Head-to-head for moms
CoreAge Rx vs Zappy Health
CoreAge Rx and Zappy Health both offer GLP-1 telehealth to mothers, but they make different trade-offs on family-budget value, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Editors' Rating — our six-factor rubric for mothers.
CoreAge Rx
Higher scoreRanked #1 · Grade A
Best for: 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.

Ranked #166 · Grade C
Best for: A household that can tell a prepaid block from a monthly bill and wants the flat rate.
Visit Zappy HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Zappy Health on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 53 (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.
Zappy Health is still a genuine option — semaglutide is $249 a month and tirzepatide $349, flat at every dose, and those are the only two figures on the site that are actually monthly. Everything cheaper is prepayment: the 'as low as $159' is $477 taken in one go for three months of vials shipped together, and only in some states. Brand Wegovy and Zepbound are available too, but as a $99 care fee with the drug billed separately — a different purchase with a very different total. It carries an FDA letter from February and has since taken the cited claims down. 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
Zappy Health
Ranked #166 · Grade C
What we like
- A real month-to-month option at a single flat price, not just prepaid tiers
- Same price at every dose, so titrating up never raises the bill
- Removed the claims cited in its FDA letter, verified as absent site-wide
The caveats
- ⚠ Carries an FDA warning letter: issued 20 February 2026 to Kare Solutions, LLC dba Zappy, MARCS-CMS 717991, for false and misleading claims and misbranding in telehealth, with no close-out recorded
- The advertised 'as low as $159/month' is $477 billed once for a three-month block, and is limited to selected states
- How many weeks of medication a 'month' contains is never stated anywhere on the site
