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
HealthSource
What we like
- Three GLP-1 options: compounded semaglutide injection, tirzepatide injection, and oral sublingual tirzepatide
- 24/7 access to care team via HIPAA-compliant platform with unlimited physician messaging
- Every program covers the cost of medication, supplies, and telehealth visits — no separate pharmacy fee
- Subscription auto-refund if monthly reassessment is not completed
- Available in all 50 US states including Alaska and Hawaii with 3–5 day shipping
The caveats
- No physician names or clinical leadership disclosed on public pages
- No LegitScript certification found
- 503A partner pharmacy not named — less transparent than providers disclosing their 503B pharmacy
- Labs not mentioned on any product page — baseline bloodwork protocol unknown
- WooCommerce e-commerce storefront may feel more transactional than clinical
