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 stand out. Tirzepatide costs exactly what semaglutide does — both from $169 a month. And they name four compounding pharmacies outright, with addresses and phone numbers: RedRock, Health Warehouse, Precision Compounding, Triad Rx. All fifty states plus D.C.

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
Lighter You
Ranked #135 · Grade C
What we like
- Tirzepatide at the same $169 as semaglutide
- 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
