Head-to-head for women

Gala Health vs Pallas Health

Gala Health and Pallas 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.

Gala Health

Higher score

Ranked #13 for women · Grade B

Best for: Women who want compounded tirzepatide and hormone care from one provider, are comfortable committing to a year to get the advertised rate, and value having a brand-Ozempic escape hatch.

Pallas Health

Ranked #16 for women · Grade B−

Best for: Readers who want a general compounded GLP-1 program with unusually specific disclosure about who prescribes and who dispenses, and who can absorb a $597 charge four weeks after the $139 one — not readers looking for PCOS or perimenopause care, which Pallas does not offer.

The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: Gala Health

Gala Health edges out Pallas Health on the Luna Fit Score, 83 to 82 (B vs B−). Women who want compounded tirzepatide and hormone care from one provider, are comfortable committing to a year to get the advertised rate, and value having a brand-Ozempic escape hatch. The reasoning behind that number is in the Gala Health scorecard.

Pallas Health is still a genuine option — names its six dispensing pharmacies and two NPI-verified physicians — disclosure few rows here offer — and then sells the whole thing on a single 12-week prepay whose advertised “$199/mo average” is that prepay divided by three, with no monthly rung to pick instead. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; the Pallas Health scorecard goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the full field we rank against Pallas Health widens the field.

Gala Health

Ranked #13 · Grade B

What we like

  • Built around women's care specifically, with an adjacent HRT and menopause line under the same roof
  • All doses included at one price, so titrating up never raises the bill
  • Available across all 50 states — a rare full-nationwide footprint

The caveats

  • The $179 rate requires a yearly subscription — no month-to-month price is published anywhere, and the cheapest term the site quotes in prose is $199/mo on a 3-month plan
  • The $149 microdose tier is a sub-therapeutic longevity protocol, not a cheaper weight-loss dose
  • Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic or Zepbound are

Pallas Health

Ranked #16 · Grade B−

What we like

  • Names all six dispensing pharmacies in public — Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx, The Pharmacy Hub and Foothills — with the 503A and 503B distinction explained, where almost everything else in this category names none
  • Names two prescribing physicians with their NPI numbers and links out to the NPPES registry so you can check them yourself: Dr. Ana Lisa Carr, MD (family medicine, NPI-verified, licensed in 15 states) and Dr. Kelly Tenbrink, MD (emergency medicine, NPI-verified, Tennessee and Florida). Pallas additionally claims obesity and addiction medicine board certifications for Dr. Carr, which NPPES does not carry either way
  • The advertised price is the checkout price — the homepage FAQ, the landing pages, the treatment pages and the live funnel all state the same four figures, and no different number appears at payment

The caveats

  • There is no month-to-month rung. The funnel renders no cadence selector at all: semaglutide is $139 for the first four weeks and then $597 billed every 12 weeks, so the second charge is $597 in one payment four weeks after the first — tirzepatide, $179 then $897 — and the advertised “$199/mo average” is that 12-week prepay divided by three rather than a price anyone is billed
  • Twelve weeks is not three months. On Pallas's own published renewal terms the charge recurs every 84 days — 4.35 times a year, not four — so semaglutide's first year is $139 + 4×$597 = $2,527, or $210.58/mo, and the steady state is $2,596 a year, about $216/mo, against $199 advertised. Tirzepatide runs $3,767 in year one ($313.92/mo) and about $3,900 a year after (~$325/mo) against $299. The advertised average understates the ongoing rate by roughly 8.7%
  • No women's-health program of any kind. Pallas's own women's-health category exists only as “coming soon”; there is no PCOS track, no perimenopause track and no cycle-aware protocol, and neither named physician is an OB-GYN or a women's-health specialist. What is on offer here is a general compounded GLP-1 program, and it should be read as one
