Head-to-head for moms
CoreAge Rx vs Science & Co
CoreAge Rx and Science & Co both offer GLP-1 telehealth to mothers, but they make different trade-offs on family-budget value, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Editors' Rating — our six-factor rubric for mothers.
CoreAge Rx
Higher scoreRanked #1 · Grade A
Best for: 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.

Ranked #30 · Grade C
Best for: A household already confident it will stay the course for a year, and that wants the discounted rate with the commitment spelled out rather than buried.
Visit Science & CoThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Science & Co on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 73 (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.
Science & Co is still a genuine option — one of the few programs that shows both prices at once and says which is which: $149 a month with no commitment, $79 on a twelve-month plan, with the saving printed alongside. 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
Science & Co
Ranked #30 · Grade C
What we like
- Publishes the month-to-month price and the long-plan price together, with the saving shown
- States in its own copy that the low figure is the twelve-month plan
- Flat pricing at every dose, no monthly membership and free shipping
The caveats
- The advertised figures are twelve-month plan rates, not monthly ones
- Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic each have a page and all three say coming soon
- The microdose, the gentlest way in, is also still coming soon
