The verdict

Winner: CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 71/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Harbor still earns its place — adults seeking the lowest-cost compounded GLP-1 with physician oversight and a 12-month money-back guarantee.

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

Harbor

What we like

  • Compounded semaglutide from $99/mo and tirzepatide from $149/mo — among the lowest we track headline prices in the market

  • 24/7 physician access with ongoing consultations, dosage adjustments, and free discreet shipping
  • 12-Month Money Back Guarantee if you don't reach your weight-loss goal
  • HSA/FSA eligible; no hidden fees, no insurance billed

The caveats

  • Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; compounding pharmacy names not publicly disclosed
  • Dietitian support offered only post-program (maintenance phase), not during active treatment
  • State-specific consultation types vary; nationwide availability unconfirmed for all states
  • No labs disclosed; patient portal is a third-party platform (mdintegrations), not native
  • Newer brand; success rate and member counts are on-site claims, not third-party verified
