Visit ShapeIn RxThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out ShapeIn Rx on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 40 (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.
ShapeIn Rx is still a genuine option — semaglutide only now — tirzepatide is no longer offered, and the brand-name pages say coming soon. The low numbers are not months: they buy a vial capped at a dose, "Up To 1 mg" from $179 and "Up To 2.5 mg" at $299, with a $45 one-time appointment fee and shipping added. The monthly subscription is a separate plan at $249, and that one includes the provider, the medication and shipping. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

What the price covers

So the sticker prices cover different things: the clinician consult and shipping at CoreAge Rx but not, or not stated, at ShapeIn Rx. Add the missing pieces before you compare totals.

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
ShapeIn Rx
Editors' Rating 40/100 · Grade C
What we like
- The subscription bundles provider access, medication and free shipping into a single monthly figure
- Each vial package itemizes the box — vial, syringes, wipes, cooling pack — rather than leaving supplies unsaid
- "No Contracts or membership, you can cancel anytime", on every tier
The caveats
- As of October 2026, tirzepatide is no longer offered, and Zepbound, Mounjaro and Wegovy are marked coming soon
- The vial figures are not monthly prices — they buy a dose-capped vial, "Up To 1 mg" or "Up To 2.5 mg"
- Its own pages disagree: the 1 mg vial is $179 with $29 shipping on the semaglutide page but $199 with $19 shipping on the pricing page
