Visit LiveaThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Livea on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 56 (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.
Livea is still a genuine option — livea is one of the few names here with a history predating the GLP-1 boom — it operates as Livea Medical, PLLC under Minnesota Weight Control, Inc., a weight-management business rather than a telehealth startup. Compounded semaglutide starts at $99 a month, tirzepatide at $199 "when available", a qualification most sellers leave out. Its FAQ also does something unusual: it puts its own price next to the alternative, "compared to $1,000+ per month for brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy". 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
Livea
Editors' Rating 56/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Operates as a named medical entity under an established weight-control company rather than a bare LLC
- $99 a month for compounded semaglutide is well below our list's median
- Says "when available" about tirzepatide instead of implying continuous supply
The caveats
- Both prices are "starting at", so dose may move them
- Tirzepatide availability is explicitly conditional, so the $199 may not be obtainable when you need it
- No list of states served
