Head-to-head for moms
CoreAge Rx vs TeleSlim Clinic

Visit TeleSlim ClinicThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out TeleSlim Clinic on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 52 (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.
TeleSlim Clinic is still a genuine option — ninety-nine dollars a month, and none of it is the drug. What it buys is a Chicago clinical team — three named physicians, dietitians, an exercise physiologist, cognitive behavioral therapy — across six states it actually lists, which is more than most of this page manages. The prescription is written and then priced somewhere the site never shows you. The tiers run down to $75 a month on an annual plan; the medication stays outside every one of them. 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
TeleSlim Clinic
Ranked #173 · Grade C
What we like
- Lists its six states by name rather than gesturing at nationwide coverage
- Three named physicians, plus dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy
- Subscription tiers published in full, from $99 monthly to $899 a year
The caveats
- ⛔ The medication has no published price at all, so $99 is a floor with an unknown figure on top
- "Pricing dummy" is live as an item in the site's main menu
- The optional weekly dietitian and exercise sessions cost extra, and that extra is unstated
