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

Layla

What we like

  • Oral semaglutide dropper option plus injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide, with a brand-name upgrade path
  • Named Medical Director (Dr. Ruth Cohen) and 24-7 doctor messaging
  • Quiz-based intake with fast three to five day shipping

The caveats

  • Brand-inclusive GLP-1 program is expensive, starting around 1,299 dollars
  • States served are not published on the site
  • Support phone line uses a UK format, and the compounding pharmacy is not named
