Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 64/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. AquaVita NextGen still earns its place — patients in AZ/CA/FL/TX/NV seeking medspa-backed GLP-1 with a named medical director.
The score compares published program terms and features; it does not measure clinical outcomes or predict which treatment will suit you.

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
AquaVita NextGen
What we like
- Physical address in Lake Forest CA
- Named medical director (Dr. Steve Groke)
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide including ODT tablets
- Compounding disclaimer present on site
The caveats
- Only 5 states (AZ, CA, FL, TX, NV)
- No LegitScript or PCAB accreditation
- Primarily a local medspa expanding into telehealth
- Only a first-month semaglutide price ($375, originally $499) is published; ongoing monthly price and all tirzepatide pricing remain unpublished
