What is Hims?
Hims is one of the largest telehealth platforms for men's health in the US, covering ED, hair loss, mental health and more. Its ED offering centers on prescription sildenafil and tadalafil, as standard tablets, chewable formats, or personalized combinations, prescribed after a free online assessment reviewed by licensed providers.
The scale is the point: Hims has served millions of customers, its pricing is aggressive, and the app experience, refills, provider messaging, dose changes, is among the most polished in the category. For men who want a trusted mainstream option rather than a niche clinic, Hims is the default choice.
How Hims works
- Take the free online assessment, answer health questions in about five minutes; no appointment or insurance needed.
- Provider prescribes if appropriate, a licensed provider reviews your intake and selects medication and dose.
- Medication ships discreetly, orders arrive in plain packaging with free shipping on subscriptions.
- Manage everything in the app, refills, provider messages and plan changes are handled digitally.
Hims pricing
Hims advertises ED treatment from under $2 per dose on longer-term generic sildenafil plans, genuinely low for the category. Chewable and personalized formats cost more per dose, and monthly totals depend on how many doses your plan includes. There are no consultation fees, and subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
Who Hims is best for
- Budget-focused buyers who want the lowest per-dose cost from a major brand
- Men who prefer a household-name company over a smaller telehealth clinic
- Anyone who wants ED care alongside other men's health services in one account
Our verdict on Hims
Hims delivers exactly what you'd expect from the category leader: low prices, broad options and a frictionless experience. It loses a step to BlueChew only on format focus and the feel of personal care, which is why it sits at #2 with a 9.5. If per-dose cost is your deciding factor, Hims is the one to beat.
