The verdict

Kina takes it — 70.1/100 to 66.9/100.

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.

Kina

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
Knownwell

  • Official LillyDirect provider and Novo Wegovy-pill telehealth partner
  • Accepts insurance, copays as low as $25 for covered patients
  • Weight-inclusive care with dietitians and health coaches

Where it loses points

  • Specific self-pay monthly medication prices not transparently posted
  • In-person clinics limited to four metro areas
  • Branded-only focus can mean higher cost than compounded routes
