Visit LillyDirect FoundayoThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out LillyDirect Foundayo on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 61 (A vs C). Working moms who want a decision, not a research project — flat pricing, both semaglutide and tirzepatide, and no scheduled video visit to book around work and pickup.
LillyDirect Foundayo is still a genuine option — not a telehealth clinic at all — zero intake, zero video visit, because it's a manufacturer-direct pharmacy for Foundayo (orforglipron), priced on a four-tier dose ladder from $149/mo (0.8mg) through $199/mo (2.5mg) and $299/mo (5.5mg and 9mg) to $349/mo (14.5mg and 17.2mg) self-pay, that only fills a prescription your own doctor already wrote and sent to LillyDirect Pharmacy or a pharmacy of your choosing. Weigh the six readiness factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat monthly price that stays put through titration — no dose-scaling surprise on your busiest month
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one plan, so you're not re-signing to switch
- Async, no-video intake and all-50-states coverage — start it during a lunch break
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a couple of teaser tiers elsewhere start lower
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand option
- General metabolic program, not a boutique concierge service
LillyDirect Foundayo
Ranked #72 · Grade C
What we like
- Zero intake, zero video visit — nothing to schedule at all
- As low as $25/mo for commercially-insured patients with the Lilly Savings Card
- Direct from the manufacturer — genuine FDA-approved product, no compounding
The caveats
- Only works if you already have a Foundayo prescription — it prescribes nothing itself
- Doesn't offer semaglutide or tirzepatide at all
- Medicare and Medicaid patients don't qualify for the $25/mo savings-card price
