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
  • 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'
