CoreAge Rx vs Weightstry
CoreAge Rx and Weightstry don't publish comparable month-to-month prices for the same medication, so the choice turns on how each one works. Choose CoreAge Rx if you want to pay for tirzepatide month to month; choose Weightstry if you want an oral option. The details, from each provider's own published prices and terms, are below.

Visit WeightstryThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Weightstry on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 68 (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.
Weightstry is still a genuine option — weightstry is a telehealth practice built for women 38 to 55 whose weight shifted with perimenopause, and it has two doors. Fitstry, the GLP-1-only door, charges just for medication — compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide from $249 a month on a month-to-month plan, billed every four weeks — with visits, labs, coaching and shipping thrown in for a limited time. The full Weightstry membership adds a named clinician, twice-yearly labs, a dietitian, a weekly coach and hormone therapy for $150 a month on top of medication. It is licensed in 49 states, with Louisiana on a waitlist. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

What CoreAge Rx and Weightstry cost
On semaglutide, CoreAge Rx charges $99 a month at every dose and Weightstry charges $249 every 4 weeks, rising to $399 at the higher doses. The billing periods differ, so compare the year: about $1,188 at CoreAge Rx against $5,187 at Weightstry on the higher-dose price.
On tirzepatide, CoreAge Rx charges $149 a month at every dose. Weightstry doesn't sell tirzepatide month to month: its lowest figure, $199 every 4 weeks, comes with a longer commitment (fitstry starting price, longer plan), so the two prices are not like for like.

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
Weightstry
Editors' Rating 68/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Built specifically for women 38 to 55 going through hormonal change
- A GLP-1-only option with no membership, and a full practice option with hormone therapy
- Labs at baseline, at month three and twice a year after
The caveats
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, which Weightstry states itself
- "Starting at" prices of $149 and $199 are longer-plan rates; month to month starts at $249
- Bills every four weeks, so a year is thirteen charges
