Visit VigorMedsThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out VigorMeds on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 35 (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.
VigorMeds is still a genuine option — semaglutide starts from $299 as an injection or $239 sublingual, and tirzepatide from $399 or $233 sublingual, with $100 off the first month — but you now see those figures only after the assessment's health questions. The price box never says what period it buys; the return policy talks about a monthly fee, yet the product prices themselves carry no "per month". The fine print matters here: a subscription renews unless you cancel at least 30 days before the renewal date, only the first month is refundable and only within 30 days of signing up, and reactivating costs an extra month's fee. One detail worth noticing: sublingual tirzepatide is priced below sublingual semaglutide, the reverse of nearly every other seller on this page. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

What the price covers
CoreAge Rx's price includes the clinician consult, the medication and shipping. VigorMeds' price includes the clinician consult and the medication. So the sticker prices cover different things: shipping at CoreAge Rx but not, or not stated, at VigorMeds. 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
VigorMeds
Editors' Rating 35/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Prices for four separate products, injection and sublingual
- Sublingual options for both molecules, cheaper than the injections
- A full refund of the first month if you cancel within 30 days of signing up
The caveats
- Prices appear only once you start the assessment, and the price box never states a billing period
- Every price is prefixed "from", so your dose may change it
- You must cancel at least 30 days before the renewal date, or the next period is charged
