Visit Obu HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Obu Health on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 50 (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.
Obu Health is still a genuine option — starting From $190/mo semaglutide and $239/mo tirzepatide, with two named compounding pharmacies and a genuine self-serve cancellation policy — though the site publishes no state list and says nothing about pregnancy or breastfeeding. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · 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
Obu Health
Ranked #104 · Grade C
What we like
- Names two real compounding pharmacies with full addresses, and permits redirecting to a family's own local pharmacy
- A published, self-serve 'cancel at any time' policy
- Doctor review in about 24 hours per its own FAQ, with video or phone required only in certain states
The caveats
- No published state list — confirm coverage directly before enrolling
- Nothing on the site is written with pregnancy, breastfeeding, or family scheduling in mind
- "Starting From" pricing means a specific dose may run higher than the headline figure
