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
FormBlends
What we like
- Low published entry price on compounded semaglutide ($99) from a licensed 503A pharmacy
- Physician-supervised program with 24/7 care-team access and free shipping over $150
- Extensive free educational content, guides and provider comparisons on-site
The caveats
- Enrollment and final pricing complete on an external portal (rx.formscripts.com), not fully on-site
- $99 may be an intro rate; tirzepatide is comparatively high at $349/mo
- State availability and LegitScript status not published; pharmacy is its own FormScripts brand
