Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 60/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Cielo still earns its place — buyers willing to prepay six months for some of the lowest compounded GLP-1 per-month rates available.
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
Cielo
What we like
- Six-month plan rates of $89/mo semaglutide and $129/mo tirzepatide are among the lowest published in the category
- Same price at every dose, stated verbatim as 'Same price any dose', so titration does not raise the bill
- The asterisk on the headline price is explicit: '*With a 6-month plan. All doses.'
- Month-to-month plans are genuinely available at $139 and $189, without prepayment
- Corporate address in St. Petersburg, Florida and a customer service phone number are published
The caveats
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products and have not been reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality
- The headline prices shown on the homepage are six-month prepaid rates, roughly 36 percent below the month-to-month price
- No compounding pharmacy is named, only 'regulated FDA pharmacy partners'
- No state coverage list is published, so all-50-state availability cannot be verified
- Clinical care runs through MD Integrations, a third-party network shared with many other brands
