Visit Henry MedsThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Henry Meds on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 59 (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.
Henry Meds is still a genuine option — henry Meds publishes exactly one number — GLP-1 care from $179 a month, visits, medication and supplies included — and keeps everything else behind a free evaluation. That makes it easy to start and hard to budget: the price rises with plan and dose, the plan cards show no figures, and the list of states it serves is never printed. Tirzepatide comes only as a compounded daily tablet, which Eli Lilly named in a lawsuit against Henry's parent company in April 2025. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

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
Henry Meds
Editors' Rating 59/100 · Grade C
What we like
- One all-in monthly charge covering visits, medication, supplies and support
- The evaluation is free — you pay only if a provider prescribes

The caveats
- The only published price is a $179 floor; dose-by-dose prices appear only after the evaluation
- Multi-month plans can require paying out the balance if you stop early
- Prescription products and subscription fees are generally non-refundable
