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
Fierce Health
What we like
- 30-state service list spelled out in the Terms — buyers can verify eligibility before intake
- LegitScript Certified
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer on every product page
- Four GLP-1 programs (standard and microdose semaglutide and tirzepatide) — a broader ladder than peers
- Microdose tier at $197/mo is one of the lower entry points we've seen
The caveats
- No named 503A compounding pharmacy partner — only generic 'partner pharmacies' language
- Operating LLC name not disclosed anywhere on the site
- Tirzepatide weight-loss program ($497/mo) showing 'sold out or unavailable' across all plans at review time
- Clinical provider network not named
