Visit LillyDirect FoundayoThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out LillyDirect Foundayo on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 60 (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.
LillyDirect Foundayo is still a genuine option — not a telehealth clinic — a manufacturer-direct pharmacy for Foundayo (orforglipron), the oral GLP-1 pill, priced from $149/mo self-pay down to $25/mo with commercial insurance and the Lilly Savings Card, but only once your own doctor has already written the prescription. 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
LillyDirect Foundayo
Ranked #76 · Grade C
What we like
- As low as $25/mo for commercially-insured patients with the Lilly Savings Card — the cheapest legal brand-name GLP-1 path found on this network
- Direct from the manufacturer — genuine FDA-approved product, no compounding, no reseller markup
- Daily oral pill — no needles, no refrigeration, no injection supplies
The caveats
- Not a telehealth provider — you need a prescription from your own doctor before LillyDirect can do anything
- Medicare and Medicaid patients are not eligible for the $25/mo savings-card price
- Foundayo's average labeled-dose weight loss (~11%) trails Wegovy (~15%) and Zepbound (~21%) in trial data
