The verdict

Winner: CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 57/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Metabolyz still earns its place — shoppers who want all-50-state telehealth; compounded sema+tirz+microdose; coaching included; gated pricing.

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

Metabolyz

What we like

  • Three GLP-1 programs: standard semaglutide, dual-agonist tirzepatide, and a microdose protocol for near-goal or dose-sensitive patients
  • Nutrition, movement, and lifestyle coaching included in all programs at no extra charge
  • Medication compounded in licensed 503A/503B US pharmacies with temperature-controlled, unmarked direct-to-door delivery
  • Licensed provider supervision with direct messaging access and structured check-ins throughout
  • Telehealth across all 50 states; BMI 27+ eligibility (25+ with weight-related condition)

The caveats

  • Pricing is fully gated — not disclosed until after consultation, preventing upfront cost comparison
  • Compounded GLP-1 only — no brand-name options (Wegovy, Zepbound) available
  • No LegitScript certification or named medical leadership found on public-facing pages
  • Labs not mentioned as included — unclear whether baseline or follow-up bloodwork is offered
  • Newer brand with no external reviews, published outcomes data, or notable accreditations
