The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: MadeMed

MadeMed edges out Oak on the Luna Fit Score, 84 to 72 (B vs C). Women who expect to titrate and want to know today what month six costs, and who want an oral route available without switching provider. The reasoning behind that number is in what we found reviewing MadeMed.

Oak is still a genuine option — a compounded program sold as one-off packages rather than a subscription, in Spanish as well as English, charging $200/mo for semaglutide and $250 for tirzepatide at one flat rate per dose — but its own pages give nine different starting figures, none carrying a term and none of them the price it actually charges, plus two different answers on how many states it serves. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; our full Oak review goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the Oak alternatives, scored on the same six factors widens the field.

MadeMed

Ranked #6 · Grade B

What we like

  • One price at every dose, published dose by dose — semaglutide $239/mo from 0.25mg to 2.4mg, tirzepatide $399/mo from 2.5mg to 15mg
  • LegitScript verified, with board-certified physician review and US compounding pharmacies
  • Oral semaglutide and oral tirzepatide are both offered alongside the injections

The caveats

  • Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
  • 40 states rather than nationwide — check yours before you start
  • Tirzepatide is among the pricier entries in this ranking at $399/mo quarterly

Oak

Ranked #50 · Grade C

What we like

  • No membership or subscription fee and no plan to manage — Oak sells one-month and three-month packages, with shipping included
  • Oak's own checkout currently accepts every state and Washington D.C., and the site and the intake are offered in Spanish as well as English
  • There is no recurring charge to stop, so there is nothing to cancel and no auto-renewal to catch you out

The caveats

  • Oak does not publish a price you can act on. Across its own pages it gives nine different "starting" figures — $119, $133, $160, $167, $180, $185, $190, $199 and $250 — and attaches a term or a billing cadence to none of them
  • The two cheapest of those figures are not monthly rates. "Semaglutide from $119 / Tirzepatide from $185" appears only beside a "$200 off — new patient offer", and Oak's own affiliate page defines that offer as "$50 off your first month, $200 off 3-months" — a three-month package discount printed as if it were a per-month price
  • The undiscounted floors Oak itself publishes are $190/mo on its weight-loss page and $167/mo in the comparison table on its homepage, and those two do not agree with each other either
