Head to head for first-timers
CoreAge Rx vs BeyondMD
CoreAge Rx and BeyondMD both offer GLP-1 telehealth, but they make different trade-offs on how gentle the start is, honest pricing, real support and access. Here they are side by side on the Mama-Match Score — our first-timer rubric.

Mama-Match
Best for: Moms who want a clinician with a name and a face, coaching included, and the door open to a brand-name pen — and who will get the exact price in writing before saying yes.
Visit BeyondMDThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out BeyondMD on the Mama-Match Score, 94 to 51 (A vs C). Moms who want a clear, honest first step — a real clinician instead of a questionnaire, a flat price, and the freedom to pause when life needs you to.
BeyondMD is still a genuine option — beyondMD publishes its price without asking you for anything first: from $125/mo for semaglutide and from $199 for tirzepatide, right there on every page. That alone puts it ahead of half this list. The fine print sits on a single page in the whole catalog, and it says the program cost runs from $139 to $449 a month, plus a $34 consultation fee. The start button isn't a cart either: it's a form for someone to call you, so your real number is quoted by phone. In its favor it has something almost nobody here offers: clinicians with names, credentials and bios, coaching and accountability included, access to a certified nutritionist, an order of Zofran for nausea, and brand-name Wegovy® and Zepbound® programs. Against it: its Terms contain not one word about refunds or about stopping. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

Mama-Match
CoreAge Rx
Rank #1 · Grade A
What we like
- One flat monthly price, with no teaser rate that jumps after the first month — you know the number before you commit
- A clinician reads your history and will genuinely talk timing with you if you're postpartum, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide in one account, so you and a clinician can choose — and switch — without starting over
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom teaser price — a couple of marketplaces dangle a lower first-month number
- Compounded medication only, not FDA-approved brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated OB-GYN or hormone consult
Mama-Match
BeyondMD
Rank #202 · Grade C
What we like
- Its clinicians have names, credentials and full bios — John Marley Bernard Jr., MD, Hollie Ann Hall, APRN-C and Jordan Dorsey, NP, among eleven in all. Almost no other provider reviewed here does that
- Brand-name Wegovy® and Zepbound® have their own programs, from $129, correctly labeled as FDA-approved
- Coaching and accountability are included without being marked optional, alongside access to a certified nutritionist and an order of Zofran for nausea
The caveats
- From $125 is the floor, not the price. The site publishes the real range on a single page in the whole catalog: $139 to $449 a month, plus $34 for the consult. That's up to 3.2 times the headline.
- The start button leads to a form for someone to call you, not to a cart, and that form contains no figures at all. Your real price is quoted by phone, never on the web.
- Its Terms say nothing about refunds and nothing about how to stop: the word refund does not appear once in the 44 KB document. What they do contain is a clause asking you not to dispute the charge with your bank, binding arbitration in Kent County, Michigan, and a $500 liability cap.
