HeydayMD vs Hims: what actually matters

What are you actually buying?

HeydayMD prescribes testosterone injections, testosterone cream and enclomiphene, with medication included on every plan (its plans, read 29 September 2026). Hims sells only oral enclomiphene for low testosterone, and its FAQ says it does not currently offer TRT injections (hims.com, read 14 October 2026). Injections and cream replace testosterone; enclomiphene prompts the body to raise its own.

What does each cost over 12 months?

HeydayMD's annual plan is $1,188 billed upfront, the $99 a month figure, with the first at-home lab kit included. Its six-month plan is $699 upfront ($116 a month) and the lab kit is $229 extra on it. Follow-up lab panels are $229 each on every plan. Hims charges $990 upfront for ten months and publishes no price for the months after, so the two headline numbers are both prepaid, for different lengths.

Are labs included?

The first kit is included only on HeydayMD's 12-month plan; every follow-up panel is $229 (read 29 September 2026). We have no lab terms for Hims, whose pages returned an error to our checker on 11 and 24 September 2026.

Can you get it in your state?

HeydayMD does not offer TRT in Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey or Rhode Island (its terms, updated 20 October 2026). We have no state list for Hims on record.

Can you cancel?

HeydayMD lets you cancel the renewal at any time with no fee; the membership runs to the end of the term you paid and there are no refunds for unused time, except a refund minus the $229 lab kit if you turn out not to be a candidate (read 15 October 2026). Hims renews unless you cancel two days before renewal and does not refund partly used periods (its terms, read 14 October 2026).

Who are the clinicians?

HeydayMD names its 32 network clinicians with their NPI numbers, each matching the federal registry. Hims & Hers has an open FDA warning letter from 9 September 2025 about how it marketed compounded GLP-1 drugs, not about testosterone.

No spam, no daily digest. Just the clinics you're comparing, when their verified price moves.

How we score: every clinic is rated on five weighted criteria from documented evidence. Prices are checked weekly by an automated job against each clinic's live page; a price unconfirmed for 45 days is automatically relabeled “Last confirmed” instead of “Verified.” Scores are never influenced by affiliate commissions. “Visit” buttons are affiliate links that support our work.
