Hims vs Henry Meds TRT: Real Costs, Treatments, and Fine Print (2026)

By TRT Provider Guide · Last verified November 2026 (sources checked November 11, 2026)

Last updated: November 11, 2026.

Editorial research; not clinically reviewed. This comparison covers adult men being evaluated for testosterone deficiency.

Hims vs Henry Meds TRT comes down to treatment and billing. Henry's $129 monthly base bundles care; Kyzatrex is $179. Hims separately lists FDA-approved generic shots, with membership extra. Neither bills insurance. Unconfirmed low testosterone needs evaluation, and near-term fertility plans need a fertility-focused clinician; state access and the full quote can change the choice.

There's one line in Henry's price sheet that changes the answer for some men. We'll show you which line it is, and who it matters to.

Quick note on names: Hims (hims.com) is the men's brand of Hims & Hers Health, Inc. Henry Meds (henrymeds.com) is run by Adonis Health, Inc. Hims began offering real testosterone therapy on October 21, 2026. Before that, its testosterone-care offering used enclomiphene-based treatment, which is not testosterone. Many comparison pages still haven't caught up. ^{2 13}

TRT Provider Guide is the independent decision resource for testosterone replacement therapy — helping U.S. adults understand how low testosterone is evaluated, compare online and local care models and providers, and choose the next step that fits their health needs, fertility plans, budget, state, and care preferences, with every material claim verified and dated.

Hims vs Henry Meds TRT at a glance

Hims bills membership and medication separately; Henry publishes a bundled program base. The treatment, testing setup and payment terms decide which is the better fit.

Prices come from each company's own pages, checked November 11, 2026. These are provider-stated prices, not a tested checkout quote. Hims' full membership cost still needs confirmation. ^{1 5 11 12}

Who each one fits

Not for you if you need a treatment promise before a proper evaluation, or need these cash-pay programs to bill insurance. If you're trying to have a child soon, start with a fertility-focused clinician; if low testosterone is unconfirmed, start with diagnostic evaluation. Skip ahead to what to do instead.

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. Find My TRT Path checks age and state eligibility for the featured Male Excel offer; it does not choose a clinical care route or prepare appointment questions. The tool is educational: it does not diagnose low testosterone, decide medical eligibility, or guarantee a prescription.

Is Hims or Henry Meds cheaper for TRT?

Answer: Henry publishes a $129 monthly program base for injections or compounded cream and $179 for Kyzatrex. Hims publishes medication prices from $79, $159 and $179, plus required membership. Henry's bundle is easier to budget from public prices, but a complete Hims quote is needed to name the cheaper injection option.

Here's the problem with comparing these two. Hims shows you the medicine price and charges membership on top. Henry shows you one bundled price. So "$79 vs. $129" is not a fair fight. We lined them up by treatment and added a full year of the published price components.

Your first year, treatment by treatment

U.S. dollars. Based on each company's published prices, checked November 11, 2026. These are 12-month price models, not personal checkout quotes. "From" prices are starting prices. Your dose and plan can change them. ^{1 5 11 12}

FDA-approved testosterone options

Compounded testosterone options — not FDA-approved

Non-testosterone options — not TRT

These are different non-testosterone products, not interchangeable versions of TRT.

Our math is simple: each published monthly price times 12. Henry's figures assume twelve payments at the listed monthly rate, without unverified discounts or charges outside the selected bundle. Hims' complete first-year cost is its medication subtotal plus every membership charge and any required unbundled cost.

The useful break-even number for injections is $600. Henry's $1,548 base is $600 above Hims' $948 compounded-medication subtotal. If the treatment and other charges were otherwise comparable, Hims would reach that base at $600 in yearly membership and other required charges—a $50 monthly equivalent. That is a calculation, not Hims' membership price or a promise that the products are equivalent.

Three things that can change these numbers

1. Hims' membership price and billing schedule. Hims says you pay a $49 membership fee at checkout and that medication is billed separately. Its support page says the fee can vary with the billing schedule you choose, and its terms describe monthly or annual renewal. Confirm the amount, renewal dates and any upfront medication payment before comparing totals. ^{1 5 6}

2. Henry's supply schedule is not its billing schedule. Henry's program sheet lists a monthly price and describes the included injection supply every 28 days. That does not establish 28-day billing or 13 charges a year. Check the actual payment dates and commitment in your enrollment terms; Henry says available terms vary by program. ^{12 13 20}

3. Your prescribed amount. Henry's $129 plan covers up to a set amount of medication. For shots, its program sheet lists up to 1,000 mg of testosterone cypionate every 28 days. That is a bundle limit, not a dose recommendation. Henry says it can charge for amounts beyond the bundle and some extra services. Hims' prices are "from" prices, so your actual dose and plan length may cost more. ^{1 12 19}

Haven't confirmed your levels yet? Ask what the diagnostic evaluation costs before committing to medication, including any second early-morning test. A treatment subscription is not the same as a confirmed diagnosis.

What about generic testosterone through your own doctor?

It's another route worth pricing, and we earn nothing from it. Generic testosterone cypionate is FDA-approved and available through pharmacies with a prescription. If you have insurance, it may cover your visits and lab work, and sometimes the prescription itself after prior approval. Check your own plan's coverage rules. ^{48 49 50} If insurance matters to you, start there. Both Hims and Henry are cash-pay only. ^{1 13} Compare the online and local care routes before choosing a cash-pay subscription.

What does each one actually prescribe?

Answer: Both now offer real testosterone, with different product menus. Hims offers a compounded testosterone shot, a generic FDA-approved testosterone shot, and Kyzatrex pills; Henry offers testosterone shots (commercial or compounded), compounded testosterone cream, and Kyzatrex. Both also list enclomiphene-based products, which are not testosterone replacement therapy. ^{1 12}

Hims' testosterone options (added October 21, 2026)

Hims describes these formats in its launch announcement; your clinician sets the prescribed route and schedule. ^{2 46}

• Compounded testosterone cypionate. A shot under the skin, twice a week. From $79 a month for the medicine. The compounded product is not FDA-approved.
• Generic testosterone cypionate. An FDA-approved shot into the muscle, once a week. From $159 a month for the medicine.
• Kyzatrex. An FDA-approved testosterone capsule you swallow. From $179 a month for the medicine.

Hims' non-testosterone option

Hims also still sells Testosterone Rx+, a pill combining enclomiphene, tadalafil (the active drug in Cialis), and supplements. It's from $49 a month for medication, plus membership. It is not testosterone, and the compounded combination is not FDA-approved. ^{1 26}

Henry's testosterone options

Henry's $129 monthly plan includes one of these:

• Testosterone cypionate shots, "commercial or compounded," with needles and supplies
• Compounded testosterone cream

Kyzatrex is $179 a month under Henry's published program, and Henry excludes California from that offer. ¹²

Henry's non-testosterone option and adjunct

Henry also lists compounded enclomiphene capsules at $129 a month. These are not testosterone and are not FDA-approved. Henry's program sheet also lists anastrozole, a drug that lowers estrogen, at no extra cost if your provider prescribes it. Anastrozole is not testosterone; its use as an adjunct for low testosterone in men is off-label, meaning outside its FDA-approved uses. ^{12 26 45}

Shot, cream, or pill: what's the practical difference?

Hims notes that the prescribed regimen can differ from the FDA-approved schedule. The cream's skin-transfer risk is documented in published research; handling instructions must match the preparation dispensed. ^{3 27 46 51}

Your clinician picks the dose. We don't give dosing advice, and neither should any comparison page. For more on household exposure, convenience and monitoring, compare TRT treatment formats.

Is enclomiphene the same as TRT?

No. Testosterone therapy adds testosterone from outside your body. Enclomiphene is a different drug that signals your body to make more of its own. The compounded enclomiphene products discussed here are not FDA-approved. Don't let a "testosterone" label on a product page blur the two. ^{25 26}

---

Which one gives you FDA-approved testosterone, and does it matter?

Answer: Both list Kyzatrex, an FDA-approved testosterone pill, and Hims separately lists an FDA-approved generic testosterone shot. Henry's $129 shot plan lists commercial or compounded testosterone cypionate. Its reviewed public pages don't establish which finished product you'll receive. ^{3 12 27}

FDA-approved means the FDA reviewed that exact product for safety, effectiveness, and quality before it was sold. Compounded means a pharmacy mixed the medicine for individual patients. The FDA says compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and it does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they're sold. That doesn't make every compounded product bad. It means the finished compounded product has not passed FDA premarket review. ²⁶

FDA advises using compounded drugs only when an FDA-approved drug cannot meet a patient's medical needs. Ask your clinician what need the compounded prescription would meet for you. ²⁶

Both Hims and Henry state this plainly in their own disclaimers. Credit to both for that.

The line in Henry's price sheet

Here's the line we promised. Henry's program sheet says its $129 shot plan includes "testosterone cypionate (commercial or compounded)." Henry's general FAQ says it uses "FDA-approved medications or compounded prescriptions." Neither reviewed page establishes which one you will get. ^{11 12}

This is a real tradeoff with Henry.

Henry Meds' reviewed pages do not promise whether your $129 shot will be the FDA-approved generic or a compounded version. If getting the FDA-approved shot matters most to you, Hims is the better fit, because it lists an FDA-approved generic testosterone cypionate option separately, from $159 a month plus membership. ^{3 12}

Henry's advertised $129 bundle covers labs, provider visits, supplies, and shipping, within the program's limits. And if FDA approval is your priority, Henry's Kyzatrex is FDA-approved too: its $179 program base includes care, while Hims' $179 starting price covers medication alone. ^{1 11 12}

Henry's terms also say you can choose to fill your prescription at a pharmacy of your choice. You'd pay that pharmacy separately. If the product type matters to you, ask Henry before you enroll: "Will my prescription be the commercial generic or compounded?" Ask for the manufacturer or compounding pharmacy and the exact product as well. Hims also allows an outside-pharmacy fill under its terms, with the prescription paid for separately. ^{6 13}

Kyzatrex: same pill, two prices

Kyzatrex is an oral form of testosterone (testosterone undecanoate) marketed by Marius Pharmaceuticals. It's the same FDA-approved drug at both companies. At Hims, the medicine starts at $179 a month, plus membership. At Henry, $179 a month covers the medicine, visits, labs, and shipping. Henry's $179 plan covers up to a set amount per 90 days. Ask what a higher dose costs. Henry doesn't offer Kyzatrex in California. We did not verify Hims' California availability for Kyzatrex; confirm that exact treatment for your state before paying. ^{4 12 27}

How do blood tests and doctor visits compare?

Answer: Hims mails you a small device to collect blood at home and says its lab checks 22 markers; Henry usually sends you to a Quest Diagnostics lab. Both say a licensed clinician reviews your health history and labs before prescribing. We could not confirm each program's complete repeat-testing process from the public pages reviewed. ^{2 16 17}

What a careful diagnosis looks like

These guideline standards help you ask how a TRT program confirms the diagnosis.

• The Endocrine Society recommends diagnosing low testosterone only in men who have symptoms or signs and consistently low testosterone. It recommends repeating the test on a fasting, early-morning blood draw. ²⁴
• The American Urological Association treats a total testosterone below 300 ng/dL as a reasonable cutoff, measured on two separate early-morning tests, together with symptoms or signs. ²⁵

Total testosterone is all the testosterone in your blood. One low result is not a diagnosis. Testosterone levels shift through the day, and a single test can mislead. The 300 ng/dL cutoff is not a diagnosis by itself. A clinician also considers the cause, health history and the test used. ^{24 25}

So ask both companies the same question before you pay: "Will you repeat my testosterone test on a separate early morning before prescribing, and is that confirmation included in my price?" Kyzatrex's prescribing information requires morning testosterone measurements on at least two separate days before treatment. See our TRT blood-test guide for the questions to take into that visit. ²⁷

Side-by-side testing and care

Table sources: Hims launch and terms; Henry terms, laboratory instructions and support page. ^{2 6 9 13 16 17 18 47}

Refills and delivery: Henry's treatment FAQ estimates 8–10 business days after the provider visit, then shipments every 45 days for injections or 90 days for oral tablets. Its program sheet separately describes an injection quantity every 28 days. Ask which refill calendar applies to your prescription; we did not test delivery speed at either company. Hims' medication renewal interval is the one shown at checkout, and a delayed lab or required visit can delay a refill. ^{6 11 12}

A few terms from that table:

• Free testosterone is the small share of testosterone not attached to proteins in your blood.
• SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin) is a protein that binds testosterone in your blood.
• CBC checks your blood cells. It includes hematocrit, the share of your blood made of red cells. Testosterone can raise hematocrit.
• PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is a blood marker used to check on prostate health.
• LH (luteinizing hormone) helps signal the testes to make testosterone.
• CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) checks blood chemistry, including markers of kidney and liver function.

Things that can stop you at signup

• Hims requires a driver's license. Hims' support page says its identity check for testosterone accepts an unexpired driver's license, not passports, state IDs, or military IDs. Hims also says testosterone can't ship to P.O. boxes or military addresses. These are Hims policies, not a claim that every TRT service has the same rules. ^{7 8}
• Henry's age rules don't match across its pages. On November 11, 2026, one Henry TRT page listed men 35 to 65, and another listed 24 to 70. Ask which applies to you. ^{11 15}
• An in-person visit may be required. Testosterone is a controlled substance. Henry's terms say a provider may need to see you in person or may decline to prescribe if remote prescribing isn't allowed for you. ¹³

What happens if you cancel or want a refund?

Answer: Both let you cancel, but shipped medication is generally non-refundable, with the specific exceptions in their policies. Hims requires two days' notice, and membership charges can continue through an already-shipped prepaid medication supply. Henry requires 48 hours' notice and treats the bundled $30 consultation component as non-refundable once a prescription is issued. ^{6 13 14}

Table sources: the current Hims testosterone-specific terms and Henry's terms, refund policy and contract help page. ^{6 13 14 20}

Hims' medication refund window: The terms provide for an initial medication-plan refund if you cancel within 48 hours of submitting payment information and the order has not shipped. For renewals, the stated deadline is at least two days before the billing date. These rules do not make the first membership month refundable. ⁶

One more thing about Hims you should know

On July 29, 2026, the Federal Trade Commission, Utah and California, acting through Los Angeles County Counsel, sued Hims & Hers in federal court in Northern California. The complaint alleges deceptive billing and cancellation practices. It also alleges the company shared sensitive health data with advertising platforms. An amended complaint filed November 10, 2026 added Arizona, Florida, Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin. Hims has called the claims baseless. These are allegations; the FTC listed the case as pending when checked on November 11, 2026. ^{33 34 35}

What it means for you: read the checkout screen carefully, screenshot it, and put your cancel-by date in your calendar the day you sign up. That's good advice at Henry too.

The good news on Henry's billing

For its free evaluation and treatment-subscription process, Henry's terms say you're not charged until a provider prescribes. If you're not approved after the free evaluation, there's no charge and no subscription. Henry also says cancelling online takes two clicks from your account homepage. We did not test that process. ¹³

If you need your records when you leave

Hims says to email support@forhims.com with the subject Medical Records Request. Henry's privacy notice says to request a Release of Information form through privacy@henrymeds.com. Ask for your lab results, visit notes and medication history; a records copy is not a new fillable prescription. We did not test either records-request process. ^{10 22}

---

Can you use Hims or Henry Meds in your state, or with insurance?

Answer: Testosterone access depends on the treatment and state; we did not verify a complete current TRT state list for either service. Henry excludes California from its Kyzatrex offer. Both are cash-pay services, and Hims says its testosterone program is not eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement at this time. ^{1 12 13}

State access

• Hims: says its testosterone treatment is "not available in all 50 states." Its intake checks your state.
• Henry Meds: says services are available only in states it serves, and not every product is available in every state. Kyzatrex is excluded in California.
• Why online testosterone rules matter: Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance. That means it needs a valid prescription and has extra federal rules. Federal law generally requires an in-person medical evaluation before prescribing controlled medicines online, unless an exception applies. Through December 31, 2026, the current DEA–HHS flexibility allows qualifying DEA-registered clinicians to prescribe testosterone after an audio-video telemedicine visit without a prior in-person evaluation, provided federal and state requirements are met. If that changes, online TRT programs may change how they work. We'll update this page. ^{31 32}

Insurance and HSA/FSA

If you need insurance to cover your care, a local primary care doctor, urologist, or endocrinologist is usually the better starting point. If HSA or FSA use matters, confirm two things separately: whether Henry accepts your payment method and whether your plan considers the expense eligible. Henry's older help article says it does not accept FSA/HSA, while its newer terms say use may be possible under your plan's rules. You can also compare the alternatives section below. ^{13 21}

---

What about side effects, results, and having kids?

Answer: Testosterone therapy can raise blood pressure and red blood cell counts, so regular blood tests and checkups matter. It can also lower or stop sperm production. If you want children in the near future, see a urologist or fertility-aware clinician before starting at either company.

Safety: what both programs should be watching

• Blood pressure. In February 2025, the FDA removed boxed-warning language about heart attack and stroke risk from testosterone products. That change followed a large trial called TRAVERSE. At the same time, the FDA required all testosterone products to carry warnings about increased blood pressure. Kyzatrex's label includes blood pressure monitoring. ^{27 28}
• Red blood cells. Testosterone can raise hematocrit, which can raise clot risk. That's why follow-up blood work isn't optional. Kyzatrex's label calls for hematocrit checks about every three months; ask how that fits the included labs and what extra testing costs. ²⁷
• Prostate. Ask what prostate monitoring is appropriate for your age, risk factors and prescribed product. ^{24 27}
• Ongoing label updates. In June 2026, HHS and the FDA requested more class-wide label changes. These include removing the statement that safety and effectiveness have not been established for age-related hypogonadism, and revising prostate cancer and enlarged-prostate safety information. Requested changes don't mean every product label has already been updated. The current Kyzatrex label still contains its age-related limitation. ^{27 29 30}

For prostate or breast cancer, high hematocrit, untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea (blocked breathing during sleep), uncontrolled heart failure, or a heart attack or stroke in the past six months, start with your treating clinician. These are among the conditions for which the Endocrine Society recommends against starting testosterone. ²⁴

Call 911 for chest pain or sudden trouble breathing. Seek prompt medical assessment for new pain, swelling or redness in one leg. ^{27 44}

Will one give you better results?

We did not verify head-to-head clinical evidence showing that either platform produces better results. Kyzatrex is the same branded drug listed by both, but the injection offers can differ in the exact product and whether it is compounded. Your results depend on whether you truly have low testosterone, the treatment your clinician prescribes, and how well you're monitored. ^{26 27} Be wary of any page, including a provider's own, that promises specific gains in energy, muscle, or sex drive.

If you want children

Testosterone from outside your body can reduce or stop sperm production. Sperm production is called spermatogenesis. The Endocrine Society advises against starting testosterone in men planning a pregnancy soon. Kyzatrex's label warns that external testosterone can suppress sperm production. Neither loss of fertility nor recovery can be predicted for an individual from this comparison. ^{24 27}

This isn't a reason to panic. It's a reason to talk to the right doctor first. A reproductive urologist can lay out options that fit family plans. And enclomiphene is not a fertility guarantee, whatever an ad suggests. We did not verify a patient-specific fertility plan from either service's public pages. Our TRT and fertility guide lists the questions to raise before treatment.

Hims vs Henry Meds TRT: our verdict

Answer: Henry Meds is the clearer starting point for a published care bundle, compounded testosterone cream, or Kyzatrex outside California. Hims is the clearer starting point for a separately advertised FDA-approved generic shot or home blood collection. For injections, compare complete quotes and the exact product before naming a price winner.

Our conclusion comes from the costs, product lists, and terms above. It is not a medical judgment about you.

Neither one fits? Two other routes worth checking

Answer: If fertility, insurance or a complex health history rules out these cash-pay programs, start with the appropriate clinician or an in-network care route. If you are comparing cash-pay care and want a different published monitoring schedule, Male Excel and Hone Health are two other options. Neither is an automatic winner on cost, fertility or HSA/FSA reimbursement.

Partner disclosure: TRT Provider Guide's published disclosure lists paid partnerships with Male Excel and Hone Health. Pricing and research links below remain direct; the separately labeled offers are paid referrals. It doesn't change what we tell you about them.

For insurance or a broad medical workup, start with primary care, urology or endocrinology. For near-term fertility plans, start with reproductive urology. If you are considering the featured Male Excel offer, Find My TRT Path checks age and state eligibility; it does not choose a clinical care route.

Male Excel: for readers who want a published check-in schedule

Provider-stated prices checked November 11, 2026, from Male Excel's pricing and injection pages. ^{36 37}

• Start: $99 one-time for an at-home hormone test and a provider consultation
• Membership: $99 a month paid monthly, or $79 a month on an annual plan paid upfront
• Testosterone medication (priced separately): compounded testosterone cypionate shots from $62.50 a month, with syringes listed at $15 a month separately, plus shipping and handling. Compounded testosterone cream starts at $90 a month. Medication is typically billed every 60 days.
• Non-testosterone option: the pricing page lists enclomiphene from $75 a month. It is not TRT.
• Care rhythm: Male Excel says symptom check-ins every 60 days and blood tests every 6 months
• HSA/FSA: Male Excel says services and medications may be eligible. Check with your plan administrator.
• Rough first year (shots, monthly membership): $2,217 including the listed syringes, before shipping, handling, tax and prescription changes: $99 + 12 × ($99 + $62.50 + $15). The annual-membership version is $1,977: $99 + $948 + 12 × ($62.50 + $15). These are twelve-month-equivalent starting-price subtotals; confirm the actual payment dates.
• State access: the pricing page excludes Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. The FAQ also excludes Alabama and Minnesota. Confirm your state before paying. ^{36 38}
• Know before you go: Its advertised testosterone cypionate injections and topical testosterone are compounded, not FDA-approved. Its approach uses small daily injections instead of weekly shots. If an FDA-approved product is your priority, compare Hims' separately listed generic injection or either provider's Kyzatrex offer. Annual membership is paid upfront; cancelling does not establish a right to recover unused fees. ^{36 37 39}

If you want to compare that monitoring schedule and possible HSA/FSA reimbursement, see Male Excel's current pricing and terms →. Its symptom assessment is a screening step, not a diagnosis or prescription promise.

Hone Health: for men who want deeper lab tracking

Provider-stated prices and plan details checked November 11, 2026. ^{40 41}

• Start: $65 for an initial lab panel of 50+ markers plus a physician consult, with a $25 confirmatory lab test if TRT is being considered
• Premium membership: $155 a month, plus medication. The detailed lab schedule lists follow-up testing at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, then 18 and 24 months. Follow-up labs and consultations are included, but not every marker is repeated at every draw.
• Initial testing plus 12 Premium payments: $1,950 before medication, assuming unchanged rates: $65 + $25 + 12 × $155
• Know before you go: Medication is billed separately, and membership charges continue even in months without a shipment. It makes sense to investigate if the documented testing program is what you want; more tests do not by themselves prove better care. ^{41 42 43}

Before you pay anyone: your quote checklist

Answer: Before paying any online TRT program, get written answers on the exact medicine, the full payment schedule, repeat testing, and cancellation terms. A blank answer means the true cost is unknown, not zero. Use this list with Hims, Henry, or any provider.

Copy these questions and fill in both columns from each company's checkout screen or support team.

How to total it: add every membership charge, medication charge, and required extra charge for 12 months. Then subtract any confirmed discount. If any line is blank, don't call it a total yet.

How we compared Hims and Henry Meds

Answer: TRT Provider Guide read each company's current testosterone pages, program price sheets, terms, refund policies, and help articles, and checked medical and legal points against the FDA, DEA, and medical guidelines. We added up the costs ourselves. We did not buy treatment, test customer support, or check the license of any specific clinician or pharmacy.

We follow our published method, How We Review TRT Providers. It separates what we verified, what a company says about itself, what customers report, and our own conclusions. We do not assign scores in this comparison, and listing a provider doesn't mean we endorse it.

What we actually verified

Date: November 11, 2026

Sources checked: Hims' testosterone page and FAQ, its October 21, 2026 launch announcement, oral and generic TRT pages, membership terms and support policies. Henry Meds' TRT page, Programs price sheet (last updated December 3, 2025), Terms of Service (last updated August 6, 2026), Refunds, Returns & Replacements Policy, and lab and contract help pages. FDA, DEA, and HHS announcements and current product labeling. Endocrine Society and American Urological Association guidance. The FTC's case record and November 10 amendment, plus Hims' response. Male Excel's pricing, injection, FAQ and terms pages, and Hone's current plan, lab and billing pages.

Verified documentary facts: The current published offers and contractual wording shown above, the arithmetic in our cost models, testosterone's Schedule III status, the federal telemedicine extension through December 31, 2026, FDA-approved versus compounded product distinctions, the FDA labeling announcements, and the FTC case's pending status. Checking a written policy is not the same as testing whether each patient receives the promised service.

Provider-stated, not independently tested: Prices and bundled services, Hims' 22-marker lab panel and 24/7 messaging, Henry's delivery estimates and "two clicks" cancellation, and each provider's monitoring claims. We did not independently certify pharmacy quality or measure response times.

What we couldn't confirm: Your selected Hims membership price and renewal schedule; your complete checkout totals and commitments; the exact injection Henry would dispense to you; your assigned clinicians and pharmacies; full current TRT state lists; each program's complete repeat early-morning diagnostic process; and real-world support, cancellation, records access and shipping speed. Henry publishes monthly pricing; its 28-day quantity wording does not establish 28-day billing.

Customer-experience signals: We did not use testimonials, star ratings or anonymous anecdotes to decide this comparison. The FTC allegations are an official enforcement record, not a finding of clinical effectiveness.

Editorial conclusion: Our fit judgments come from the documented treatment menus, price components and terms. They do not determine medical eligibility.

Frequently asked questions

Both now list testosterone, but their product choices and billing models differ. The answers below address the costs, tests and care decisions that can change the choice.

Does Hims offer real testosterone now?

Yes. On October 21, 2026, Hims added a compounded testosterone shot, a generic FDA-approved testosterone shot, and Kyzatrex. Before that launch, its testosterone-care offering centered on enclomiphene-based treatment, which is not testosterone. ²

Is Henry Meds or Hims cheaper for TRT?

Henry's published annual base is $1,548 for its $129 plan or $2,148 for Kyzatrex, before charges outside the bundle. Hims' annualized medication-only minimums are $948 for compounded cypionate, $1,908 for generic cypionate and $2,148 for Kyzatrex, plus required membership. A complete quote is needed for a full-cost winner. ^{1 5 12}

Is Hims Testosterone Rx+ the same as Kyzatrex?

No. Testosterone Rx+ combines enclomiphene, tadalafil, and supplements. It is not testosterone, and that compounded combination is not FDA-approved. Kyzatrex is an FDA-approved testosterone pill. ^{1 26 27}

Does Henry Meds use compounded testosterone?

Sometimes. Henry's cream is compounded. Its shot plan covers testosterone cypionate that may be commercial or compounded. Kyzatrex is FDA-approved. Ask Henry which you'll receive before enrolling. ^{12 27}

Does Henry Meds include labs?

Yes, Henry says labs are included in its TRT plan, usually through Quest Diagnostics. Its published male panel lists total testosterone, CBC, LH, PSA and a comprehensive metabolic panel. Its follow-up instructions tie testing to prescription renewal; confirm the schedule and the cost of any repeat diagnostic draw. ^{11 16 18}

Is the Hims membership $49 a month?

Hims says you pay a $49 membership fee at checkout, with medication billed separately. Its support page says the price varies with the selected billing schedule, and its terms allow monthly or annual renewal. Confirm the actual renewal amount and interval; $49 at checkout does not prove $49 every month. ^{1 5 6}

Can I use insurance or my HSA at Hims or Henry Meds?

Neither takes insurance. Hims says its testosterone program is not eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement at this time. Henry's older help page says it does not accept FSA/HSA, while its newer terms allow that some expenses may qualify under your plan. Confirm payment acceptance with Henry and eligibility with your plan administrator. ^{1 13 21}

Which one has better dosing?

This comparison cannot establish a better dosing plan for you. Your clinician sets the dose based on your labs, symptoms and health history. Henry's $129 plan covers up to a set amount of medication, and Henry says larger amounts can cost extra. ^{12 19}

Are Hims and Henry Meds legit?

Both operate U.S. telehealth platforms and describe care through licensed clinicians and pharmacies. We did not verify the specific clinician or pharmacy that would be assigned to you. The FTC case against Hims over alleged billing, cancellation and data-sharing practices remained pending on November 11, 2026; Hims denies the claims. Read checkout terms carefully at either company. ^{6 13 33 35}

Can I switch from one to the other?

You can ask to transfer care, but the new clinician decides whether to accept you and what records, examination or repeat tests are needed. Henry says recent outside lab results may be accepted at the clinician's discretion. Request your medical records before you leave. Never stop or change testosterone on your own. Plan the switch with your prescriber. ^{10 22 23}

What happens to online TRT after December 31, 2026?

The current federal flexibility allows qualifying controlled-substance prescribing without a prior in-person evaluation through December 31, 2026. Testosterone prescribing still must meet federal and state requirements, including the applicable audio-video encounter rules. If it's not extended or replaced, online programs may need to change their process. We'll update this page when the rule changes. ³¹

Should I start TRT if I want kids?

Talk to a urologist or fertility-aware clinician first. Testosterone can lower or stop sperm production, and the Endocrine Society advises against starting it when a pregnancy is planned soon. ²⁴
