Best for: Someone who will commit to three months up front and knows the advertised rate is a first-time price that does not survive into month four.
Visit Luma MedsThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Luma Meds on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 63 (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.
Luma Meds is still a genuine option — compounded semaglutide at $199 a month to month, the same price at every dose, with medication, clinician support and two-day shipping in the one price and no membership fee. The $139.99 the site advertises everywhere is not that rate: its own product page shows it is the three-month plan, and first-time-patient pricing on top of that. A returning patient on a monthly plan pays $199. Tirzepatide starts at $199 but its month-to-month rate is not published anywhere. Worth knowing too that the same figure appears three different ways across the site — $139.99, $140 and $139 — and that the $249 and $469 shown beside them are struck-through anchors rather than prices it charges. 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
Luma Meds
Ranked #107 · Grade C
What we like
- Same price at every dose, stated plainly on the product page
- No membership fee and no separate consultation charge
- Medication, provider-managed titration, unlimited 24/7 provider messaging and free two-day shipping in the one price
The caveats
- The advertised $139.99 is the three-month plan AND first-time-patient pricing; the month-to-month rate is $199
- The same figure is rendered three ways across the site — $139.99, $140 and $139
- $249 and $469 appear as struck-through anchors beside the real prices, and are not rates it charges
