CoreAge Rx
What we like
- Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
- Available in all 50 states
- Straightforward, low-friction cancellation
The caveats
- Not the cheapest — flat-price challengers like Trimi Health and Alan Meds undercut its sticker price
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Alloy
What we like
- Broadest GLP-1 formulary here: brand Wegovy and Zepbound, oral Wegovy, plus compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide
- All consulting doctors are certified by The Menopause Society — a rare credential
- STARTGLP1 promo code takes $50 off the first month
- Spans the price range: compounded semaglutide from $70/mo, brand Wegovy from $199/mo (each plus the $99/mo Weight Care fee)
The caveats
- Menopause-focused — best for women in menopause or perimenopause, not men or younger patients
- A mandatory $99/mo Alloy Weight Care fee sits on top of every medication price (so the true minimum is ~$169/mo, not $70)
- Compounded semaglutide not available in AL, AR, CA, NV, LA, MS or DC
