SHED
Hims vs SHED
Hims: The biggest name in men's telehealth. Wide hair menu, free consult, and introductory prices that rise after the first plan.
SHED: A GLP-1 weight-loss service that added hair treatment in 2025. Four compounded products, men's and women's, each with its price on its own page - unusual for a brand whose main business is somewhere else.

| 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. | Hair is a sideline here: the site is built around GLP-1 weight loss and every hair page carries weight-loss promotions. Every price is 'starting at', and the 120-day money-back guarantee shouted on the home page covers the weight-loss programme, not the hair products. |
The black tag marks the lower price where both providers publish one. Shaded prices are still pending a checkout check. Full detail: Hims · SHED.
