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

Alternate Health Club

What we like

  • $129/month compounded semaglutide is among the cheapest we track in the US market
  • $169/month compounded tirzepatide is competitive with established platforms

  • LegitScript verified
  • US-licensed clinicians

The caveats

  • Parent company / legal entity not publicly disclosed
  • State of incorporation not disclosed
  • Per-state availability not listed — confirm your state ships before committing
  • Pharmacy partners not publicly named
  • Unclear whether lab work is included
