Pallas Health

Ranked #2 for moms · Grade B+

The verdict

Higher Mom-Tested Score: CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx edges out Pallas Health on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 86 (A vs B+). 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.

Pallas Health is still a genuine option — pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.

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

Pallas Health

Ranked #2 · Grade B+

What we like

  • Both routes in one place — compounded from ~$199/mo and genuine brand Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro cash-pay
  • Flat price at every dose, stated plainly on the site, with no separate membership fee
  • Asynchronous care in 43 of 50 states — no video call to schedule

The caveats

  • Bills every 12 weeks ($597 or $897 a cycle), not monthly — the '$199/mo' is Pallas's own average, not how the charge lands
  • The compounding pharmacy is never named, only 'US-licensed compounding pharmacies'
  • Cash-pay only — it does not bill insurance at all, so there's no coverage route
