Hims vs Fridays: The Cheaper One Changes With the Category
Which of these two is cheaper depends on which treatment you came for, and the answer reverses between the two categories they share. On testosterone, Hims is the lower of the pair, from $99 a month as of 2026-09-12. Fridays lists injectable care from $129 a month, a figure we hold with no verification date. On weight loss, it flips hard: Fridays from $150 a month as of 2026-09-12 on prepaid plans, against Hims from $298 a month as of 2026-09-12 once the required membership is counted alongside the medication. There are two things to carry into the detail below. Our Fridays testosterone figure has no verification date attached in our records, so treat it as the number to re-check on joinfridays.com. And the regulatory histories are not symmetrical: Hims is covered by an open FDA warning letter, and our file holds none for Fridays.

How We Compared Hims vs Fridays
How we priced this comparison
Every figure here comes from our own brand records for Fridays and Hims, each carrying the date we last checked it. Where a figure is dated, we print the date. The Fridays testosterone floor of $129 a month has no verification date in our records, so we name the number and attach no date to it, and we tell you to re-check it at the source rather than dressing it up as confirmed.
Where a floor is the sum of two charges, we show the addition: $149 for the cheapest Hims medication tier plus the required membership is the floor we publish. Where a floor depends on a condition, we name the condition, which is why the Fridays weight loss floor is described as a prepaid plan price. We do not average promotional and standard pricing into a single number, and we do not plan around sale codes.
Where our records are silent, this page says so: the formats behind the Hims testosterone tier, whether labs are included in it, whether Fridays' enclomiphene is compounded, and HSA or FSA acceptance at Fridays. Silence is reported as silence.
The regulatory section is drawn from FDA warning letter records, identified by MARCS-CMS number and date, with status reported as the agency's own index shows it, including the absence of a close-out letter. We paraphrase the marketing language at issue rather than repeat it.
Final Verdict: Hims vs Fridays
The verdict
There is no single winner here, and anyone who tells you otherwise has picked one category and ignored the other.
For testosterone, Hims is cheaper at the entry point, from $99 a month as of 2026-09-12, and it lists providers in all 50 states plus FSA and HSA eligibility. Fridays asks $30 more, listing injectable care on a figure we hold with no verification date, and it tells you considerably more about what you get for it: a baseline biomarker assessment through Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp, and a clinician reviewing your labs before a plan is written. If you want to know what you are buying before you buy it, that $30 is doing real work. Re-check the Fridays figure on the site, because ours is undated.
For weight loss, Fridays is the cheaper route by a wide margin, from $150 a month as of 2026-09-12, and the reason is in the product: it is compounded semaglutide on a prepaid plan, so it carries no FDA approval and no FDA review for safety, effectiveness or quality. Hims starts at $298 a month as of 2026-09-12 because its cheapest medication tier comes with a required membership you cannot decline, and its lineup is described as including name-brand FDA-approved options. That is the trade: roughly half the price, or a product with an approval behind it.
One asymmetry to hold onto. Hims carries an open FDA warning letter about how a compounded GLP-1 was marketed, and our file holds no regulatory note for Fridays, which is an empty record rather than a clearance. In both cases the defense is the same and it is boring: make the company name the exact medication behind the exact price, and get it in writing before you pay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fridays or Hims cheaper for testosterone treatment?
Hims, on the figures we hold: from $99 a month as of 2026-09-12, against Fridays from $129 a month for injectable care. Our Fridays testosterone figure carries no verification date in our records, so check it on joinfridays.com before you plan around it. The $30 gap also buys different amounts of disclosure, since Fridays itemizes a baseline biomarker assessment through Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp and Hims does not state what its entry price includes.
Why is the Hims weight loss price here $298 when the advertising says $149?
Because the membership is separate and required. Hims lists oral GLP-1 options from $149 a month and a required membership billed at that same rate, which together make the $298 floor in our records as of 2026-09-12. The advertised figure is the medication alone.
Does the Fridays testosterone price include lab work?
Fridays lists a free biomarker assessment through Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp with its injectable tier, and says licensed US clinicians review your lab results before writing a treatment plan. Our Hims record does not say whether labs are included in its entry tier, so we are not going to claim either way.
Is Fridays' semaglutide FDA approved?
No. Fridays lists it as compounded semaglutide, from $150 a month as of 2026-09-12 on prepaid plans. Compounded medicines carry no FDA approval, and the FDA has not reviewed them for safety, effectiveness or quality. Hims describes its own lineup as including name-brand FDA-approved options, though our record does not say which price tier buys which product, so ask Hims to name the medication behind the figure you are quoted.
Can I take a capsule instead of a testosterone injection with Fridays?
Fridays lists daily enclomiphene capsules from $169 a month as its non-injection route. Enclomiphene is not an FDA-approved product, and our records do not say whether the Fridays version is compounded, so ask before ordering. Testosterone cypionate injections, by contrast, are FDA-approved.
Does Hims accept HSA or FSA funds?
Our record lists the Hims testosterone program as FSA and HSA eligible. We hold no HSA or FSA note for Fridays in either category, so treat that as unverified rather than as a no.
What is the FDA warning letter about Hims?
MARCS-CMS 716567, sent to Hims and Hers Health, Inc. on September 9, 2025 after a review of hims.com the previous month. It concerns two marketing lines used for a compounded semaglutide, and the agency cited misbranding under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act because compounded drug products hold no FDA approval. We checked FDA's warning letter index for MARCS-CMS 716567 on October 6, 2026: it listed no response letter and no close-out letter, so the letter has not been closed out. Our records carry no regulatory note for Fridays, which is not the same as a clearance.
Can I cancel either plan?
Both say so. Fridays lists no commitment so you can cancel anytime, in its testosterone listing. Hims lists cancel anytime with no commitment. If you take the Fridays prepaid weight loss plan, bear in mind that prepaying and canceling anytime are different promises, so confirm how a prepaid term is refunded before you commit.
