Explicitly flat, dose-independent pricing for both molecules, stated directly and repeatedly — one of the clearer pricing claims in this round.
Not stated either way — scored on the gap.
All 50 states, stated directly.

Added 26 August 2026: NewSelf Limited dba NewSelf holds FDA warning letter #721472, dated 20 February 2026. A screen of the WHOLE roster against the live FDA index (3,664 letters, self-test green) turned it up — not a brand-name search — and we confirmed it by reading the letter, which names newself.com. This review had been published for months without mentioning it. A letter discloses; it does not disqualify, and nothing about the ranking changed. $99.97 and $144.49, flat regardless of dose, all fifty states. The catch is the term rather than the number — three months up front, with no true month-to-month option.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked NewSelf's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. We don't create accounts, enter medical data, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.

NewSelf for working moms: our verdict
FDA warning letter #721472 (Feb. 2026), which names newself.com. A flat, dose-independent price for both molecules — $99.97/mo semaglutide, $144.49/mo tirzepatide, same price at every dose — nationwide, though it requires 3 months upfront. It runs about $99.97/month, flat across every dose — toward the affordable end of what we track.
We weigh NewSelf the way working moms actually have to: not just the monthly line on your budget, but how fast you can start without a scheduled video visit and a flat monthly price that doesn't climb as your dose does — the parts a generic review does not measure.
What NewSelf will cost you
- Compounded semaglutide — Semaglutide+, all dosages same price: $99.97/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Tirzepatide+, all dosages same price: $144.49/mo
That sits below the roughly $179 median ongoing price across the providers we track for working moms — a real cost advantage.
The medications NewSelf prescribes
NewSelf prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two best-evidenced molecules in the class, and having both on one account matters because you can switch between them without re-enrolling or hunting down a new provider mid-plan. These are compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where NewSelf fits — and where it doesn't — for working moms
Right for you if…
- you want to start fast and async — no scheduled video visit to wedge between work and pickup.
- the monthly line on your budget is a real barrier and you want a low, predictable number.
- you want a flat price that doesn't climb every time you titrate up a dose.
- nationwide access matters — a move for work or family shouldn't interrupt care.
Not your best option if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen and insurance navigation.
- a clean regulatory record is a dealbreaker — note the FDA warning flagged in the cons above.
- you'd rather the most predictable place to start and pause — which is exactly what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is designed around.
Trust, safety, and the fine print
Our confidence is moderate — the core facts check out, but some details (per-state availability, program mechanics) aren't fully public. It carries an FDA warning letter, flagged in the cons — read it before starting. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing working moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
A standing caveat for working moms: GLP-1 medications aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against use. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
The bottom line
NewSelf is a genuine value play — weigh it on how fast you can start without a scheduled video visit and a flat monthly price that doesn't climb as your dose does against the alternatives below. For most working moms, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for working moms
Best for: Working moms who want a genuinely flat price that never climbs as their dose increases, and are comfortable prepaying 3 months.

- Visit CoreAge RxRx-Readiness95100CoreAge RxOur #1 pick
The shortlist pick: one flat price that doesn't climb as your dose does, both molecules on a single plan, and a nationwide async intake you can finish on a break.
- Visit Pallas HealthRx-Readiness89100
Pallas Health removes the two things that usually cost a working parent the most time: it publishes every price before intake, and it runs care asynchronously in 43 of 50 states, so there's no video appointment to wedge into a workday. Compounded semaglutide averages about $199 a month and tirzepatide $299, and unusually the genuine FDA-approved pens sit alongside them — Zepbound $1,069, Ozempic $1,299, Wegovy and Mounjaro $1,349 — all cash-pay from the same clinician. The price is flat at every dose, so a titration never produces a surprise bill, and the plan figure already contains the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging with no membership fee. Its cancellation terms are unusually concrete: cancel free through the portal, keep access to the end of the paid period, full refund if a clinician declines you, and a $5 processing fee on a qualifying refund. The trade-offs are that billing lands every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 blocks rather than monthly, the compounding pharmacy is never named, and insurance is never billed.
- Visit Trimi HealthRx-Readiness88100
The price-first partner: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive compounded pricing we track, nationwide and async — strong if the monthly number is your deciding factor and you read the annual-prepay fine print.

Head-to-head & alternatives
NewSelf, answered
- How much does NewSelf cost?
- Budget around $99.97 a month — that was NewSelf's lowest ongoing compounded rate at last review ($99.97/mo semaglutide, $144.49/mo tirzepatide). Verify the all-in figure on their site before you plan around it; these numbers change often.
- Can I start NewSelf without a scheduled video visit?
- NewSelf involves more clinician touchpoints (and, in some cases, a scheduled visit), so it isn't the fastest async start. If a no-video signup is your priority, our #1 pick is built for it.
- Does NewSelf offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — NewSelf offers both molecules, so you can switch without re-enrolling. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action posts the strongest published weight-loss numbers.
- Where does NewSelf rank for working moms?
- NewSelf earns 70/100 on our Rx-Readiness Score, ranking #41. Speed to first dose and flat pricing carry the most weight of the six factors behind it. CoreAge Rx leads — see how they compare.
