Head-to-head for women

Collective vs MadeMed

Collective and MadeMed 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.

Collective

Ranked #70 for women · Grade C

Best for: A woman who will stay on treatment for a full year and can do the arithmetic the headline leaves out: $59 a month plus $199 once is $907 in year one.

The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: MadeMed

MadeMed edges out Collective on the Luna Fit Score, 84 to 67 (B vs C). Women who expect to titrate and want to know today what month six costs, and who want an oral route available without switching provider. The reasoning behind that number is in what we found reviewing MadeMed.

Collective is still a genuine option — the lowest medication figures reviewed here by a distance — and neither of them is what a year actually costs, because a $199 annual membership is required to buy at all. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; the Collective scorecard goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the Collective alternatives, scored on the same six factors widens the field.

Collective

Ranked #70 · Grade C

What we like

  • Both medication figures are published before any intake, and they are the lowest here
  • The membership opens with a 21-day trial before the annual charge lands
  • Unlimited provider messaging, ongoing check-ins and dose adjustments, plus nutrition and lifestyle support, are inside the membership rather than sold on top

The caveats

  • The headline omits the mandatory $199 annual membership; it appears only in a card panel, a small disclaimer and the FAQ
  • Membership fees are non-refundable with no partial-period refund, so "cancel anytime" stops the next renewal and returns nothing
  • The Terms reserve an unpriced technology fee on every electronic prescription while the homepage promises no hidden costs

MadeMed

Ranked #7 · Grade B

What we like

  • One price at every dose, published dose by dose — semaglutide $239/mo from 0.25mg to 2.4mg, tirzepatide $399/mo from 2.5mg to 15mg
  • LegitScript verified, with board-certified physician review and US compounding pharmacies
  • Oral semaglutide and oral tirzepatide are both offered alongside the injections

The caveats

  • Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
  • 40 states rather than nationwide — check yours before you start
  • Tirzepatide is among the pricier entries in this ranking at $399/mo quarterly
