The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: Sesame Care

Sesame Care edges out Hims & Hers on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 83 (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.

Hims & Hers is still a genuine option — the Hers side is one of the few mass-market brands built around a women's identity — app-first, nationwide, though its hormonal depth is thin. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; what we found reviewing Hims & Hers goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, our ranked shortlist of Hims & Hers alternatives widens the field.

Hims & Hers

Ranked #40 · Grade B

What we like

  • Explicit women-focused (Hers) positioning and brand trust
  • Nationwide with a slick app experience
  • Simple, mass-market onboarding

The caveats

  • Tirzepatide pricing not consistently disclosed
  • Limited hormonal/PCOS depth behind the branding

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
