Hone Health Review: Every Price Ends in “+ membership”
Hone Health publishes a price for every hormone it sells — more than forty of them, which is rare here — and puts three words after each one: "+ membership". That membership is $155 a month and every hormone page carries the badge, so it is a condition of buying, not a choice. Testosterone at "from $28" is $183 a month, and $248 in the first cycle once the entry test is counted.

The money verdict
I would buy here if I were on two or three hormones at once, because the membership is charged per patient rather than per product and the math turns in your favor. On a single prescription it is poor value: $155 of every month buys no medicine at all.
Worth it if
- You will be on two or three hormones at once — the membership is charged once per patient, not once per product.
- You want a published price for the drug itself, and there are more than forty of them.
- You want month to month, with no prepay tier and no introductory rate waiting to expire.
Look elsewhere if
- You want the first month to cost what the page says: testosterone at $28 is $183 with the membership, and more again with the entry test.
- You live in one of the fourteen places none of Hone's four programs reach, or in California or Hawaii, where injectables are not offered.
- You expect not to be billed in a month when nothing ships — Hone says that is expected and normal.
- You want the membership rate to be one number: the public table and the help center disagree.

Best for: You will be on two or three hormones at once — the membership is charged once per patient, not once per product. Skip it if: You want the first month to cost what the page says: testosterone at $28 is $183 with the membership, and more again with the entry test.
What’s included
- A $155/month Premium membership, which every hormone product page requires — testing every three months, physician consultations, and access to the whole medication catalog
- An entry biomarker test at $65, charged once. Hone's buy box shows it struck through from $165
- Month-to-month billing with no commitment — Hone's own words are "No commitments. Cancel anytime."
- NOT the medication. Hone's help center: "What Your Membership Fee Does NOT Cover — The cost of medications — these are billed separately at the time of shipment."
- NOT insurance of any kind. Hone states it doesn’t accept insurance; the memberships and tests are HSA/FSA eligible
Pricing, per compound
Everything Hone Health sells, cheapest year first. “Advertised” is the price it leads with; “Walk-away” is what you pay if you stop after one cycle.

The year at this dose — 12 payments, or 13 where a seller bills every four weeks. Several charge more as you move to a higher dose; where they publish that, the row says so.

Pros and cons
Pros
- There is no prepay tier and no introductory rate on its site — the $25 and $155 figures are month-to-month, with cancellation any time.
- Every product has a published price, and there are more than forty of them, where most hormone sellers publish a membership fee and nothing else.
- The membership is charged once per patient rather than per product, so someone on two hormones pays $155, not $310.
- No FDA warning letter.
- The states it serves are published as a table, per program, including the partial cases like California and Hawaii, which are served without injectables.
- The corporate identity is disclosed: Time Therapeutics runs the platform, Broad Health the clinical services, at a named New York address.
1 more
- It serves both men and women with parallel programs, and says so in its own footer on every page — "Hone is an online clinic that helps men and women manage their health."
Cons
- The advertised price is never the price: "From $28/mo" for testosterone is $183 with the mandatory membership, and $248 in the first cycle with the entry test.
- The membership rate depends which document you read — $155 on the public table, $129 in the help center, and a third tier at $135 the table never shows.
- Six products lead with "From" and Hone publishes no dose-price table anywhere, saying only that "final costs may vary by dosage and modality".
- The membership bills monthly whether or not any medication ships — Hone says being charged "in a month when no medication ships" is "expected and normal".
- Hone's own help center prices testosterone "Starts at $28/vial" while the marketing site says "From $28/mo", and a vial is not a month.
- DHEA cream is $38 a month on its own product page and $56 on the menopause page it is listed from, both read the same day.
2 more
- Fourteen jurisdictions are served by none of its four programs, and several more are served only in part — California and Hawaii without injectables, Alabama with no men's program, Maine with no women's Premium.
- No insurance is accepted at all, so apart from HSA and FSA funds every figure here is out of pocket.

How we verified this
What we checked
- Every price read off honehealth.com — 20 products, checked one at a time
- The billing cycle taken from the company's own terms, not assumed from the price
- States, inclusions and cancellation terms read on the company's own pages
- Screened against the FDA's live warning-letter index
What to double-check before you buy
- Testosterone injections: Hone's own help center prices this product "Starts at $28/vial" rather than per month, and a vial is a dispensing unit; the site's "/mo" framing is what is carried here and the conflict is in the cons.
- Prices may change. Confirm before you buy.
Key terms
Show definitions
- Walk-away price
- What one cycle costs at the ongoing rate with no commitment — what you actually pay if you stop after month one.
- Year at this price
- The walk-away price multiplied by however many times a year it's actually billed. It's the year at this dose only — several sellers charge more as you move up, and most don't publish the ladder.
- Compounded
- Made to order by a pharmacy from raw ingredients, rather than dispensed as an FDA-approved, mass-manufactured product.
Bottom line
Add $155 to every price on the site, and $65 more in month one. That is the whole story — no prepay tier, no intro rate, no dose ladder surprises, just a membership that is mandatory and never described that way in the headline.
Visit Hone HealthFrequently asked questions
What does Hone Health actually cost?
Take the number on the product page and add $155. Testosterone injections at "from $28/mo" are $183 a month; the estradiol patch at $58 is $213; bi-est cream at $80 is $235. The $155 is the Premium membership, and every hormone product page on the site carries a "Premium Tier" badge, so it’s not optional for anyone buying a medication — Hone's own comparison table gives Premium "All Hone Treatments" and Basic only "Treatments labeled BASIC". Add the $65 entry biomarker test and a first cycle of testosterone comes to $248. Read off honehealth.com on August 9, 2026.
Is the membership really mandatory?
For a medication, yes. Hone sells two tiers — Basic at $25 a month and Premium at $155 — and the Basic tier reaches only the treatments Hone labels BASIC, while every hormone product page is badged Premium. What the membership buys is real: biomarker testing every three months, physician consultations and the full catalog. But it’s a care fee, and Hone's help center says so in as many words: "What Your Membership Fee Does NOT Cover — The cost of medications — these are billed separately at the time of shipment." That’s why every figure on this review is a sum of the two.
Does the membership get cheaper if I take more than one medication?
Effectively yes, and it’s the best thing about the pricing. The $155 is charged per patient, not per product, so a reader on an estradiol patch and progesterone together pays $58 + $49 + $155 = $262 rather than the $213 and $204 in the two rows added up. The rows are priced one product at a time because that’s how a board has to compare them, but the second and third product cost only what the drug costs. Anyone on a multi-product regimen should do that arithmetic themselves before comparing Hone with a seller that has no membership at all.
Why is the testosterone price the one you trust least?
Because Hone publishes it two different ways. The marketing page says "From $28/mo"; the help center says the same product "Starts at $28/vial". A vial is a quantity of medicine, not a length of time, and how long one lasts depends on the dose — which Hone also declines to publish, saying only that "Final costs may vary by dosage and modality". The row here carries the site's own per-month framing because that’s the surface a buyer meets, and this answer exists so the reader knows the seller has said something different elsewhere.
Why is DHEA cream missing from the prices above?
Because Hone publishes two prices for it and we won’t choose between them. Its product page says "$38/mo + membership"; the menopause page it’s listed from says "$56/mo + membership". Both were read on August 9, 2026. Filing $38 would flatter Hone by $18 a month and filing $56 would penalise it by the same, and a board that quietly picks one side of a seller's contradiction is doing the thing this site exists to catch. So it’s reported and not ranked.
Does Hone sell GLP-1s?
One: compounded liraglutide, at "From $160/mo + membership", which is $315 a month all-in. Semaglutide isn’t sold at all — there’s no product page and no price for it anywhere on the site, and the liraglutide page carries an orphaned "Learn More About Compounded Semaglutide" heading with nothing underneath, which is a broken heading rather than an offer. Tirzepatide is prescribed through Hone but bought from LillyDirect, so Hone charges nothing for the drug itself and no tirzepatide row appears here.
Does Hone serve my state?
Check the table rather than the map, because availability is per program rather than per company. Fourteen jurisdictions appear on none of Hone's four program lists — Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Washington, D.C. Several more are served only in part: California and Hawaii are Basic only and marked "no injectables", which rules out the cheapest testosterone route; Alabama has neither men's program; Idaho has only men's Plus; Maine has no women's Premium; and New York has no men's Plus. The checkout enforces it — its own code carries the message "Oops! We're unavailable in your state!"
Has the FDA written to Hone Health?
No, and the screen was run three ways because Hone trades under a name that’s not its legal entity. The live warning-letter index was queried on August 9, 2026 for "honehealth" (zero rows), "hone health" (41), "time therapeutics" (12) and "broad health" (78). Every result set came back in full rather than paged, and every row was re-checked against the company column: none of them is Hone Health, Time Therapeutics, Inc. or Broad Health P.A., which are the two entities named in Hone's own footer and Terms. Nothing was filed on a name resemblance.
