Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 67/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Belle Health still earns its place — someone who wants a compounded starting price at the low end of the market with the option to switch to brand Wegovy or Zepbound on the same account.

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
Belle Health
What we like
- Offers brand Wegovy (from $1,400/mo) and brand Zepbound (from $1,999/mo) alongside the compounded lines, so a switch to an FDA-approved product does not mean changing provider
- Compounded prices are published before intake: from $119 a month for semaglutide and from $175 a month for tirzepatide
- Weekly registered-dietitian sessions are included in the monthly price at no extra charge
- Trading since 2017, which is unusually long for this segment
- The site states plainly that 'Compounded medications are not evaluated or approved by the FDA' rather than burying the caveat
The caveats
- FDA Warning Letter 721795, dated 20 February 2026, to Belle Health LLC dba Belle over its website's compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide claims under FDCA sections 502(a) and 502(bb); no closeout letter has been published
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality
- Both compounded prices are 'from' prices, so the figure you are quoted after intake may be higher than the one advertised
- The pharmacy partners named in the Terms have been swapped out entirely, and two of the current four have publicly stepped back from GLP-1 compounding
- No refunds on prescription or compounded products once shipped, and no telephone support is published
