Visit Lighter YouThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Lighter You on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 62 (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.
Lighter You is still a genuine option — two things here I haven't seen much of. Tirzepatide costs exactly what semaglutide does — both from $169 a month — when almost everyone else adds fifty to a hundred dollars for it. And they name four compounding pharmacies outright, with websites, street addresses and phone numbers: RedRock, Health Warehouse, Precision Compounding, Triad Rx. Most sites name none. All fifty states plus D.C. 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
Lighter You
Ranked #123 · Grade C
What we like
- Tirzepatide at the same $169 as semaglutide — almost everyone charges more for it
- Names four compounding pharmacies in full, with websites, addresses and phone numbers
- All fifty states plus Washington, D.C., said plainly
The caveats
- Both prices say "starting at", so your dose may move them
- The tablet at $249 and the microdose at $179 don't say per what, so it's not clear those are monthly
- Subscriptions renew automatically — it's in the Terms but not on the product pages
