Visit Hello AlphaThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Hello Alpha on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 66 (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.
Hello Alpha is still a genuine option — hello Alpha’s $79/month Plus+ membership covers four online visits per month and provider messaging. Medication is billed separately through insurance or cash pay, so the membership price is not the full treatment cost. 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
Hello Alpha
Ranked #88 · Grade C
What we like
- A women’s health platform with weight-loss care alongside other services
- $79/month Plus+ includes four online visits, 24/7 messaging and free medication shipping
- Can work with insurance for medication; membership itself is not covered
The caveats
- The $79 fee excludes medication
- No complete cash medication price is published
- Membership fees are non-refundable
