Visit LeanDoseThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out LeanDose on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 86 to 28 (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.
LeanDose is still a genuine option — leanDose publishes a first-month price for each drug — $159 for semaglutide, $279 for tirzepatide — and no second-month price at all. It also, in the FAQ, answers a customer's question about cost with a sentence written for its own web designer: "The redesign should keep pricing transparent and avoid membership-fee surprises." That is an internal instruction, live on the public site, in the place a reader goes for the one answer this page does not give. To its credit, it names all seventeen states it serves and gives its pharmacy's full address and phone number. 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
LeanDose
Metabolic-Fit 28/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Names all seventeen states it serves individually rather than claiming a number
- Names its dispensing pharmacy in full — Striker Pharmacy, with street address, phone number and email
- Offers in-person clinic locations alongside the online flow, which is unusual for a telehealth brand
The caveats
- Both prices are explicitly first-month prices, and no ongoing rate is published anywhere on the site
- Its FAQ answer about cost ends with an instruction to its own designers — "The redesign should keep pricing transparent and avoid membership-fee surprises" — published as if it were an answer to a customer
- The FAQ is written as questions from named people in named cities, which reads as invented rather than collected
Some outbound links earn MomMetabolic a referral fee at no added cost to you, walled off from the Metabolic-Fit Score. Pricing, states and verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last review; the Metabolic-Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
