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 Idgie Health on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 77 (B vs C). 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.
Idgie Health is still a genuine option — publishes the amount billed today at every rung and states its 503A class — then describes a recurring Membership Fee only in the Terms. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; our full Idgie Health review goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the alternatives to Idgie Health we rank for women widens the field.

Luna Fit
Idgie Health
Ranked #58 · Grade C
What we like
- Every rung carries the figure billed today — $387 at three months, $687 at six on semaglutide — not just a per-month number
- States the pharmacy class plainly: prescriptions ship from a licensed U.S. 503A pharmacy
- Names its operating entity, Feel Better Health Group, LLC, in the page footer rather than only in the Terms
The caveats
- Both headlines are the six-month prepay: "From $114" against $149, and "From $171" against $229
- The Terms describe a recurring Membership Fee — and exclude the online visit and any labs from it — while the pricing page never uses the word and promises no hidden fees
- The same Terms name two different pharmacy networks without dividing the work between them
Luna Fit
Sesame Care
Ranked #5 · 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
