Hims is the most flexible menu if you want options beyond a plain pill: chews, mints and 2-in-1 combinations. Its generic sildenafil and tadalafil plans start at $22 and $24 a month. Because those are 'starting at' prices tied to a subscription plan, check the dose count and billing cycle before you confirm.
Good fit if…
- You'd like a chewable or flavored option
- You're interested in a combination product (for example ED plus early climax)
- You prefer one monthly bill that just shows up
Look elsewhere if…
- You want to see an exact per-dose price before signing up — Ro publishes that, Hims doesn't
- You only want FDA-approved products — several Hims headline products are compounded

What Hims sells for ED
Hims sorts its ED products by when you want them to work:
- “For sex on your schedule” — taken before sex: generic Viagra (sildenafil), generic Cialis (tadalafil), sildenafil chews, tadalafil chews, 3-in-1 Hard Mints and a 3-in-1 pill.
- “For spontaneous sex” — daily 2-in-1 plans that pair an ED prescription (“Sex Rx”) with something else: hair, testosterone support, a multivitamin, climax control or cholesterol support.
The generics are FDA-approved. The chews, mints and combination products are compounded: a pharmacy mixes them, and the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness or quality. Hims says so on the page, which I appreciate.
Reading the “starting at” prices
Every Hims price on the ED page is written as “starting at … /mo”, with a footnote that the actual price “will depend on product and subscription plan purchased.” In practice that means:
- The lowest figure usually reflects the smallest dose count or the longest billing commitment.
- A plan with more doses, or billed monthly instead of every few months, will cost more.
Before you confirm, find two numbers on the checkout screen: how many doses you get each cycle, and how long the cycle is. Divide one by the other and you have the real per-dose price — the one number Hims doesn’t print on its ED page.
How getting started works
Hims describes three steps: a free online assessment about your symptoms and health history, a review by a licensed medical provider, and, if prescribed, free and discreet shipping.
Who Hims is a good fit for
Hims is the most flexible menu of the big services. If a plain pill isn’t appealing, or you want a combination plan, it gives you the most to choose from. If your priority is simply the lowest transparent price for a generic, look at Ro’s published price list side by side. The Hims vs Ro comparison puts both on one table.

Frequently asked questions
How much is Hims for ED?

Are Hims Hard Mints FDA-approved?
No. Hims labels its chews, mints and combination products as compounded, and the FDA does not approve or verify the safety, effectiveness or quality of compounded drugs. The generic sildenafil and tadalafil it sells are FDA-approved generics.
Is the Hims assessment free?
Yes, Hims describes its online assessment as free. A licensed provider then decides whether a prescription is appropriate.
Does Hims take insurance for ED?
The Hims ED page doesn't list insurance pricing; the prices it shows are subscription prices. If insurance matters to you, ask before you pay, or compare with a prescription filled at your own pharmacy.
