Visit Ivy RxThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Ivy Rx on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 55 (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.
Ivy Rx is still a genuine option — a Miami-based telehealth shop selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at one flat price for every dose, with same-day review, no lab work and free shipping. The catch is the price itself. Its product page says "from $77" for four doses a month, its own cost article says plans start at $175 a month, and plans run anywhere from four weeks to a year. One thing we like: before each monthly billing you check in with your provider, and if you skip it, the renewal is canceled instead of charging your card. Refund requests are accepted for 15 days after an order. It does not take insurance. 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
Ivy Rx
Editors' Rating 55/100 · Grade C
What we like
- The same price at every dose
- Each month's billing waits for a check-in, so there are no surprise refills
- Same-day review and free, temperature-controlled shipping
The caveats
- Its own pages disagree on the starting price: from $77 on the product page, from $175 a month in its cost guide
- Plans run from four weeks to twelve months, and the price per plan is shown only inside the intake
- No lab work before starting
