Visit HimsThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Hims on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 59 (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.
Hims is still a genuine option — hims is the men's counterpart to Hers, worth comparing if you're researching treatment for a partner. Its current brand-name menu comes with a separate monthly membership, and its September 2025 FDA warning letter concerns earlier compounded-semaglutide marketing. 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
Hims
Ranked #172 · Grade C
What we like
- Publishes medication starting prices before intake, so you can work out a budget before joining
- Membership includes monthly care-team follow-ups and messaging access
- A smart scale and in-app tracking can make it easier to discuss progress with the care team
The caveats
- An FDA warning letter to Hims dated September 9, 2025 said its compounded-semaglutide claims misleadingly implied equivalence to approved medicines; that letter concerns those claims, not a finding about today's branded products
- The $149 ongoing membership is separate from medication and does not guarantee a prescription
- Starting prices are not a promise of your later-dose cost
