Visit welludr.The verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out welludr. on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 59 (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.
welludr. is still a genuine option — one of the very few programs that prices the brand-name medications — Ozempic at $1,399, Zepbound at $1,599 — around a compounded offer that is much harder to pin down. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

What CoreAge Rx and welludr. cost
On semaglutide, CoreAge Rx charges $99 a month at every dose. welludr. doesn't sell semaglutide month to month: its lowest figure, $49 every 4 weeks, comes with a longer commitment (injection, any dose), so the two prices are not like for like.
On tirzepatide, CoreAge Rx charges $149 a month at every dose. welludr. doesn't sell tirzepatide month to month: its lowest figure, $89 every 4 weeks, comes with a longer commitment (injection, any dose), so the two prices are not like for like.
Only welludr. offers brand-name medication (from $1,399 every 4 weeks cash); CoreAge Rx sticks to compounded versions.

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
welludr.
Editors' Rating 59/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Prices Ozempic and Zepbound rather than sending a reader off to ask
- Serves all fifty states
- Plans can be changed or canceled; confirm current terms before enrolling
The caveats
- Ships and bills every four weeks — thirteen cycles a year rather than twelve
- The $49 and $89 figures are "starting at" prices under a seasonal sale
- The undiscounted rate is published nowhere on the site
CoreAge Rx vs welludr.: quick answers
Is CoreAge Rx cheaper than welludr.?
We can't put CoreAge Rx and welludr. side by side on one price: they don't both publish a month-to-month rate for the same medication. Ask each for the full monthly total at your dose before deciding.

Yes. CoreAge Rx lists tirzepatide at $149 a month at every dose, and welludr. lists it at $89 every 4 weeks on a longer plan.
Do I need a video visit with CoreAge Rx or welludr.?
CoreAge Rx starts with an online questionnaire instead. Ask welludr. at signup whether it needs one. Either way, a licensed clinician reviews your health history before anything is prescribed.
Do CoreAge Rx and welludr. serve every state?
CoreAge Rx lists all 50 states. welludr. lists all 50 states. Both say they cover all 50, so where you live won't decide this one.
