Head-to-head, mom to mom
Alloy vs Eden
Alloy and Eden both offer GLP-1 telehealth, but they make different trade-offs on signup ease, honest pricing, which meds you can get, state coverage and support. Here they are side-by-side on the Mom-Tested Score — our real-mom rubric.

Visit EdenThe verdict
Eden edges out Alloy on the Mom-Tested Score, 89 to 85 (A− vs B). Moms who'd rather answer a longer intake and get more oversight and follow-up than chase the cheapest sticker.
Alloy is still a genuine option — the broadest GLP-1 menu I've found anywhere — brand Zepbound and Wegovy, two GLP-1 pills, and three compounded molecules — from doctors who actually specialise in midlife hormones, with one mandatory $99 fee sitting quietly on top of every price it advertises. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

Alloy
Ranked #4 · Grade B
What we like
- The widest formulary on this site: brand Zepbound and its KwikPen, brand Wegovy pen and pill, the oral Foundayo, and compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide
- No video visit — an async intake, with a plan promised in under 12 hours
- Unlimited messaging with the same menopause-trained physician, included in the fee rather than billed per visit
The caveats
- A mandatory $99/mo fee sits on top of every advertised price, so the real floor is $169, not the $70 on the page
- Every price is a "starting at" figure with no dose table — Wegovy is shown as $199 against a struck-through $499 with nothing explaining the gap
- For brand medication you're billed by two companies: Alloy for the fee, NovoCare or LillyDirect for the drug
Eden
Ranked #2 · Grade A−
What we like
- Clear clinician involvement and follow-up — it doesn't feel like a vending machine
- Both molecules, nationwide, with pricing shown before you hand over payment
- The messaging support actually replied when I poked it during the walkthrough
The caveats
- Priced above the budget compounders
- Compounded only — no brand-name lane
- The longer intake is more than a nap if you're doing it carefully
