Winona vs Hers Menopause

The short answer
Winona takes it: 8.4 vs 7.4, transparency grade B against D, from $54/mo (~$1,161 realistic first year). The edge: $0 consult + product-only pricing + largest HRT-specific review base. Hers Menopause still makes sense for women already in the Hers ecosystem who will commit to a 12-month plan and don't need named specialists or labs.

Winona first-year math: Winona bills every 28 days, not monthly, so a year holds 13.04 charges rather than 12. Estrogen Body Cream with Progesterone at $89 per cycle x 13.04 = $1,160.56, all-inclusive (consults, follow-ups, shipping included). Cheapest-entry route: estrogen tablets at $54 x 13.04 = $704.16. Every other provider on this roster is measured at 12 charges a year, so counting Winona the same way understated its year by one full charge, which is where the $1,068 this record carried until 2026-08-16 came from [Verified August 2026].
Hers Menopause first-year math: Oral estradiol at $79/mo on the required 12-month plan = $948, medication included. Patch route: $134/mo × 12 = $1,608. Shorter plans cost more; exact prices gated behind intake.
