Visit TMatesThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out TMates on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 86 to 54 (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.
TMates is still a genuine option — compounded semaglutide at $249 a month and tirzepatide at $297, held flat across every dose from the starting 0.25 mg all the way to the top of the ladder — and, unusually, priced identically whether you take it as an injection or an oral. TMates publishes its full commitment ladder up front rather than revealing it at checkout: three, six and twelve-month terms at $217, $175 and $158 a month for semaglutide and $267, $217 and $167 for tirzepatide, each shown with the total you actually pay. Every advertised saving checks out against the month-to-month rate. What it does not publish anywhere is the list of states it serves, so you cannot confirm availability before starting. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.

Price, access & features

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
TMates
Metabolic-Fit 54/100 · Grade C
What we like
- One price per molecule across every dose, so titrating up never raises the bill
- Oral and injectable cost exactly the same, which is rare and removes a hidden penalty for choosing the pill
- Publishes the full three, six and twelve-month ladder with the real totals, not just a per-month figure
The caveats
- Publishes no list of the states it serves, so availability is unknown until you start
- The longer terms are prepaid commitments, so the cheapest per-month numbers are not month-to-month prices
- No postpartum, breastfeeding or PCOS guidance published anywhere on the site
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.
