2 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than Alloy's $169 a month. 3 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $199 a month.

Alloy is a telehealth platform built around women's midlife health (menopause hormone therapy, skincare, sexual health) that also runs a dedicated Weight Care line offering both FDA-approved brand GLP-1s (Zepbound, Wegovy) and compounded alternatives (semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide).

Best for: Women who want menopause care and GLP-1 weight management under the same physician and don't mind a recurring care fee.

What Alloy does well

  • Brand and compounded medication options are listed with published starting prices
  • The $99 care fee includes physician messaging, dose adjustments and delivery
  • Menopause-trained physicians can coordinate weight care with hormone therapy
  • Wegovy pen starts at $199 and Wegovy pill at $149 before the care fee

Why readers look for an alternative

  • Medication starting prices exclude the $99 monthly care fee; the ongoing combined floor is $169 for compounded semaglutide and $199 for compounded tirzepatide
  • The first-month care discount applies once; month two returns to the full $99 fee
  • Weight care excludes Louisiana and Mississippi; compounded options also exclude Alabama, Arkansas, California, Nevada and DC
  • Starting drug prices can rise with the prescribed dose; request the maintenance price
  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
