Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 62/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Mint Med still earns its place — titrating patients in its 36 states who want one price that never moves.
The score compares published program terms and features; it does not measure clinical outcomes or predict which treatment will suit you.

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
Mint Med
What we like
- One flat rate — 'GLP-1 All Doses $159 per month' — applies to both semaglutide and tirzepatide, so cost does not escalate on titration
- 'NO memberships!' stated on the homepage; pay-as-you-go monthly with no contract
- Cancellation is explicit and short: 'you can cancel anytime. We just require 48 business hours notice to stop your next order'
- 36 states enumerated by postal code on the site, and treatment is HSA/FSA eligible
- US-based phone support on 1-513-826-6142 with published hours, plus a support email
The caveats
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished drug products and have not been reviewed by FDA for safety or efficacy
- The pharmacy that actually compounds the medication is still not named on the site
- Coverage is 36 states rather than nationwide, and there is no brand-name or oral GLP-1 option
- No named medical director or clinical leadership, and asynchronous review means limited live prescriber contact in eligible states
