Grade C · #150Oak
One price at every dose and no membership fee — but Oak publishes nine different "starting" prices, attaches a billing term to none of them, and will not name a rate until you have finished a 29-question intake.

Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 68/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Oak still earns its place — people who want same-day online approval with no membership fee, and who are willing to complete a long health intake before learning what it costs.
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
Oak
What we like
- One price across every dosage, so titrating up does not raise the cost — Oak's own claim, and the thing that would make its pricing simple once you have a number
- No membership fee, and free shipping
- Branded injector pens and Wegovy tablets listed beside the compounded line, with the process offered in Spanish as well as English
- Same-day approval, so the intake and the quote happen in one sitting rather than over days
The caveats
- No price is knowable before the intake: Oak publishes nine different "starting" figures across its own pages — $119, $133, $160, $167, $180, $185, $190, $199 and $250 — and attaches a billing term to none of them
- The $119 and $185 headlines sit beside a "$200 off — new patient offer" that Oak's own affiliate page defines as "$50 off your first month, $200 off 3-months" — a three-month package discount, not a monthly rate
- The undiscounted floors Oak states for itself are $190/mo on one page and $167/mo on another, and the two pages do not agree
- Oak advertises that all doses cost the same while a reading of its checkout copy recorded each dose step costing roughly $50–$75 more; neither version can be confirmed without submitting a 29-question health intake
- Same-day approval with no video call required means very little clinical contact before a prescription
- Branded pens and Wegovy tablets carry no public price, and Oak's terms list 45 states while its home page says all 50
- Packages renew as subscriptions, so cancel before the next one if you want to stop
