Willow

Shoppers who want an oral-tablet GLP-1 at the same price as the injectable, with no annual commitment.

Reasons to consider it

Oral tablet formulations of both semaglutide and tirzepatide, priced the same as the injections, $299 and $399 a month
Month-to-month billing with no prepay or annual term required to get the advertised rate
Named physician team publicly listed, including Chief Medical Officer Dr. Michael Green, MD, plus 11+ other credentialed MDs/DOs

What to weigh up

Only 35 states and Puerto Rico are served, so residents of the other 15 states and DC can't sign up
Site states medication cost 'varies by dosage and prescription' but never discloses what a higher maintenance dose actually costs beyond the $299/$399 starting figures
Compounding pharmacy name and state are not disclosed anywhere on the site

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

Kina

Women in perimenopause or menopause who want GLP-1 weight care bundled with HRT and menopause care under one named clinical lead.

Reasons to consider it

Names an actual clinical lead (Dr. Shannon Arora, PharmD) tied to a real affiliated practice with an address
LegitScript badge with a working verification link
Consultation/physician-review fee is bundled into the price rather than charged separately

What to weigh up

The $169 'starting at' price is the first month only; ongoing prices run $199 to $279 a month depending on the form
Not a dedicated GLP-1 company -- weight/GLP-1 is one of six categories on a menopause-focused platform
No named compounding pharmacy partner
