Visit NoviThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Novi on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 52 (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.
Novi is still a genuine option — novi’s homepage now lists semaglutide at $129 month-to-month or $297 every three months, and tirzepatide at $169 or $417 every three months. Its medication page still advertises an older annual floor. Confirm the selected plan and renewal amount before paying. 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
- 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
Novi
Ranked #253 · Grade C
What we like
- The homepage now states monthly and three-month billing totals separately.
- Free shipping, stated plainly in the help center, with cold packs via FedEx, UPS or USPS
- All 50 states plus DC, stated consistently across its own pages, with only five states needing a brief video or audio visit first
The caveats
- The homepage and product pages show different prices, and the terms require a minimum three-month commitment.
- No compounding pharmacy named, no clinicians named, no medical director, and its About page is broken — the only named humans on the site are testimonial first names
- Its own Notice of Privacy Practices tells you three times to check for updates at a different company's web address, which is sloppy paperwork on the document that governs your health data
Some providers we list are partners, and we may be paid when you sign up through our links, at no cost to you. That can affect which providers we feature. Pricing, states and verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
