Visit KovaThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Kova on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 51 (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.
Kova is still a genuine option — kova just writes it out, in sentences, like a person explaining it to you: "1-month plan: $249 for your first month, then renews at $299/month thereafter. 3-month plan: $179/month, or $537 upfront." I checked every multiplication and they're all exact, which sounds like faint praise until you've spent an evening on sites whose per-month figures turn out to be averages with a one-off discount buried in them. The number to hold onto is the renewal — $299 for semaglutide, $399 for tirzepatide — unless you sign up for a term. 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
Kova
Ranked #235 · Grade C
What we like
- Writes the whole ladder out plainly, renewal price included — "$249 for your first month, then renews at $299/month thereafter"
- The per-month figures are the real per-month figures: every upfront total is exactly the monthly rate times the term
- You can pay the longer plans monthly instead of in one lump
The caveats
- The low prices need a commitment — $129/mo for semaglutide means twelve months
- Month to month the price goes up after the first month: $249 to $299, and $299 to $399 on tirzepatide
- No list of states
