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
Kongo
What we like
- among the lowest we track compounded GLP-1 prices: semaglutide $119/month and tirzepatide $229/month
- Available in all 50 states with no membership fee, and provider, supplies, and free shipping always included
- Verifiable LegitScript certification (seal ID 45229340)
- Fast and simple: 4-minute intake with no video call and provider approval within 24 hours
- Also offers longevity treatments (NAD+, sermorelin, glutathione) if you want more than GLP-1
The caveats
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- The compounding pharmacy is described only as a 'licensed US pharmacy' and not named
- Newer brand; member testimonials are the main social proof
- Some verticals (Longevity, Intimacy) are still listed as 'coming soon'
