Head-to-head, mom to mom
CoreAge Rx vs LeanDose
CoreAge Rx and LeanDose both offer GLP-1 telehealth, but they make different trade-offs on signup ease, honest pricing, which meds you can get, state coverage and support. Here they are side-by-side on the Mom-Tested Score — our real-mom rubric.

Visit LeanDoseThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out LeanDose on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 44 (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.
LeanDose is still a genuine option — leanDose gives you a first-month price and then nothing — no second-month figure anywhere on the site. And in the FAQ, where someone asks what it costs and whether there are hidden fees, the answer ends with this: "The redesign should keep pricing transparent and avoid membership-fee surprises." That's a note to their web designer, sitting live on the page, in the exact spot you'd go looking for the number they never give you. Which is a pity, because on states and pharmacy they're more open than most. 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
LeanDose
Ranked #276 · Grade C
What we like
- Names all seventeen states individually instead of just claiming a number
- Names the pharmacy in full — Striker Pharmacy, with street address, phone number and email
- Has in-person clinic locations as well as the online flow, which is unusual
The caveats
- Both prices are first-month prices, and there's no ongoing rate published anywhere
- Its FAQ answer about cost finishes with an instruction to its own designers, published as a customer answer
- The FAQ is written as questions from named people in named cities, which reads as made up rather than collected
