| Price shape | Intro or promo price | Membership excludes medication |
| What the price doesn’t say | $99 is a first-month price, not a rate. The product page shows that one number under a “while supplies last” banner, and the ongoing rate from month two is not published anywhere on it. Including the subscription, refill and refund sections, which we opened and read. It is a cancel-anytime subscription with a monthly refill, so there is a second month at a price you cannot find out before you pay. That is why this figure is excluded from our cheapest-ongoing-rate comparisons. | $149/mo is the membership alone, month to month ($39 for the first month). Medication is billed on top: from $149/mo for the Wegovy pill, $199/mo for the Wegovy pen and $299/mo for Zepbound, so the lowest total is about $298/mo. Hims prints a starting price per drug but no price for each dose. |
