The verdict

Winner: CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 70/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Joi + Blokes still earns its place — shoppers who want gLP-1 alongside men's and women's hormone-health programs.

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

Joi + Blokes

What we like

  • Separate programs for women (Joi) and men (Blokes) — most GLP-1 telehealth is gender-agnostic
  • Trustpilot 4.6/5 from 1,254+ reviews — among the strongest review signals in the category
  • Monthly price includes medication, dosing support, clinician consults, and health coaching
  • Integrated hormone + GLP-1 programs help patients on testosterone or perimenopausal protocols
  • First-month discount ($99 sema / $149 tirz) lowers the barrier to trying GLP-1s

The caveats

  • Billed quarterly — a 3-month commitment up front, not month-to-month
  • Different pricing in NY and NJ — verify your state's cost before committing
  • Per-state availability isn't listed; it's zip-code gated behind signup
  • Months 2+ cost more ($199 sema / $299 tirz) than the headline intro price
  • No FDA-approved Wegovy — compounded only on the GLP-1 side; Zepbound carries a separate visit fee
