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
Lumora
What we like
- Compounded semaglutide (5 dose tiers) and tirzepatide (6 dose tiers) in injectable and sublingual forms
- Physician-founded by board-certified Drs. Sean and Shannon Arora (Arora Health & Aesthetics); clinician reviews every assessment
- LegitScript certified, HIPAA compliant, medications dispensed through licensed U.S. pharmacy partners
- Visit fees, medication, labs, and follow-up all included; full pricing shown before commitment
- Peptide therapies offered including NAD+, sermorelin, glutathione, gonadorelin, and PT-141
The caveats
- Pricing is fully gated behind the assessment — no public pricing; actual monthly costs unverifiable without completing intake
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; compounding pharmacy partners not publicly named
- Newer brand with 2026 founding; no Trustpilot rating or accessible public patient reviews found
- No dietitian, coaching, or HSA/FSA eligibility disclosed on public pages
- Claims all 50 states but 'treatment options may vary by state' with no explicit state-by-state coverage list
