How to read this comparison
This is a comparison of Hims and Keeps. FOLIGAIN® publishes this resource but is not part of this comparison; both names are trademarks of their owners.
OTC Minoxidil products at the same strength contain the same active ingredient under the same FDA rules. Real differences are usually format, inactive ingredients (such as propylene glycol or alcohol level), pack size, price per month, buying channel and whether a subscription or telehealth visit is involved.
Prices and ranges change often. Where a row says 'Not offered / not verified', we have not confirmed the product on a current label.
About Hims
Hims is a US telehealth brand for men. It sells OTC topical Minoxidil (5% solution and foam) directly, and after an online consultation with a licensed provider it can prescribe oral finasteride (generic Propecia®) or compounded combination products such as its topical finasteride 0.3% + Minoxidil 6% spray.
Hims is explicit that its compounded 'Hair Hybrids' are not FDA-approved or verified by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. OTC Minoxidil, approved generics and compounded products are different categories and are never compared as if they were the same thing.
- Online consultations with licensed providers included
- Both OTC Minoxidil and prescription/compounded options in one account
- Once-daily compounded finasteride + Minoxidil spray
- Subscription delivery with free shipping
About Keeps
Keeps is an online hair-loss service for men. You pick a plan, a licensed medical provider confirms it's right for you, and treatment is delivered every three, six or twelve months.
Its plans include topical Minoxidil (foam or solution), prescription finasteride tablets, the two combined, and newer prescription-only compounded formulas. On its combination page the Minoxidil listed is Rogaine®-branded.
- Subscription delivery every 3, 6 or 12 months
- Provider review and ongoing messaging
- Prescription and compounded options alongside OTC Minoxidil
How to choose
Pick the label that matches your sex and needs, then the format you'll use consistently. Compare cost per month rather than per bottle, and ask a pharmacist if you have health conditions.
