Head-to-head for women

Visit EdenThe verdict for women
Eden edges out Direct Meds on the Luna Fit Score, 91 to 82 (A− vs B−). Women who want a vetted, high-transparency provider with clinician involvement and labs over the lowest sticker price.
Direct Meds is still a genuine option — one of the few programs we track that offers an oral or sublingual route alongside injections — semaglutide drops from about $179 (or $297 injectable), tirzepatide from about $224 — all-inclusive with no separate membership. The trade-off is a newer, less-verified operator whose prices we couldn't confirm live. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.

Luna Fit
Direct Meds
Ranked #30 · Grade B−
What we like
- Rare oral and sublingual route in addition to injectable — a real option for the needle-averse
- Both molecules offered — semaglutide and tirzepatide for insulin-resistant PCOS
- All-inclusive pricing with no separate membership fee, and a promotional entry near $147
The caveats
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand semaglutide or tirzepatide
- Prices are company-stated, not ones we could verify live, and the brand runs multiple domains
- A newer operator with an ambiguous footprint, so the oversight signal is thinner
Luna Fit
Eden
Ranked #2 · Grade A−
What we like
- Strong clinical oversight and clear clinician/supply-chain disclosure
- Nationwide availability with both molecules
- High verification confidence — useful when you want labs and follow-up, not just a prescription
The caveats
- Premium pricing versus the cheapest tiers
- Compounded only — no brand-name access
- Not a hormone-specialty clinic; PCOS framing is general

Pricing, states and verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last review; the Luna Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the methodology.
