Higher scoreRanked #4 for women · Grade B
Luna Fit
Best for: Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program.
Visit Sesame CareThe verdict for women
Sesame Care edges out Cora Health on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 84 (B vs B). Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program. The reasoning behind that number is in the Sesame Care scorecard.
Cora Health is still a genuine option — unusually specific about who fills the prescription: two PCAB-accredited compounding pharmacies named outright, a LegitScript ID you can look up, and a flat price at every dose with no membership fee bolted on. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; the Cora Health scorecard goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, our ranked shortlist of Cora Health alternatives widens the field.

Luna Fit
Cora Health
Ranked #38 · Grade B
What we like
- Names both compounding pharmacies — Hallandale and VialsRx, each PCAB-accredited — which most of this board will not do
- LegitScript certification with a published ID rather than an unverifiable badge
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
The caveats
- The advertised $99 is an annual prepay billed as $1,188 once — the no-commitment rate is $175
- No published lab or monitoring programme
- Compounded only: no FDA-approved brand path
Luna Fit
Sesame Care
Ranked #4 · Grade B
What we like
- Real FDA-approved brand-name access — Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Rybelsus
- Established platform (operating since 2018) with LegitScript, BBB accreditation and large third-party review volume
- You choose the provider and see the price up front — genuine marketplace transparency
The caveats
- A generalist marketplace, not a dedicated weight-loss program — lighter ongoing hand-holding than a specialist desk
- Two-part cost (a platform subscription plus the medication) makes the true monthly total harder to compare
- Brand-name cash prices can run high without insurance
