CoreAge Rx vs Pepti
CoreAge Rx and Pepti both offer GLP-1 telehealth, but they make different trade-offs on speed to first dose, flat pricing, access and molecule choice. Here they are side-by-side on the Rx-Readiness Score — our readiness rubric.
CoreAge Rx
Higher scoreRanked #1 · Grade A
Best for: 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.

Ranked #17 · Grade C
Best for: Mothers for whom monthly cost is the deciding factor, who live in one of the 36 states Pepti ships to, and who don't need insurance billing or a brand-name option.
Visit PeptiThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Pepti on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 77 (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.
Pepti is still a genuine option — pepti publishes the lowest semaglutide price in this entire roster — $99 a month, flat at every titration dose, with the medication, physician review, shipping, refill management and unlimited messaging with your prescribing doctor all inside it. Tirzepatide is $199 on the same all-in, flat-at-every-dose basis. That number is low enough to deserve skepticism, so it is worth saying exactly where it comes from: Pepti states it on a dedicated cost page, repeats it in its FAQ ('we keep pricing flat and transparent at $99/mo all-in'), and prices the comparison against Hims, Henry Meds and Mochi on the same page. It names two prescribing physicians and says its medication is compounded by FDA-registered 503A or 503B pharmacies, though it never names which. The real limits are reach and format: it ships to 36 states rather than 50, it is cash-pay only and bills no insurance, and its needle-free oral GLP-1/GIP drops cost $349 — well above its own injection. 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
Pepti
Ranked #17 · Grade C
What we like
- $99/mo semaglutide is the lowest price in this roster, stated flatly on a dedicated cost page and repeated in the FAQ
- Flat at every titration dose for both molecules — the cost doesn't climb as you go up
- All-in: medication, physician review, shipping, refill management and unlimited messaging with the prescribing physician
The caveats
- Ships to 36 states, not 50 — the narrowest coverage of the providers added here
- Cash-pay only; Pepti states plainly that it does not bill insurance
- The compounding pharmacies are described as FDA-registered 503A or 503B but never named
