The two models, side by side
| Parée | Alloy | |
|---|---|---|
| Care model | You start with a written intake. A licensed US clinician reads it. You do not need an appointment to begin. | Online assessment reviewed by menopause-trained clinicians, with ongoing messaging; no scheduled video visit |
| Price | Cash-pay membership with visible pricing on /pricing. You see the cost before you pay. No insurance claim to chase. | A one-time $49 consultation fee, then medications from roughly $23–$75/month (e.g. the estradiol pill from about $40, the patch about $75), typically billed every 3 months as a 90-day supply |
| Clinician review | A licensed US clinician reads every intake before any treatment decision. | A licensed, menopause-trained clinician reviews your assessment and prescribes; unlimited messaging is included |
| Delivery | When a clinician prescribes, licensed pharmacies ship to your door in plain packaging. You follow up in a secure portal. | Products and prescriptions shipped free on a quarterly (3-month) subscription |
| Insurance | Not billed to insurance. Parée is a flat cash-pay service | Does not bill insurance; HSA/FSA payments are accepted |
| Focus | Perimenopause and menopause care, end to end | Menopause treatments plus a wider wellness catalog (skin, hair, sexual wellness) |
What Alloy does well

- Ongoing unlimited messaging access to prescribing clinicians
- Established menopause-specialist brand with free shipping

- A focused care service rather than a product catalog
- Structured written intake reviewed by a licensed US clinician, built for thoroughness
The bottom line
Deciding between Parée and Alloy tends to come down to breadth versus focus. Alloy pairs menopause prescriptions with a wider wellness catalog and unlimited clinician messaging, with a one-time $49 consult fee and medications billed quarterly as a 90-day supply, a good fit if you want an ongoing relationship and a range of products in one place.
Parée is a single, focused perimenopause and menopause path: a structured written intake, a licensed US clinician’s review, and education before any purchase, with treatment shipped when prescribed. Neither service bills insurance, so choose Alloy for its catalog and messaging, or Parée if you’d rather have one clear care decision without a menu to navigate.
