Visit HeallyThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Heally on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 41 (A vs C). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
Heally is still a genuine option — heally has moved to FDA-approved brands: its semaglutide program starts at $149 a month with the once-daily Wegovy pill, and its tirzepatide program at $299 a month with Zepbound, each with a free doctor consultation and no membership or contract. Both are "starting at" prices, and the final cost depends on the form and dose your doctor prescribes — one of its own pages even lists tirzepatide from $250, so confirm the figure for your dose before you pay. Heally is a broader telehealth marketplace rather than a dedicated GLP-1 seller: its catalog also carries DUTCH hormone testing, gut-biome panels and other lab work alongside the weight-loss line. It names its operating entity, Heally, Inc., in its own Terms, and has no FDA warning letter on file. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

What CoreAge Rx and Heally cost
On semaglutide, CoreAge Rx charges $99 a month at every dose. Heally sells semaglutide only as a brand-name product, from $149 a month, so it is not a like-for-like price with CoreAge Rx's compounded semaglutide.
On tirzepatide, CoreAge Rx charges $149 a month at every dose. Heally sells tirzepatide only as a brand-name product, from $299 a month, so it is not a like-for-like price with CoreAge Rx's compounded tirzepatide.
Only Heally offers brand-name medication (from $149 a month cash); CoreAge Rx sticks to compounded versions.

CoreAge Rx
Editors' Rating 94/100 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic
Heally
Editors' Rating 41/100 · Grade C
What we like
- FDA-approved brands only — the Wegovy pill or pen and Zepbound — rather than compounded versions
- Free doctor consultation and no monthly membership or contract

The caveats
- Both prices are starting-dose figures; what higher doses cost is not shown on its pages
- Its own pages disagree on tirzepatide — $299 on one page, $250 on another
- No compounded option for a lower price
