Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 65/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. InstaRX still earns its place — shoppers who want compounded GLP-1 plus peptides and sexual health on one account.
The score compares published program terms and features; it does not measure clinical outcomes or predict which treatment will suit you.

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
