CoreAge Rx vs TeleClinic
CoreAge Rx and TeleClinic both offer GLP-1 telehealth, but they make different trade-offs on signup ease, honest pricing, which meds you can get, state coverage and support. Here they are side-by-side on the Mom-Tested Score — our real-mom rubric.

Visit TeleClinicThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out TeleClinic 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.
TeleClinic is still a genuine option — "The price you start with is the price you keep" — and directly above that sentence, on the same screen, a table reading "Intro rate (first quarter) $139/mo · Standard rate $199/mo". I read it three times. They can't both be true. The bullets underneath hint at what's meant — your price won't go up when your dose does — but that's me interpreting, not them saying. Which is a shame, because the rest is solid: flat pricing at every dose, 47 states with the three exceptions named outright, and a pharmacy they're willing to name. 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
TeleClinic
Ranked #163 · Grade C
What we like
- The price genuinely doesn't scale with dose — "Same price at every dose", "Dose increases, price stays the same" — which is the thing that bites once you start titrating
- The full state list is published: 47 served, with California, South Carolina and New Jersey named instead of found out at checkout
- Names its compounding pharmacy, Rush Pharmacy, and calls it 503A licensed
The caveats
- The site contradicts itself on its own headline promise — the treatment pages say "your rate is locked for the life of your membership" while the homepage shows $139/mo becoming $199/mo after the first quarter
- "No hidden fees" and "Price includes everything: consultation, medication, shipping" sit next to a refund policy that contemplates a state-required consultation fee billed separately
- The $199 standard rate is never attached to a specific drug, so neither semaglutide nor tirzepatide has an ongoing price of its own published
