CoreAge Rx vs Obu Health

Visit Obu HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Obu Health on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 58 (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.
Obu Health is still a genuine option — starting From $190/mo semaglutide and $239/mo tirzepatide, with two named compounding pharmacies and a genuine self-serve cancel-anytime policy — but no state list and no published time-to-first-dose figure. It also sells NAD+ injections ($219 one-time) and sermorelin ($149/mo) on the same account for anyone curious about broader longevity add-ons, and its FAQ confirms a video or phone consult is only required in certain states, not universally. 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
Obu Health
Ranked #91 · Grade C
What we like
- Names two real compounding pharmacies with full addresses, and lets you redirect to your own local one
- Self-serve 'cancel at any time' policy, published on its own site
- Async by default — video/phone required only in certain states
The caveats
- No published state list
- No specific time-to-first-dose figure beyond a general 24-hour review claim
- "Starting From" pricing means the actual dose may cost more than the headline number
