Visit TeleSlim ClinicThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out TeleSlim Clinic on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 52 (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.
TeleSlim Clinic is still a genuine option — you cannot cost a year here, and that is the finding. The subscription is knowable — $99 a month, or $899 up front for twelve, which is $75 a month — and it buys a Chicago clinical team across six named states. The medication is prescribed and then priced somewhere the site never publishes, so every annual figure you can build has an unknown addend in it. 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
TeleSlim Clinic
Ranked #220 · Grade C
What we like
- Six states named outright, not gestured at
- Three named physicians, dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy
- The subscription ladder is fully published: $99, $269, $499, $899
The caveats
- The medication price is published nowhere, so no annual total can be computed
- "Pricing dummy" is live in the site's main navigation
- Weekly dietitian and exercise follow-ups carry an unstated additional fee
