Visit Welling HealthThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out Welling Health on the Mama-Match Score, 73 to 65 (C vs C). Someone comparing dose prices who can obtain the offer, state availability and order terms in writing.
Welling Health is still a genuine option — compounded semaglutide at $190 a month and tirzepatide at $275, the same price at every dose, medication and clinician access included — and then something no one else here does: the price drops the longer you stay consistent. Its own pricing page publishes the whole ladder, 10% off at a ten-day streak, 20% at twenty, 30% at thirty, which takes semaglutide down to $133 and tirzepatide to $192. Two things to weigh. The $190 and $275 are what you actually start on, so treat the low numbers as a discount you have to earn and keep. And nowhere on that page does it say what counts as a streak or what breaks one, which is the first thing worth asking. 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
Welling Health
Rank #76 · Grade C
What we like
- The full discount ladder is published openly with every tier priced, rather than hinted at
- Same price at every dose on both molecules
- Medication, clinician review and shipping are in the one rate, with no separate membership fee
The caveats
- The $133 and $192 headlines are the bottom of a 30-day streak discount, not a starting rate — you begin at $190 and $275
- What counts as a streak, and what breaks one, is not defined anywhere on the pricing page
- The discount is behavioral, so a bad month costs you money as well as progress — an unusual thing to build into a medication price
