Head-to-head for moms
CoreAge Rx vs SurpassMD
CoreAge Rx and SurpassMD 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 #246 · Grade C
Best for: A family in a state most sellers skip, willing to ask what the number becomes when the promotion lapses.
Visit SurpassMDThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out SurpassMD on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 43 (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.
SurpassMD is still a genuine option — read the product cards and SurpassMD looks like one of the cheapest options anywhere: semaglutide as low as $114 a month, tirzepatide $177. Read the FAQ and the same site tells you those figures apply "for eligible patients with a promotion" — and then never publishes what the price is without one. The coverage is genuinely broad, all fifty states plus DC, with 503A compounding and cold-chain shipping inside 48 hours. There is an oral semaglutide option too, priced nowhere at all. 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
SurpassMD
Ranked #246 · Grade C
What we like
- All fifty states plus the District of Columbia — wider coverage than most of this roster
- States its pharmacy arrangement plainly: 503A compounding, cold-chain, tracked, shipped within 48 hours of approval
- Carries an oral semaglutide tablet as well as the injections
The caveats
- Both advertised prices are promotional, and the site only says so in the FAQ: they apply "for eligible patients with a promotion"
- Pricing also "depends on medication, dose, and provider approval", making the figures floors twice over
- The oral semaglutide option carries no price at all
