Visit PrescribedRxThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out PrescribedRx 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.
PrescribedRx is still a genuine option — each GLP-1 comes as one three-month plan and nothing shorter: semaglutide is $420 a quarter, about $140 a month, and tirzepatide $597, about $199. The price stays the same at every dose, needles and shipping are included, and you get the full amount back if a provider decides treatment isn't right for you. What you can't do is buy a single month to try it. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

What CoreAge Rx and PrescribedRx cost
On semaglutide, CoreAge Rx charges $99 a month at every dose. PrescribedRx doesn't sell semaglutide month to month: its lowest figure, $140 a month, comes with a longer commitment (three-month plan, $420 — no month-to-month option), so the two prices are not like for like.
On tirzepatide, CoreAge Rx charges $149 a month at every dose. PrescribedRx doesn't sell tirzepatide month to month: its lowest figure, $199 a month, comes with a longer commitment (three-month plan, $597 — no month-to-month option), so the two prices are not like for like.

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
PrescribedRx
Editors' Rating 56/100 · Grade C
What we like
- About $140 a month for semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide, among the lowest figures on our list
- The same price at every dose, with needles, syringes, alcohol swabs and shipping included
- A full refund if a provider decides treatment isn't appropriate for you
The caveats
- Neither GLP-1 can be bought month to month — each plan is billed every three months
- Both need a lump sum up front — $420 or $597 — and renew at the same price unless you cancel before the renewal date
- There is no way to try a single month and stop
