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
Lavender Sky Health
What we like
- The treatment-plan pricing page publishes every pharmacy's full ladder rather than one headline figure, so the cheaper prepaid tiers are visible alongside the monthly ones
- A genuine month-to-month starter plan exists with no prepay, and the cheapest of them is what is filed above — Southend for semaglutide, ReviveRx for tirzepatide
- Compounded plans include the price of the medication, and shipping and supplies are stated as included
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are offered, across roughly ten named compounding pharmacies
The caveats
- This is a marketplace, not one price: every figure belongs to a named pharmacy on a named plan, and the pharmacy and plan have to travel with the number for it to mean anything
- Most of the ladder is prepaid — Tier plans need 8-10 weeks up front and Extended plans 3-4 months — and only a handful of the pharmacies publish a month-to-month starter plan at all
- Brand-name plans add a separate $25 monthly treatment-plan fee and explicitly do not include the price of the medication; only the compounded plans include it
- No price appears on the homepage, and the pricing page is the only place the ladders are published
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
