Head to head for first-timers
CoreAge Rx vs Pepti
CoreAge Rx and Pepti 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.

Visit PeptiThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out Pepti on the Mama-Match Score, 94 to 73 (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.
Pepti is still a genuine option — pepti publishes the lowest semaglutide price in this entire roster — $99 a month, flat at every titration dose, with the medication, physician review, shipping, refill management and unlimited messaging with your prescribing doctor all inside it. Tirzepatide is $199 on the same all-in, flat-at-every-dose basis. That number is low enough to deserve skepticism, so it is worth saying exactly where it comes from: Pepti states it on a dedicated cost page, repeats it in its FAQ ('we keep pricing flat and transparent at $99/mo all-in'), and prices the comparison against Hims, Henry Meds and Mochi on the same page. It names two prescribing physicians and says its medication is compounded by FDA-registered 503A or 503B pharmacies, though it never names which. The real limits are reach and format: it ships to 36 states rather than 50, it is cash-pay only and bills no insurance, and its needle-free oral GLP-1/GIP drops cost $349 — well above its own injection. 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
Pepti
Rank #34 · Grade C
What we like
- $99/mo semaglutide is the lowest price in this roster, stated flatly on a dedicated cost page and repeated in the FAQ
- Flat at every titration dose for both molecules — the cost doesn't climb as you go up
- All-in: medication, physician review, shipping, refill management and unlimited messaging with the prescribing physician
The caveats
- Ships to 36 states, not 50 — the narrowest coverage of the providers added here
- Cash-pay only; Pepti states plainly that it does not bill insurance
- The compounding pharmacies are described as FDA-registered 503A or 503B but never named
