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

Kin Meds

What we like

  • Publicly lists $199/mo compounded semaglutide and $249/mo compounded tirzepatide
  • Brand-name options too — Wegovy injection and pill, Zepbound, Foundayo from $149/mo entry pricing
  • LegitScript verified
  • Clearly identifies itself as the intake platform and a licensed third-party pharmacy as the dispenser
  • Broad longevity menu (Sermorelin, NAD+, Glutathione) plus TRT, hair, skin, and sexual health

The caveats

  • Legal entity name and state of incorporation not publicly disclosed
  • The third-party pharmacy partner isn't named, and Kin Meds isn't itself a licensed pharmacy
  • Per-state availability not listed
  • $149/mo brand pricing is the insured entry tier — cash-pay patients should expect higher real costs
  • Lab work and dose-titration support not clearly described
