Mama-Match
CoreAge Rx
Rank #37 · 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
ShedRx
Rank #16 · Grade B−
What we like
- Prices published per product before intake, with the 1-, 6- and 12-month tiers side by side
- The entire site exists in Spanish, not just one translated page
- Health coaching, unlimited provider follow-ups, courses, community and a tracking app all included
The caveats
- A minimum commitment of two full months: canceling early doesn't release you from paying them
- Sells Wegovy® and Zepbound® brand medication, but with a separate ~$125/mo Shed membership on top of the drug price
- The “from $159/mo” headline is the 12-month plan rate, not the month-to-month price ($199)
