Winner: CoreAge Rx

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

InstaRX

What we like

  • Available in all 50 states plus DC
  • Manage GLP-1, anti-aging peptides, and sexual-health medications on one account
  • Offers both compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide
  • Independent provider group (Dr Telx) named in the Terms of Service

The caveats

  • No per-dose or monthly pricing published — only a "$199 to get started" hook; you can't compare costs before intake
  • No LegitScript, HIPAA, or NABP accreditation shown on public pages
  • Compounding pharmacy not named — only "U.S. pharmacies"
  • Terms of Service reads like generic boilerplate, including copy-paste language about women's health issues — suggests low template hygiene
  • Delaware governing law for disputes despite a California corporate address
