Joi + Blokes vs Kina
The verdict
Kina takes it — 69.8/100 to 66.1/100.
Kina grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Kina is a menopause-care telehealth platform where GLP-1 is the weight-loss treatment, offered alongside HRT, peptide, and compounded options for menopause symptoms.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Graded #203 · C
Strengths
- Separate programs for women (Joi) and men (Blokes) — most GLP-1 telehealth is gender-agnostic
- Trustpilot 4.6/5 from 1,254+ reviews — among the strongest review signals in the category
- Monthly price includes medication, dosing support, clinician consults, and health coaching
- Integrated hormone + GLP-1 programs help patients on testosterone or perimenopausal protocols
- First-month discount ($99 sema / $149 tirz) lowers the barrier to trying GLP-1s
Where it loses points
- Billed quarterly — a 3-month commitment up front, not month-to-month
- Different pricing in NY and NJ — verify your state's cost before committing
- Per-state availability isn't listed; it's zip-code gated behind signup
- Months 2+ cost more ($199 sema / $299 tirz) than the headline intro price
- No FDA-approved Wegovy — compounded only on the GLP-1 side; Zepbound carries a separate visit fee
Graded #118 · 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
