| Watch out for | The headline 'from $20/mo' applies to the cheapest medication on the longest plan; most subscribers pay more after the first cycle. Hims' overall Trustpilot profile was 3.0 across 8,286 reviews in an August 2026 check. | Every price is quoted per month but billed as a 90-day supply, so the cheapest line is $24.99/mo only as a $75 charge up front. Dutasteride is prescribed off-label for hair loss, and the gels are compounded, so neither is FDA-approved in that form. |
The black tag marks the lower price where both providers publish one. Shaded prices are still pending a checkout check. Full detail: Hims · Maximus.
