Visit PlushCareThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out PlushCare on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 61 (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.
PlushCare is still a genuine option — plushCare charges $19.99/month membership after a free first month, plus an initial $129 self-pay visit. Medication is extra. Its semaglutide page lists compounded medication at $149 for the starting dose or $299 at higher doses; brand prescriptions are also offered.

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
PlushCare
Ranked #151 · Grade C
