Visit Telos RxThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Telos Rx on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 81 (A vs B−). 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.
Telos Rx is still a genuine option — a fast, fully async start with a needle-free sublingual tirzepatide and eye-catching '$49 to start' pricing — held back by an ongoing rate it won't publish and a state list it doesn't disclose. 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
Telos Rx
Ranked #12 · Grade B−
What we like
- Fully asynchronous, five-minute intake with prescriptions often reviewed within hours
- Needle-free sublingual tirzepatide plus a microdosed 'gentlest start' tier — an unusually flexible menu
- Quarterly labs, free 2-day shipping, and cancel-anytime from the portal
The caveats
- The '$49/$99' prices are first-month 'from' rates — the ongoing monthly isn't published, and some rates reference a 12-month plan
- States served aren't disclosed anywhere on the site
- Fees are non-refundable, no compounding pharmacy is named, and the independent review footprint is thin
