What Hims & Hers Charges for a GLP-1, and What Its Filings Say

The average Hims & Hers subscriber pays $92 a month across everything the company sells. Its own filings show a $38.1m restructuring away from compounded GLP-1s and a Novo Nordisk lawsuit seeking an injunction.

Most writing about what Hims & Hers charges for a GLP-1 quotes a price from an advertisement. There is a better source, and it is public: the company files quarterly with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and those filings say things about its weight-loss business that its marketing pages do not.

Everything below is from the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended 30 June 2026, filed on 10 August 2026 under SEC accession number 0001773751-26-000163. This page reports what the company discloses. It does not recommend a medicine or a provider, as our editorial standards set out.

The number that survives a price change

Advertised telehealth prices move month to month, which is why quoting one without a date is close to useless. The company's own subscriber economics move more slowly, and it publishes them.

Metric, quarter ended 30 June 2026 2025 Change
Subscribers (end of period) 2,891,000 2,439,000 +19%
Monthly Revenue per Average Subscriber $92 $76 +21%
United States revenue $621.8m $537.3m +16%
Rest of the World revenue $131.4m $7.5m +1,641%

Ninety-two dollars a month is what the average subscriber generates across everything the company sells — weight loss, hair, skin, mental health, sexual health, the lot. The company adds two qualifications to it. Excluding its Eucalyptus acquisition, the quarterly figure would have been $90. And the metric includes people who made one-time purchases and are not subscribers at all; without them it would be roughly $10 lower.

That is a blended average, not a price, and nobody is quoted $92 at checkout. Its use is as a reality check. A subscription business whose average customer yields about ninety dollars a month is not one where large numbers of people are paying several hundred dollars a month for long.

The $38.1 million the filing does not put in an advertisement

Here is the disclosure that changes how the price should be read.

In March 2026, the Company announced a strategic shift for its United States weight loss offering ("2026 US WL Announcement"). As a result, the Company evolved its United States weight loss offering to match the Company's global approach towards providing access to branded glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist ("GLP-1") medications, and offering access to compounded GLP-1 medications through the platform on a limited scale.

And the cost of doing it: $4.6 million in restructuring and other related charges in the second quarter, $38.1 million across the first six months of 2026.

The compounded-GLP-1 offering is what made this company's weight-loss pricing famous. The filing says the US business has been reorganised to lead with branded medications instead, with compounded access continuing "on a limited scale" — and that reorganisation cost thirty-eight million dollars in half a year. Companies do not spend that unwinding a product line they expect to keep selling at the same volume.

For a prospective customer the implication is practical rather than dramatic: the cheap compounded tier is the part of this business the company itself has been moving away from, and a price quoted against it is a price attached to a shrinking offering.

The lawsuit, stated fairly

In the same filing, under contingencies:

On February 9, 2026, Novo Nordisk A/S and Novo Nordisk Inc. (together, "Novo Nordisk") filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware captioned Novo Nordisk A/S, et al. v. Hims & Hers Health, Inc., et al., No. 1:26-cv-0014. The complaint asserts claims for patent infringement related to Novo Nordisk's U.S. Patent No. 8,129,343 (the "'343" patent) in connection with compounded GLP-1 products containing semaglutide available, based on a prescription, through the Company's digital platform.

Novo Nordisk seeks damages, enhanced damages for alleged willful infringement, and a permanent injunction barring the conduct.

Two things need saying about this, and both matter. First, a complaint contains allegations, not findings. Nothing has been decided, the company has not been found to infringe anything, and it is entitled to defend itself. Second, an injunction request is nonetheless a real fact about supply: the remedy being sought is not money but a court order stopping the product. A patient building a year of treatment around a particular compounded supply route has an interest in knowing that the route is the subject of a pending injunction request, whatever the eventual outcome.

Read together with the $38.1 million restructuring, the direction is consistent. The company was already moving toward branded medications before the case is anywhere near resolved.

Where the growth is actually coming from

The headline for the quarter is 38% total revenue growth. That is true and it is mostly not the US business.

Rest of the World revenue went from $7.5 million to $131.4 million — a 1,641% increase that reflects the Eucalyptus acquisition rather than organic demand. Strip it out and the picture is quieter: United States revenue rose 16% for the quarter and 3% for the half, $1,151.7 million against $1,116.0 million. Over six months, the US business is close to flat.

Within that, the filing is specific about the source:

The increases in United States Revenue ... were primarily driven by growth in our Hers brand as a result of an expanded assortment of branded weight loss offerings

So the growing part of the US weight-loss business is the Hers side, and it is growing on branded products. Both storefronts belong to one operator with one subscriber count and one set of filings, which is worth knowing for anyone comparing a price on one against a price on the other — and it is a further sign that the branded shift is where the business is going, not merely where the accountants are.

What this means for the price on the page

None of the above tells anyone what they will be quoted this week, and that is the point. Advertised telehealth prices in this category are promotional, change frequently, and increasingly attach to a compounded tier the company is deliberately shrinking. A figure without a date and a product type — branded or compounded — is not a comparable number.

What the filings give instead is durable context: a business of 2.9 million subscribers averaging about $90 a month, growing 3% in the US over six months, that has spent $38.1 million pivoting its weight-loss line toward branded medicines while contesting a patent suit over the compounded ones.

For a reader comparing routes on price alone, the branded manufacturers' own self-pay programmes are the other side of the comparison, and their published conditions do more to the real cost than the headline does — the detail is on our GLP-1 cost page and in the brand pages for Zepbound and Wegovy. For how a membership-plus-medication structure prices out in practice, the arithmetic is worked through in our Mochi Health review. And the wider question of what happened to compounded semaglutide as a category is covered in what replaced it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a GLP-1 cost through Hims or Hers?

The company's advertised weight-loss prices change frequently and depend on whether the product is a branded GLP-1 or a compounded preparation, so any single figure needs a date attached. The durable number is from the company's own filing: across everything it sells, the average subscriber generated $92 a month in the quarter ended 30 June 2026, or about $90 excluding its Eucalyptus acquisition. That is the blended reality of its subscription base rather than a quoted price, and it is a useful check on any headline monthly figure seen in an advertisement.

Does Hims still sell compounded semaglutide?

On a reduced basis, by its own account. Its 10-Q states that in March 2026 it 'evolved its United States weight loss offering to match the Company's global approach towards providing access to branded' GLP-1 medications, 'and offering access to compounded GLP-1 medications through the platform on a limited scale.' The company booked $38.1 million of restructuring and related charges across the first half of 2026 in connection with that shift. A business does not spend $38 million reorganising around a product line it expects to keep selling at the same scale.

Is Hims & Hers being sued over GLP-1s?

Yes, and the company discloses it. On 9 February 2026 Novo Nordisk filed suit in the US District Court for the District of Delaware, case No. 1:26-cv-0014, alleging infringement of US Patent No. 8,129,343 by compounded GLP-1 products containing semaglutide supplied through the platform. Novo Nordisk seeks damages, enhanced damages for alleged willful infringement, and a permanent injunction. Nothing here is a finding against the company — an allegation in a complaint is an allegation — but a pending injunction request is a fact about the durability of a supply route a subscriber may be planning around.

Why does the Hers brand keep coming up in the numbers?

Because that is where the growth is. The filing attributes the quarter's 16% US revenue rise 'primarily' to 'growth in our Hers brand as a result of an expanded assortment of branded weight loss offerings.' The two brands are one business with one set of filings and one subscriber count; the demand for weight-loss care is arriving disproportionately through the women's-health brand. Anyone comparing a Hims price with a Hers price is comparing two storefronts of a single operator.

Is the company actually growing?

In subscribers and total revenue, yes; in the United States, much less than the headline suggests. Subscribers rose 19% to 2.891 million and total revenue rose 38% for the quarter. But most of that total-revenue jump is the Eucalyptus acquisition: Rest of the World revenue went from $7.5 million to $131.4 million. United States revenue rose 16% for the quarter and only 3% for the half — $1,151.7 million against $1,116.0 million. The US business is close to flat over six months.

How does this compare with buying the branded drug directly?

It is a different transaction. A telehealth subscription bundles clinical access, and in some configurations the medication, into a recurring charge; the manufacturers' self-pay programmes sell an approved product at a published price with conditions attached. The current manufacturer figures and the conditions behind them are on our [GLP-1 cost page](/cost/glp-1), with brand-level detail for [Zepbound](/cost/zepbound), [Wegovy](/cost/wegovy), [Mounjaro](/cost/mounjaro) and [Ozempic](/cost/ozempic).
