Visit TeleClinicThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out TeleClinic on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 47 (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.
TeleClinic is still a genuine option — teleClinic's FAQ now puts a standard rate on each drug — $199 a month for compounded semaglutide, $299 for tirzepatide — after an introductory start of $79 or $149 for the first month. Its "the price you start with is the price you keep" promise sits beside those intro-then-standard rates, so read it as a promise that your price will not climb with your dose, which the site does state plainly. The rest is genuinely good: one price at every dose, 47 states with the three exclusions named outright, and a compounding pharmacy identified by name. 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
TeleClinic
Editors' Rating 47/100 · Grade C
What we like
- The price truly does not scale with dose — "Same price at every dose", "Dose increases, price stays the same" — which is what matters most once titration starts
- Publishes the full state list: 47 served, with California, South Carolina and New Jersey named rather than discovered at checkout
- Names its compounding pharmacy, Rush Pharmacy, and calls it 503A licensed
The caveats
- The site contradicts itself on its own headline promise — treatment pages say "your rate is locked for the life of your membership" while the FAQ moves you from an intro rate to a $199 or $299 standard rate
- The intro prices disagree across pages: $79 and $149 for the first month on the treatment pages, $139 and $219 a month for the first quarter in the FAQ
- "No hidden fees" and "Price includes everything: consultation, medication, shipping" sit alongside a refund policy contemplating a state-required consultation fee billed separately
