Visit Bayan HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Bayan Health on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 60 (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.
Bayan Health is still a genuine option — the cheapest prices I have seen, shown in the simplest way — an open storefront with six figures on it and no account, no email and no intake in the way. Microdose semaglutide is $99 a month, standard semaglutide $129, microdose tirzepatide $119 and standard tirzepatide $149, each once weekly with vitamin B6, and there are needle-free oral drops of both molecules at the microdose price. The microdose genuinely costs less here, which surprised me after seeing it priced higher elsewhere. Two things gave me pause. The oral drops come with nothing published about how they absorb, and milligrams under the tongue are not the same as milligrams injected. And the same page advertises retatrutide, badged "GLP-3", as coming soon, next to orforglipron and two oral tablets — retatrutide is investigational and approved for nothing, and "GLP-3" is a nickname rather than a real drug class. No states listed and no pharmacy named. 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
Bayan Health
Ranked #142 · Grade C
What we like
- Six prices on an open storefront with no account, email or intake
- The cheapest published rates on this list, from $99 a month
- The microdose tiers genuinely cost less than the standard ones
The caveats
- Advertises retatrutide, badged "GLP-3", as coming soon — a drug approved for nothing
- Oral drops sold with nothing published about how they absorb
- Three more products listed as coming soon with no price, including two oral tablets
