CoreAge Rx vs TellHerDoc
CoreAge Rx and TellHerDoc 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.
Visit CoreAge RxTellHerDoc
Ranked #121 · Grade C
Best for: Someone who values knowing exactly who prescribes and who fills the prescription, and who will get the injection price and the plan length in writing before paying, because the advertised floor is a prepaid oral-pill rate.
Visit TellHerDocThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out TellHerDoc 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.
TellHerDoc is still a genuine option — one public number and a great deal of small print. Read live on 2026-08-26, the homepage says "Starting at $269" for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, and neither molecule is priced separately anywhere a reader can reach before the quiz. The footnote matters more than the figure: it says the price is paid upfront in full, that the actual price depends on the product and subscription plan you buy, and that the introductory pricing applies only to new customers on the compounded ORAL semaglutide plan — so the cheapest advertised route is a pill, not the weekly injection most readers are shopping for. The banner reading Get $140 Off Today is a discount amount rather than a price, and at least one industry directory has misread it as a $140 introductory rate. Where TellHerDoc is unusually good is disclosure of everything except price: it serves all fifty states, names its medical team and four partner pharmacies, and publishes the seven jurisdictions where a live video consultation is legally required. Where it is unusually blunt: all sales are final. 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
TellHerDoc
Ranked #121 · Grade C
What we like
- Carries both molecules in injection and pill form, with microdoses advertised alongside standard dosing
- Names its medical team with checkable NPIs — Lion MD, led by Dr. Ana Lisa Carr and Dr. Kelly Tenbrink, with two supporting physicians
- Names all four partner pharmacies with phone numbers and websites: Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts and Casa Pharma Rx
The caveats
- $269 is a floor, it is paid upfront in full, and no page prices either molecule specifically
- The introductory pricing applies only to new customers on the compounded oral semaglutide plan — not to the injection
- The Get $140 Off banner is a discount amount, not a price, and has already been misread as one elsewhere
