Head-to-head for women
Alloy vs Strut Health
Alloy and Strut Health both offer GLP-1 telehealth to women, but they make different trade-offs on PCOS and hormonal suitability, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Luna Fit Score — our women's-health rubric.
Alloy
Ranked #41 for women · Grade B−
Luna Fit
Best for: Women in perimenopause or menopause who want the clinician managing their weight to be the same one who understands their hormones — and who can absorb a membership fee on top of the drug price.

Higher scoreRanked #6 for women · Grade B
Luna Fit
Best for: Women who want a needle-free option, or who want to see every route and price side by side before committing to one.
Visit Strut HealthThe verdict for women
Strut Health edges out Alloy on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 82 (B vs B−). Women who want a needle-free option, or who want to see every route and price side by side before committing to one. The reasoning behind that number is in our full Strut Health review.
Alloy is still a genuine option — the only program on this board built for midlife first: your prescriber is a Menopause Society–certified physician, and weight care sits alongside a full hormone-therapy line rather than being sold in isolation. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; what we found reviewing Alloy goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the Alloy alternatives, scored on the same six factors widens the field.
Side-by-side on the six factors

Luna Fit
Alloy
Ranked #41 · Grade B−
What we like
- Prescribers hold the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner credential — the only board entry where that is true of named clinicians
- The widest formulary here: compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide, plus brand Wegovy, Zepbound and the Wegovy and Foundayo pills
- Oral routes are FDA-approved brand pills, not a compounded workaround, for women who will not inject
The caveats
- The $99/mo membership is charged on top of every medication price, so the headline figure is not what you pay
- Every price is quoted 'starting at' with no published dose table — the rate can move as you titrate
- Compounded medication is unavailable in six states and DC, and the overall coverage footprint is not published anywhere on the site
Luna Fit
Strut Health
Ranked #6 · Grade B
What we like
- Sublingual lozenges for both molecules — a real option if injections are the thing stopping you, and rare on this board
- Every route prices publicly: semaglutide from $99 sublingual or $149 injectable, tirzepatide from $199 either way
- Cancel, pause or delay a subscription yourself, with 48 hours' notice before processing
The caveats
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- No brand-name path at all
- Asynchronous by design — their FAQ notes some states do not require a phone consultation, so you may never speak to the prescriber
