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

Gatlan

What we like

  • Named Chief Medical Advisor with verifiable credentials — Dr. Robert Lufkin, UCLA/USC professor — rare in this market
  • 44 states explicitly listed — you can confirm coverage without starting the sign-up flow
  • 'Doctor-Level Care, Minus the Friction' positioning targets buyers wanting premium clinical attention
  • Fully online process with concierge delivery and monitoring
  • Compounded tirzepatide confirmed

The caveats

  • Pricing not shown publicly — fully gated behind the sign-up flow
  • Unclear whether compounded semaglutide is offered — only tirzepatide is mentioned on the site
  • LegitScript certification status not disclosed
  • 503A/503B pharmacy partner not named, and designation not specified
  • No compounded-medication disclaimer published
