How we scored Science & Co
Each factor is read off Science & Co's published pricing, disclosures and intake flow, and the six roll up into the 79/100 Rx-Readiness Score on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
The weakest showing on speed — a slow published timeline, or none at all.
Fair pricing once you read past any teaser or plan structure.
Fully async — no scheduled camera visit to wedge into a workday.
All 50 states — a move for work or family won't interrupt care.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account — switch without re-signing.
Cancellation is workable but not frictionless.

HSA/FSA generally applies to GLP-1 telehealth; confirm with your plan. These figures are Science & Co's public disclosures at last review and change often; confirm the current number on Science & Co's own site.
What we like
- It publishes the month-to-month price and the long-plan price together, with the saving shown
- It says in its own copy that the low figure is the twelve-month plan
- A five-minute online quiz with no scheduled call in the published flow
- Flat pricing at every dose, no monthly membership and free shipping
- All fifty states and Washington, D.C., written into the terms
- It says every batch is third-party tested for purity and potency
The caveats
- The advertised figures are twelve-month plan rates, not monthly ones
- Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic each have a page and all three say coming soon
- The microdose, the gentlest entry, is also still coming soon
- It does not name the pharmacy that compounds the medication
- No shipping window is published, so time to first dose is unknown
Science & Co for working moms: our verdict
It shows both prices at once and says which is which: $149/mo with no commitment, $79 on a twelve-month plan. Brand-name is listed, but all three pages say coming soon. It runs about $149/month, flat across every dose — toward the affordable end of what we track.
We weigh Science & Co 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 Science & Co will cost you
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection, all doses (flat), month to month: $149/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection, 12-month plan: $79/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection, all doses (flat), month to month: $199/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection, 12-month plan: $125/mo
That sits below the roughly $179 median ongoing price across the providers we track for working moms — a real cost advantage.
The medications Science & Co prescribes
Science & Co 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 Science & Co fits — and where it doesn't — for working moms
Right for you if…
- 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.
- 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 in Science & Co's public facts is high — pricing, pharmacies, and clinical network were verifiable at last review. 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.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the timing decision belongs to you and your clinician.
The bottom line
Science & Co 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: Someone already confident of staying the course a year, who wants the discounted rate with the commitment spelled out rather than buried.

- 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
Science & Co, answered
- Is it $79 or $149?
- Both, depending on the commitment — and the site explains it rather than hiding it. The $79 is the twelve-month plan and the $149 is month to month, shown together with the percentage saved. Showing both is the right way to do it; the only thing to hold onto is that $79 a month is twelve months of decision.
- How long does the intake take?
- About five minutes, all online, with no commitment at the quiz stage. There is no scheduled video visit in the published flow, which matters if the reason a program stalls for you is finding a half-hour on a weekday to sit on a call.
- Can Wegovy or Ozempic be obtained here?
- Not yet. The Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic pages all exist and all three say coming soon. What is sold today is pharmacy-compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which are not FDA-approved as finished products and are not equivalent to the brand-name medications.
