Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 48/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Beluga Health still earns its place — shoppers who want brands launching DTC GLP-1 telehealth; less direct for individual shoppers.

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

- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Beluga Health
What we like
- Supports GLP-1 care with compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Board-certified providers and a 50-state medical infrastructure
- LegitScript certified with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 security
- Pharmacies follow FDA/USP standards with third-party batch testing
- Powers many DTC brands as a turnkey telehealth backbone
The caveats
- White-label B2B group, not a direct consumer-facing service
- Offers compounded, not FDA-approved branded, GLP-1s
- No public consumer pricing for the GLP-1 offering
- Cited among nationwide groups tied to FDA telehealth GLP-1 scrutiny
- Care quality varies by the consumer brand using the platform
