Visit CollectiveThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Collective on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 53 (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.
Collective is still a genuine option — semaglutide is $59/month and tirzepatide $69 at any dose, plus a required $199 annual membership after a 21-day trial. Medication is billed during the trial. Twelve months plus membership total $907/$1,027; membership fees are nonrefundable. 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
- Advertised $79 semaglutide and $129 tirzepatide monthly prices stay the same at every listed dose
- 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
Collective
Ranked #241 · Grade C
What we like
- Low medication prices, $59 and $69 a month, flat at every dose
- Still low once the membership is counted
- A 21-day free trial before the membership fee is charged
The caveats
- Medication and the required $199 annual membership are separate charges
- Counted properly the first year is $907 and $1,027
- Membership fees are non-refundable and part-periods are not refunded
