The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: Ro

Ro edges out MadeMed on the Luna Fit Score, 86 to 84 (B vs B). Women who want brand-name medication and insurance support, and are comfortable with a big, polished platform. The reasoning behind that number is in our full Ro review.

MadeMed is still a genuine option — a LegitScript-verified compounded program that charges one flat price at every dose — so titrating up to a working dose never quietly raises the bill. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; what we found reviewing MadeMed goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, what women pick instead of MadeMed 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

Ro

Ranked #28 · Grade B

What we like

  • Brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) access and insurance navigation
  • Oral options and a well-funded, polished experience
  • Strong clinical infrastructure

The caveats

  • Does not publicly disclose compounded pricing up front
  • Premium positioning

Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. Pricing, states and verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last review; the Luna Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
