Visit ZipHealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out ZipHealth on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 55 (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.
ZipHealth is still a genuine option — zipHealth lists Wegovy pens from $199 and Zepbound from $299, plus a $79 clinical service fee for new and repeat patients. The site calls medication prices estimates and says the pharmacy confirms the final amount. Cancel before a prescription is created for a full refund.

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
ZipHealth
Ranked #224 · Grade C
What we like
- Public dose-based estimates and the clinical fee are shown before intake.
- Nothing is compounded — every product is the FDA-approved original, which takes a whole category of worry off the table
- Carries Foundayo (orforglipron), a once-a-day tablet you don't have to refrigerate, shipped from Eli Lilly
The caveats
- Add the $79 clinical fee to the medication estimate; the pharmacy confirms the final drug price.
- No list of states
- This is general telehealth — the same service handles migraine, herpes, asthma and more, so weight loss is one thing among many
