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

DreamHug Medical

What we like

  • Florida business address disclosed publicly (Pompano Beach, FL) — more transparency than many DTC competitors
  • 100% money-back guarantee if you're not approved
  • Telehealth-only with claimed all-50-state coverage via an 11,000-doctor network
  • LegitScript logo displayed

The caveats

  • Tirzepatide not mentioned — semaglutide-only, narrower scope than competitors
  • Pricing not disclosed — fully gated behind sign-up
  • LegitScript ID number not shown (only the logo)
  • Pharmacy partner not disclosed
  • Named medical director not disclosed
