Society guidance.

Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance in the United States. It requires a valid prescription; appropriate medical monitoring is part of care. A low pharmacy price does not remove either requirement. DEA · Endocrine Society.

Which leads to the honest conclusion: if you already have a doctor who'll engage with this, ask for a full care-and-pharmacy quote before buying an online subscription. That gives you a real comparison instead of an assumed cheapest route. An online program may offer a care model you prefer, but speed and access must be checked—not promised. Just know what you're paying for. See online versus local TRT care and our TRT cost guide.

The part where we argue against ourselves

Male Excel is more expensive than Hims in these published-rate examples, and it isn't close. The injectable-bundle model is $2,727 before shipping, including the required $99 monthly membership. That's roughly 1.4 times the $1,980 Hims two-block model—and the Hims model funds twenty months rather than twelve. These are different treatments and funding periods, not equal clinical packages.

If the lowest published number is your only criterion, Male Excel is not the cheapest option in this table. But do not choose enclomiphene instead of testosterone—or add thyroid medication—just because a bundle costs less. First establish which treatment, if any, fits your diagnosis and fertility plans.

But that membership isn't a fee for nothing. Male Excel lists a dedicated medical provider, unlimited support-team messaging, and unlimited e-visits. Its current site also describes 60-day follow-ups and comprehensive blood testing every six months within the membership. Those are provider-stated services, not care or response times we tested. Its FSA/HSA eligibility claim still needs to fit your own account rules, and its FAQ says it does not supply medical-necessity letters. Membership benefits · Follow-up description · Payment FAQ.

You came here searching the cost of testosterone. Male Excel is one of the care options on this page that offers testosterone when prescribed—but its compounded products are not a substitute for an FDA-approved-product request.

What should you ask before you pay?

Before entering a card, get the total charge, the exact product, and the cancellation and refund terms in writing. Also confirm the pharmacy, the repeat-testing plan, and the costs of ongoing care. A clear price is useful only when you know which service and medication it buys.

Copy this. Send it through the portal. A missing answer is a reason to pause the purchase, not fill in the blank yourself.

1. What is the exact dollar amount that will be charged to my card today, and on later scheduled dates?
2. How many months does that cover, and when is my renewal processing date?
3. What is the exact medication and formulation—and is the finished product FDA-approved or compounded? Ask the clinician to explain the prescribed amount; this page does not recommend a dose.
4. Which pharmacy is dispensing it, and how will I learn about any pharmacy change?
5. If I'm found ineligible, what happens to the money I've already paid? Ask which credits or refund clauses apply to that exact order.
6. Will my diagnosis use early-morning measurements on separate days, and which repeat tests, follow-ups, shipping, and prescription changes are included?
7. If treatment stops or changes mid-plan, what is refunded—in writing?

And two more for your own file: save your lab results to your own device, and ask how to get your medical records if you ever move to another clinician. A purchase receipt is not a copy of the medical record.

What did we actually verify?

What we actually verified — September 14, 2026. We read the linked public provider pages, contracts, official regulatory records, and clinical guidance, and recalculated the cost models. We did not buy a plan, enter a clinical intake, order a test, contact support, or test cancellation in an account.

Our method is documented at How We Review TRT Providers. We separate four things and label them: verified facts, provider-stated facts, customer-experience signals, and our own editorial conclusions. We show the inputs needed for complete cost rather than repeating a teaser price or calling an incomplete model a quote. We don't publish scores, star ratings, or testimonials on this cost page—a stranger's experience can't tell you what you'll be charged. See our editorial standards, privacy policy, and corrections process.

What else should you know about Hims testosterone cost?

The advertised $99 rate is a ten-month upfront commitment, not a monthly payment plan. Your exact lab order, prescription, renewal terms, and any separate charges decide the bill. Hims' current offer.

How much does Hims testosterone cost per month? Hims' guide lists $199 for a three-month plan, $139 for five months, or $99 for ten months. The current ten-month offer is explicitly prepaid in full: $990. Confirm the current shorter-plan offer and billing terms. Hims price guide · Current offer.

How much is charged when I sign up? We did not test checkout. Hims publishes a $94 initial kit in its price guide and a $990 ten-month treatment commitment; the Core Panel's $69 statement is a credit. Confirm the actual test fee, when each charge occurs, and which credit applies before providing payment details. Price guide · Core Panel.

Does Hims prescribe testosterone? The advertised $99 treatment is enclomiphene, not testosterone. On September 14, 2026, the checked Hims page still said it did not offer TRT injections and marked cypionate and Kyzatrex as forthcoming. We did not verify an active Hims quote for either. Hims testosterone page.

Is enclomiphene FDA-approved? No. Category 1 compounding evaluation is not drug approval, and FDA's interim policy is conditional—not a blanket approval of pharmacies or prescriptions. FDA compounding policy · Category 1 list.

Does Hims take insurance for testosterone? Hims does not bill insurance for this service. Its terms also say neither the patient nor the listed service parties will submit an insurance reimbursement claim; do not budget on an insurance refund. Hims terms.

Can I use my HSA or FSA at Hims? Hims says it does not accept those plans as direct payment. That does not decide whether an expense qualifies for later reimbursement: check the itemized expense, service date, and your account rules. Hims FAQ · IRS Publication 969.

What happens if my labs come back normal? A clinician decides what further evaluation or treatment, if any, is appropriate. The $69 credit offer is not an automatic cash refund, and the $94 kit's treatment credit is described for eligible patients. Ask which refund or credit terms govern your specific order. Hims Core Panel · Hims' kit-credit description.

Does the 10-month plan auto-renew? Yes. Hims' terms state subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least two days before the renewal processing date, and that the first renewal may be charged early. Hims terms.

Can I get a refund if I stop halfway through? Hims' terms say it does not offer refunds for partially used subscription periods, though it may make exceptions at its discretion. Hims terms.

How do I cancel Hims testosterone? Cancel at least 48 hours before your next order date through Subscriptions in your account. If labs have been ordered but no medication prescribed yet, Hims asks testosterone customers to contact support instead. Hims cancellation instructions.

Is Hims testosterone available in my state? The checked Rx+ pages say it is not available in all 50 states, but they do not give a complete program-specific state list. Some states require a video visit. Confirm your current location and exact product with Hims before paying; a general Hims service being available does not establish Rx+ availability. Hims' state and visit disclosures.

Will Hims testosterone affect my fertility? Enclomiphene and testosterone replacement have different effects on hormone signals. Neither a product label nor a higher testosterone result guarantees preserved fertility. Discuss present and future fertility plans with a fertility-aware clinician before choosing treatment. AUA/ASRM guideline.

Is Hims cheaper than TRT? Not a comparison you can settle from monthly headlines. The advertised Hims plan is not TRT, and full costs depend on the actual medication, care, labs, billing dates, and fees. Compare complete written quotes only after a clinician has helped establish which care options fit.
