Visit ShapelyThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out Shapely on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 86 to 50 (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.
Shapely is still a genuine option — shapely combines scheduled provider and dietitian contact with a separate medication bill. Self-pay care is $99/month plus compounded medication from $99 for semaglutide or $166 for tirzepatide, making recurring starting totals $198 and $265; insurance, labs and introductory offers have separate conditions.

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
Shapely
Metabolic-Fit 50/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Accepts some insurance arrangements; confirm network participation and drug coverage with your plan
- Quotes brand-name co-pays honestly, "typically $25 per month but depending on the plan may be higher"
- Insurance coverage and medication eligibility are plan-specific; confirm the actual benefits before relying on a copay estimate
The caveats
- The membership is a second cost: $99 a month on top of whatever the medication costs, discounted to $49 for the first month
- "Get started for as low as $9" is the first-month membership price when paying with insurance — not a medication price and not an ongoing one
- Labs are excluded and cost around $75 if insurance does not cover them
Some outbound links earn MomMetabolic a referral fee at no added cost to you, walled off from the Metabolic-Fit Score.
