Visit ShapeIn RxThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out ShapeIn Rx on the Mama-Match Score, 73 to 41 (C vs C). Someone comparing dose prices who can obtain the offer, state availability and order terms in writing.
ShapeIn Rx is still a genuine option — there are two different ways to buy here and they are priced in different units, and that is where you get lost. The cheap numbers — $199, $299 — are not months. They are vials with a dose cap: "Up To 1 mg", "Up To 2.5 mg", and on top of them come $45 for a one-off appointment and $19 for shipping. The monthly subscription is the other column, $249 for semaglutide and $349 for tirzepatide, and that one does include the provider, the medication and the shipping. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

Mama-Match
CoreAge Rx
Rank #31 · Grade C
What we like
- Published prices for both molecules, with the same advertised amount at each dose
- The offer includes medication, consultation and shipping, without an advertised membership fee
- The legal footer identifies the platform and the entities responsible for clinical care
The caveats
- The main site and a separate offer page show different prices
- The FAQ and policy differ on automatic rebilling and denial refunds
- State restrictions; orders become final when sent to pharmacy, with a 30-day refund cutoff
Mama-Match
ShapeIn Rx
Rank #292 · Grade C
What we like
- The subscription really does put provider access, medication and free shipping into one monthly figure
- Each vial package lists what is in the box — vial, syringes, wipes and a cooling pack — instead of staying quiet about supplies
- "No Contracts or membership, you can cancel anytime", on every option
The caveats
- The $199 and $299 are not monthly prices: they buy a vial with a dose cap, "Up To 1 mg" or "Up To 2.5 mg"
- On those vial packages you also pay $45 for the appointment and $19 for shipping
- The cost rises with the dose cap: $199 at 1mg and $299 at 2.5mg for semaglutide, $299 at 5mg and $399 at 10mg for tirzepatide
