Visit SurpassMDThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out SurpassMD on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 59 (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.
SurpassMD is still a genuine option — $114 a month for semaglutide is one of the lowest numbers I've seen anywhere, so I went looking for the catch, and SurpassMD tells you itself — just not next to the price. Down in the FAQ: those figures are "for eligible patients with a promotion". What the price is without one, it never says. The coverage is genuinely good though — all fifty states plus DC, 503A compounding, cold-chain, shipped within 48 hours of approval. There's an oral semaglutide too, with no price anywhere. 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
SurpassMD
Ranked #162 · Grade C
What we like
- All fifty states and DC — wider than almost anyone else on this list
- Says exactly how the pharmacy side works: 503A compounding, cold-chain, tracked, out the door within 48 hours
- There's an oral semaglutide tablet as well as the shots
The caveats
- Both prices are promotional and it only admits that in the FAQ — "for eligible patients with a promotion"
- Price also "depends on medication, dose, and provider approval", so these are floors twice over
- The oral semaglutide option has no price at all
