Visit Alan MedsThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Alan Meds on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 58 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
Alan Meds is still a genuine option — a broader Alan Health platform offering both compounded and FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s — compounded semaglutide standing at $315/mo (currently discounted to $158/mo under an active BOGO promotion) and tirzepatide at $325/mo on a 6-month plan — though state coverage isn't published. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Flat monthly price with no first-month teaser that jumps at refill — the number on screen is the number every month
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
Alan Meds
Ranked #53 · Grade C
What we like
- Offers both compounded and FDA-approved brand-name (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) options on the same platform
- Currently running an active Buy-1-Get-1-Free promotion that meaningfully lowers the effective compounded price
- Broader wellness menu (longevity, hair, skin, menopause, blood testing) under one account
The caveats
- No state-coverage list published on the pages checked
- The advertised headline price is a limited-time promotion, not the standing rate
- Tirzepatide's disclosed rate requires a 6-month prepay commitment; no month-to-month price was found
