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
Heros Health
What we like
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a flat program price, not tiered by dose
- Transparent pricing: $149 first month, then $199/mo (or $165/mo on the 3-month plan)
- 90-day money-back guarantee on GLP-1 treatment
- Dose adjustments at weeks 2, 4, and 8 included at no extra cost
- Named board-certified physicians (Dr. Amber Patel, Dr. Scott Sanderson, Dr. Scott Nass)
The caveats
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products
- Specific 503A pharmacy partner is not named publicly
- State coverage is stated inconsistently on the site (claims both 50 and 46 states)
- No insurance billing — cash-pay only
