Visit EllieMDThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out EllieMD on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 40 (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.
EllieMD is still a genuine option — ellieMD’s public selector lists a GLP-1 + B12 injection subscription at $717 for three months ($239/month equivalent), or $2,388 for twelve ($199 equivalent). GLP-1/GIP + B12 starts at $897 for three months. These generic labels do not confirm exact molecules. One-time packages cost more and do not renew; installments add 6%.

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
EllieMD
Ranked #324 · Grade C
What we like
- The public selector shows full upfront totals and subscription renewal intervals before intake
- One-time packages are explicitly labeled as nonrenewing alternatives
- Selected injection plans advertise provider care, two-day shipping, treatment materials, nausea medication and labs with no hidden membership, shipping or consultation fees
The caveats
- Selected products use generic GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP labels; exact medication identities need confirmation
- The $199 and $249 headline equivalents require twelve-month subscription prepayment, not monthly payment
- Subscription policies retain a three-month minimum and cancellation at least 48 hours before renewal
