Visit KovaThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Kova on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 48 (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.
Kova is still a genuine option — kova sets out the entire ladder in ordinary sentences — "1-month plan: $249 for your first month, then renews at $299/month thereafter. 3-month plan: $179/month, or $537 upfront" — and every multiplication in it is exact. That sounds like a low bar until you have read a few sites whose per-month figures turn out to be averages hiding a one-off discount. Kova's are the real thing, and it offers the term plans monthly as well as up front. The figure to plan around is the renewal: $299 for semaglutide, $399 for tirzepatide. 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
Kova
Editors' Rating 48/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Sets out the full ladder in plain sentences, renewal rate included — "$249 for your first month, then renews at $299/month thereafter"
- Its per-month figures are genuine per-month figures: every upfront total is exactly the monthly rate times the term
- The longer plans can be paid monthly or in one payment, so the discount does not require a lump sum
The caveats
- The low advertised prices need a term commitment — $129/mo for semaglutide means signing up for twelve months
- Month to month, the price rises after the first month: $249 to $299 for semaglutide, $299 to $399 for tirzepatide
- Lab work is not included — if your clinician orders blood work, you pay for it separately
