Visit PeptiThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Pepti on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 74 (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.
Pepti is still a genuine option — pepti publishes the lowest semaglutide price in this entire roster — $99 a month, flat at every titration dose, with the medication, physician review, shipping, refill management and unlimited messaging with your prescribing doctor all inside it. Tirzepatide is $199 on the same all-in, flat-at-every-dose basis. That number is low enough to deserve skepticism, so it is worth saying exactly where it comes from: Pepti states it on a dedicated cost page, repeats it in its FAQ ('we keep pricing flat and transparent at $99/mo all-in'), and prices the comparison against Hims, Henry Meds and Mochi on the same page. It names two prescribing physicians and says its medication is compounded by FDA-registered 503A or 503B pharmacies, though it never names which. The real limits are reach and format: it ships to 36 states rather than 50, it is cash-pay only and bills no insurance, and its needle-free oral GLP-1/GIP drops cost $349 — well above its own injection.

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
Pepti
Ranked #36 · Grade C
What we like
- $99/mo semaglutide is the lowest price in this roster, stated flatly on a dedicated cost page and repeated in the FAQ
- Flat at every titration dose for both molecules — the cost doesn't climb as you go up
- All-in: medication, physician review, shipping, refill management and unlimited messaging with the prescribing physician
The caveats
- Ships to 36 states, not 50 — the narrowest coverage of the providers added here
- Cash-pay only; Pepti states plainly that it does not bill insurance
- The compounding pharmacies are described as FDA-registered 503A or 503B but never named
