Visit TelePeptideThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out TelePeptide on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 51 (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.
TelePeptide is still a genuine option — telePeptide publishes its whole price chart, and the number that matters for most mothers is the monthly column: compounded semaglutide is $199 a month with no commitment, tirzepatide $249, and the dissolvable tablets $229 and $249. The $169 and $214 figures on the homepage are the annual-prepay rate — about $2,000 or more paid up front — with 3- and 6-month prepay steps in between. Every price covers the clinician, medication and shipping, it stays the same when your dose changes, and you are refunded in full if a clinician does not prescribe. Coverage is 48 states plus DC.

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
TelePeptide
Editors' Rating 51/100 · Grade C
What we like
- All-inclusive — clinician, medication and shipping sit inside the one price
- The price stays the same when your clinician raises your dose
- A no-commitment monthly plan, with 3-, 6- and 12-month prepay as optional savings
The caveats
- The homepage leads with the annual-prepay rate; month to month costs $30–$35 more for injections
- Leaving a prepay plan early refunds only unshipped months, less a $25 fee
- HSA and FSA cards are not accepted yet
