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
AskRx
What we like
- Prescribes only FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s, no compounded drugs
- LegitScript approved and HIPAA compliant
- Board-certified physicians trained in obesity medicine
- Transparent dose-based pricing published on site
- Available in all 50 states
The caveats
- Cash-pay model; medication cost billed separately by the pharmacy
- Does not dispense medication itself, so fulfillment depends on third-party pharmacies
- No compounded lower-cost alternative offered
- Specific list of supported states is not published
