Visit PreventiveMDThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out PreventiveMD on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 52 (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.
PreventiveMD is still a genuine option — here is a rare case where the site's own code settles the argument. Every protocol page advertises semaglutide "as low as $83/mo, all-in". The function that produces that number takes each pricing tier, divides its total by the number of months it covers, and prints whichever result is smallest — and the price catalog returns $999 for the twelve-month supply. Pay monthly and it is $119. Which, to be fair to them, is still cheaper than most of our list. 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
PreventiveMD
Editors' Rating 52/100 · Grade C
What we like
- $119 a month, paid monthly, undercuts most of our list outright
- Every tier is published in a machine-readable catalog, so nothing has to be taken on trust
- Names its participating medical group in the Terms
The caveats
- "As low as $83/mo, all-in" is a $999 annual prepay divided by twelve — the monthly price is $119
- The same derived figure is published in the page's structured data as a monthly price, which is what search engines read
- The pricing table can be slow to load and may show "Loading pricing…" before the numbers appear
