Hims scores 6.5/10 (#19 of 20 clinics) — we rate it Best Brand Name. We could not reconfirm Hims's price at our last check (2026-06-04) — treat the previously-recorded $99/mo as unconfirmed, not current. There is also a flagged concern — see Is Hims legit? below.

Independently verified on Trustpilot: 2.9/5 from 9,153 reviews (checked 2026-08-30). 2,380 of those (26%) are from the last 12 months — a rating resting mostly on old reviews reads differently than one built on recent ones. Company-wide rating across all Hims & Hers services, not TRT-specific. See reviews →
Watch out for
In September 2025 the FDA issued warning letters to Hims & Hers over misleading marketing of its compounded GLP-1 products (claiming 'the same active ingredient' as FDA-approved Ozempic/Wegovy, which compounded drugs are not evaluated for). This is about the company's compounded-drug advertising practices broadly, not its TRT program specifically — but worth knowing when weighing marketing claims from this brand. (Source: fda.gov warning letters to Hims & Hers Health, Inc., issued 2025-09-09.)
FDA warning letters on file
Hims & Hers Health, Inc. dba Hims — MARCS-CMS 716567, issued 2025-09-09 (Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)).
FDA states it reviewed hims.com in August 2025 and cites on-site claims — "Same active ingredient as Ozempic and Wegovy", "Clinically proven ingredients" — for implying the compounded semaglutide sold is the same as the FDA-approved product. FDA states compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, making the claims false or misleading and the products misbranded under FDCA sections 502(a) and 502(bb) [21 U.S.C. §§ 352(a), 352(bb)]. Concerns the company's compounded-GLP-1 marketing broadly, not its TRT program specifically — Hims & Hers Health, Inc. is the same corporate parent trt-picks reviews under the Hims brand.
Hims & Hers Health, Inc. dba Hers — MARCS-CMS 716825, issued 2025-09-09 (Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)).
Same-day companion letter to the one above, addressed to the same parent company's forhers.com site. FDA cites claims — "Weekly injectable GLP-1 with the same active ingredient as Ozempic and Wegovy", "Clinically proven ingredients" — on the same grounds: implying FDA-approved-equivalence for a compounded, non-FDA-approved product, in violation of FDCA sections 502(a) and 502(bb) [21 U.S.C. §§ 352(a), 352(bb)]. Included here because it names the same legal entity (Hims & Hers Health, Inc.) that operates the Hims brand this site reviews — one cap per provider regardless of letter count, per the rule.
This is an allegation in FDA's opening enforcement communication — not an adjudicated finding of wrongdoing. See the full picture across every clinic we track →
Confirmed regulatory action on file
FTC, joined by California and Utah lawsuit against Hims & Hers Health, Inc. — filed 2026-07-29 (3:26-cv-7871 (N.D. Cal.)).
Shared consumers' sensitive health information with third-party advertising platforms owned by Meta and Snap — via customer lists and tracking technology recording on-site "Events" — despite privacy representations that this data would be protected. Also alleges Hims fails to clearly disclose that it charges consumers almost immediately after intake-form submission, and makes cancellation difficult.
Does not move Hims' transparency score further — already at the 4.0 floor from its open FDA warning letters, shown above. Disclosed on its own because it is, on its face, a more directly on-point transparency finding than the FDA letter: sharing health data with ad platforms while claiming to protect it is squarely about trust, not a marketing-claims technicality. A reader should not read "no further score movement" as "inconsequential."
A government enforcement action confirming or alleging deceptive billing, cancellation, or data-handling practices caps this provider's transparency score the same way an open FDA warning letter does — one cap regardless of how many actions are on file. See our editorial policy →

Third-party records
What we found outside Hims's own site — BBB, its named pharmacy partner (or lack of one), and whether it publishes a real HIPAA notice.
Better Business Bureau
Not Rated · not BBB accredited (checked 2026-08-30)
Dismissed: "Hims Inc dba Selvas BLV", Austin, TX — a retail optical-goods business, unrelated name coincidence only.
This is the entity named in Hims' own open FDA warning letters (see /fda-warning-letters). A second, separate BBB filing — "Hims & Hers Inc.", San Francisco, CA, accredited since 2018, also "Not Rated" — appears to be a related corporate filing (parent/subsidiary or address-of-record difference), not confirmed as a duplicate.
Pharmacy partner
Inconclusive on a true compounding/fulfillment pharmacy partner — hims.com is fully blocked. Investor/press materials name Marius Pharmaceuticals as the maker of Hims' branded oral testosterone product; that is a drug-manufacturer relationship, not confirmed as the compounding-pharmacy relationship this category tracks, so it is not counted as "named."
HIPAA disclosure
Inconclusive — hims.com returns HTTP 403 on every page, including a likely /notice-of-privacy-practices path suggested by cached search results. We do not report a notice as confirmed published without independently loading it.

Score breakdown
How Hims works
- 1. Online intake. Complete a medical questionnaire about your symptoms and health history.
- 2. Bloodwork. Because testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance, you'll do lab testing (at-home kit or a local lab) — never a questionnaire-only prescription.
- 3. Clinician review & delivery. A licensed clinician reviews your labs and, if appropriate, prescribes treatment shipped discreetly to your door, with ongoing monitoring.
