Ratings and customer feedback

For the small fraction (about 4%) who left one-star reviews citing issues, the company responded and worked to resolve those complaints.

What our reviewer experienced

Healthline senior SEO associate Sydney Hanan tried Wisp and says she would recommend it.

“Wisp was a very convenient way to get my birth control prescription refilled and sent to me. Usually, I’d visit an OB-GYN or NP for a prescription and then pick it up at a pharmacy each month,” Hanan explains.

She appreciated the time savings and being able to arrange delivery from home.

Although Wisp carries 15 different birth control pills, Hanan notes that the company “doesn’t appear to offer other birth control formats for people who prefer alternatives, like the shot.”

Overall, she thought Wisp suited anyone wanting an easy option to get birth control prescribed and delivered.

“It probably helped that I’ve been on birth control for years and already know what works for me,” she adds.

HealthEH’s take

You can obtain Plan B (levonorgestrel) and Ella (ulipristal) through Wisp.

Both are emergency contraception options. Plan B is most effective when taken within 3 days after unprotected sex, while Ella can work up to 5 days later. Research shows both have similar mild side effects. Wisp can ship Plan B to customers across all 50 states without a prescription.

Ella requires a prescription; Wisp can issue one online, but they can’t ship Ella directly. Instead, you must have a pharmacy fill the prescription. Note that research indicates many pharmacies don’t routinely stock Ella, so finding it may take longer.

Sexual health products

Wisp sells silicone-based lubricants as one-off purchases or via subscription. Silicone lube is safe with latex condoms but shouldn’t be used with silicone sex toys.

Services and consultations

Wispcare lets you book a single consultation or subscribe for unlimited online visits. Consultations cover topics such as:

STIs

Wisp helps with diagnosing and explaining STIs affecting wellbeing. The platform supports unlimited sexual and reproductive health consultations and access to primary care providers.

Commonly covered treatments include:

• trichomoniasis
• chlamydia
• gonorrhea

Overall sexual wellness

Wisp also addresses issues that affect sexual function or desire, including management and guidance for problems like:

• pain or dryness during vaginal sex
• low libido
• low arousal

Wisp’s care isn’t limited to sexual and reproductive topics. The telehealth provider can also refill ongoing prescriptions for common conditions like:

How Hello Wisp works

Hanan says Wisp is a solid choice for anyone who wants an easy way to have birth control prescribed and delivered.

The platform lets you choose how to receive medications and gives clear timing options for delivery, which can be adjusted to your needs.

You can access Wisp via:

• a mobile phone
• a laptop
• another internet-enabled device with a camera

Hanan found the signup straightforward.

“I filled out my details online, created an account, answered onboarding questions, verified my identity with a photo of myself and my driver’s license, and completed a medical history form,” she says.

The onboarding and questionnaire took about 14 minutes, and she notes you’ll need to provide a blood pressure measurement.

Reviewers generally agree: the Wisp process works simply and effectively.

Wisp also provides access to pharmacists and medical staff around the clock so you can ask questions about your prescriptions or health concerns.

“My online account provided order updates and showed other products and services Wisp offers,” Hanan says. “I also received text updates.”

Next, a physician reviews the order.

“The portal said review could take 3–5 hours, but my order was approved in 7 minutes,” Hanan notes.

Wisp then processes the order. Hanan elected to have the order shipped.

“Shipping was discreet — the box only displayed subtle colors and Wisp’s plain triangle logo,” she says. “Even the return address used the sender name ‘Kate Wisplet.’”

Shipping took 2 business days (4 days including the weekend) from order to delivery.

Pricing overview

Wisp’s costs vary by the treatment you choose. Many medications can be bought as single purchases or as monthly subscriptions for products like birth control or telehealth visits.

One-time prices from Wisp are often higher than typical pharmacy costs, but subscription plans may be similar to local pharmacy prices, especially if you use prescription discount tools.

The price estimates below were accurate at the time of publication.

Vaginal infections

Wisp offers medications for vaginal conditions, such as:

• Metronidazole: an antibiotic for BV and pelvic infections. Subscription: $30/month; one-time dose: $108.
• Fluconazole: treats fungal and yeast infections. A 150 mg option is $15/month with subscription, or $65 for a single purchase.

Urinary tract infections

Wisp provides treatments for UTIs, including:

• Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (Bactrim): $65 for a course.
• Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid): $65 for a course.

These antibiotics are commonly prescribed for uncomplicated UTIs in otherwise healthy, nonpregnant people with vaginas.

Birth control pills

Because birth control pills are typically taken continuously, Wisp offers monthly subscription plans ranging from $5 to $19 per month, depending on how much you prepay, quantity, and delivery method.

For example, Yaz is priced as:

• $25 for a 1‑month supply sent to a local pharmacy
• $5/month for a 3‑month supply sent to a local pharmacy
• $19/month to have Wisp deliver it to your door

Herpes treatments

If you notice painful blisters on the mouth or genitals, Wisp provides several herpes treatment options at different price points, including:

• Acyclovir: $69 for a one-time course or $10/month for repeat deliveries.
• Valacyclovir: A 10-day supply is $57 one-time or $45 quarterly delivery; a 90-day supply is $65 one-time or $60 paid quarterly.

Both medicines are used during outbreaks and share similar side effects, though valacyclovir is often more commonly prescribed.

Insurance and payment

Wisp doesn’t accept insurance. However, Wispcare lab tests ordered by doctors may be billed to insurance in some cases.

You can typically use an HSA or FSA to pay for Wisp services if you have those employer benefits.

Getting started

Signing up with Wisp is straightforward. You can begin with their symptoms quiz, which guides you to the appropriate Wisp service.

If you want treatment for a particular issue, you’ll be directed to request a specific medication or let the clinician decide. Then choose whether you want a one-time service or the Wispcare subscription for unlimited consultations.

After checkout, you’ll complete a medical questionnaire for a clinician to review. Wisp estimates a response within 2–4 hours on weekdays and within 24 hours on weekends and holidays.

When your prescription is approved, you can opt for free delivery or same-day pickup at a local pharmacy.

How Hello Wisp compares to competitors

Everlywell

Everlywell  provides at-home testing for issues like perimenopause, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. They can help identify possible causes of symptoms but don’t provide treatments like Wisp does.

LetsGetChecked

LetsGetChecked  also offers at-home test kits for STIs and general wellness. Like Everlywell, they provide testing but do not supply medications directly.

Uqora

Uqora  focuses mainly on urinary health and offers vaginal probiotics. They’re a good option if you want OTC UTI support.

Nurx

Nurx offers services such as birth control, acne treatment, STI testing, and treatments for genital herpes, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. While both Wisp and Nurx provide birth control and STI care, Wisp also leans more into general healthcare management.

Hers

Hers  focuses on hair care, acne, and skin treatments. Wisp’s emphasis is sexual and reproductive health plus general healthcare; it does not offer acne, skin, or hair care.

Lemonaid

Wisp and Lemonaid  are similar in offering help with STI testing and conditions like menopause and irregular periods, as well as general telehealth services. Wisp’s direct prescription fulfillment distinguishes it from Lemonaid.

When to see a doctor in person

Although Wisp is a convenient alternative to in-person visits, some situations still require a face-to-face appointment — especially when testing or examinations are necessary, such as:

• a physical exam
• blood tests
• imaging studies

It’s important to get a definitive diagnosis rather than assuming a UTI, yeast infection, or another condition.

Wisp clinicians can refill existing prescriptions, but they can’t provide online diagnoses for chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or high blood pressure. You should see a healthcare provider in person for conditions needing more extensive care or if symptoms persist after treatment.
