Visit EllieMDThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out EllieMD on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 86 to 41 (B vs C). Someone considering both compounded injection options who wants an advertised flat price without a required subscription and will confirm the exact prescription, state access and refund terms.
EllieMD is still a genuine option — before the price: this is a multi-level marketing business. The navigation carries "Brand Partner" and "Login to Back Office", the footer links an income disclaimer, and every product page opens with "Welcome! You were referred by:" — blank, on a direct visit. The medication is $299 a cycle, $897 for twelve weeks, and a cycle is four weeks, so a year is thirteen charges. Semaglutide and tirzepatide cost exactly the same, which almost nothing else here does. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same women's-health rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.
Price, access & features
Price highlights compare average monthly budgets, using 52 weeks ÷ 12 months for weekly cycles. Quoted charges retain their billing units; unknown periods and fee-only or prepaid quotes do not compete.

Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge Rx
Metabolic-Fit 86/100 · Grade B
What we like
- Officially linked public offer advertises $79/month semaglutide and $129/month tirzepatide across doses
- Advertises care and free overnight cold shipping within those prices, with no membership fee
- Public offer describes one-time purchases, no required subscription and the same refill price
The caveats
- Main navigation still shows semaglutide from $99, conflicting with the $79 officially linked offer
- A patient-specific prescription quantity and checkout total were not verified; confirm before paying
- State eligibility depends on therapy; nationwide access should not be assumed
Metabolic-Fit / 100
EllieMD
Metabolic-Fit 41/100 · Grade C
What we like
- One price for everything — semaglutide, tirzepatide, injectable, oral, and the B12, carnitine or glycine additive at no extra cost
- Its per-month conversions on other products are arithmetically correct, dividing weeks properly rather than by three
- A microdose route exists at $229 a cycle for people starting lower
The caveats
- It is a multi-level marketing operation, with a brand-partner back office and an income disclaimer
- A cycle is four weeks, so the year is $3,887 rather than the $3,588 a "$299 a month" reading gives
- Four separate fees, each in a different document: $50 consultation, $99 cancellation, $30 late, $25 per missed payment
Some outbound links earn MomMetabolic a referral fee at no added cost to you, walled off from the Metabolic-Fit Score.
