Visit AskRxThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out AskRx on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 77 (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.
AskRx is still a genuine option — askRx was the first one where I read the pricing footnote and did not feel like I was being handled. It says it straight: $90 a month is the physician visit, $10 a month is fulfilment, that is $100 total for care, and your medication is billed separately — through their own pharmacy, at cost, no markup. I have looked at a lot of these pages now and almost none of them tell you which part of the number is the doctor and which part is the drug. It is also FDA-approved only. 'No compounded meds' is right there on the page, and what you can get is the Wegovy pen, the Wegovy pill, Zepbound as a pen or a KwikPen, and Foundayo, the oral tirzepatide that is newer than most of the roster. All 50 states, board-certified doctors, unlimited messaging, cancel anytime. What I would want to know before signing up: nobody publishes what the medication itself costs, so $100 is where it starts and not where it ends. And 'video visits available in select states' means the no-appointment promise is not everywhere — worth checking for your state specifically if fitting a call into your week is the thing that would sink it. 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
AskRx
Ranked #27 · Grade C
What we like
- Itemizes the bill: $90/mo physician visit + $10/mo fulfilment = $100/mo care fee, with medication shown separately at checkout
- Medication dispensed through its own pharmacy and billed 'at cost — never a markup'
- FDA-approved products only, stated plainly as 'No compounded meds'
The caveats
- The $100 is a care fee, not a medication price — no medication cost is published anywhere, so your real monthly total is unknown until checkout
- Brand-name only, so there is no route to the $79-$149 range the compounded providers on this page occupy
- 'Video visits available in select states' — the no-appointment route is not universal, so check your own state
