Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 74/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch.

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
FormidableMD
What we like
- Transparent, published dose-by-dose pricing for semaglutide ($169-$269/mo) and tirzepatide ($199-$319/mo) with no membership or commitment
- Offers both FDA-approved and compounded GLP-1s (plus oral options) from 503A pharmacies, with a real provider at every visit
- Boutique physician-led model bundling labs, peptides, HRT/TRT and urgent care; FSA/HSA eligible
The caveats
- Florida-focused telehealth — availability outside FL is not advertised, so out-of-state access is uncertain
- Medication cost is on top of a $199 initial consultation and $99 follow-up visits (pay-per-visit, not an all-in monthly price)
- The 503A compounding pharmacy partner is not named on the site
