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. Nolu still earns its place — patients who want one all-in per-order price with no separate membership fee, and who will work out the true annualized cost of 4-week billing themselves.

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

Nolu

What we like

  • All-in per-order pricing — consult, medication and shipping in one figure, no separate membership fee
  • Sells a rarer oral semaglutide tablet alongside the injectable, plus a Microdose GLP-1+B12/NAD+ stack
  • LegitScript verified, reaching all 50 states plus Washington, D.C.

The caveats

  • Every price on the site is billed "per 4 weeks," not by calendar month — roughly 8% higher annualized than a bare monthly reading of the $249/$339 figures implies
  • No medical director, prescriber, or compounding pharmacy is named anywhere on the public site
  • Compounded only — not the FDA-approved brand product, which matters if you are relying on insurance
