Alloy vs Kina
The verdict
Alloy takes it — 72.2/100 to 70.1/100.
Alloy grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Alloy is a menopause-focused telehealth brand whose Weight Care program runs the broadest GLP-1 formulary in our catalog — brand Wegovy, brand Zepbound, oral Wegovy, plus compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide…

Graded #80 · C
Strengths
- Broadest GLP-1 formulary here: brand Wegovy and Zepbound, oral Wegovy, plus compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide
- All consulting doctors are certified by The Menopause Society — a rare credential
- STARTGLP1 promo code takes $50 off the first month
- Spans the price range: compounded semaglutide from $70/mo, brand Wegovy from $199/mo (each plus the $99/mo Weight Care fee)
Where it loses points
- Menopause-focused — best for women in menopause or perimenopause, not men or younger patients
- A mandatory $99/mo Alloy Weight Care fee sits on top of every medication price (so the true minimum is ~$169/mo, not $70)
- Compounded semaglutide not available in AL, AR, CA, NV, LA, MS or DC
Graded #107 · C
Strengths
- Menopause-specialized care — GLP-1 weight treatment alongside HRT, peptide, and compounded options for menopause symptoms
- Prescribed and monitored by named board-certified physicians at Arora Health & Aesthetics, with dose adjustments included
- Verifiable LegitScript certification (seal ID 50917967)
- GLP-1 from $179/month with $0 membership fees, FSA/HSA eligibility, free shipping, and cancel-anytime
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, 100% online with a roughly 2-minute intake
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Built for women navigating menopause — less tailored if that is not your situation
- A separate $50 physician consultation fee applies on top of the medication price
- The compounding pharmacy partner is not named, and the full list of served states is not published
