Visit CoivasThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out Coivas on the Mama-Match Score, 94 to 69 (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.
Coivas is still a genuine option — coivas prints both prices on the same page, which is not common. The cards say semaglutide from $119 and tirzepatide from $199; further down, the comparison table says $149 and $229, marked "after intro period". That second pair is what you pay from month two, and it is the one to budget with. The price is flat at every dose, so moving up a dose does not raise the bill, and it covers all 50 states with the consultation, medication and shipping included. There is no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound, no tablet, and no mention of blood work anywhere. 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
Coivas
Rank #44 · Grade C
What we like
- The ongoing price sits next to the introductory one rather than being hidden
- Same price at every dose, so going up a dose does not cost more
- All 50 states, with consultation, prescription, medication and shipping included
The caveats
- The $119 and $199 you see first are introductory — after that it is $149 and $229
- Every price says "from", and the site warns your dose can change them
- Compounded only: no Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro
