Head-to-head for women

Strut Health edges out Edessa on the Luna Fit Score, 83 to 69 (B vs C). 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.
Edessa is still a genuine option — clean three-rung tables one click in, behind a front page whose three cards all quote six-month rungs and whose cheapest belongs to a different drug. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; what we found reviewing Edessa goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, what women pick instead of Edessa widens the field.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same women's-health rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.

Luna Fit
Edessa
Ranked #74 · Grade C
What we like
- Each product page carries a plain three-rung table, so the commitment behind every figure is visible
- "Same price, every dose" is printed on each product page
- Names its operating entity and a full street address in Las Vegas, Nevada
The caveats
- The front page leads with "Start for just $135", a six-month prepay on the semaglutide injection; month-to-month tirzepatide is $239
- All three front-page cards quote the six-month rung, so the real monthly rates appear only after a click
- Its Terms give two corporate forms for the same company in one clause — "Edessa Group, LLC, a Nevada corporation"
Luna Fit
Strut Health
Ranked #11 · Grade B
What we like
- Sublingual lozenges for both molecules — a real option if injections are the thing stopping you, and rare in this ranking
- 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
