Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 52/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Peter MD still earns its place — patients outside the excluded states who want tiered semaglutide pricing or a discounted tirzepatide first month from a physician-founded telehealth brand.
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
Peter MD
What we like
- Physician-prescribed telehealth model, founded 2021, headquartered in Miami, FL
- Semaglutide is priced in two published tiers, each shown with its upfront total ($447 for first-time patients, $834 for returning patients)
- Tirzepatide's discounted first month ($149) is stated up front rather than buried in fine print
The caveats
- The affiliate program's own disclosed restricted-state list is broader than the customer-facing pricing pages: tirzepatide is additionally excluded in AR, CA, MI, NC and TX beyond the AL/ID the marketing page names, and the two disclosures do not agree
- Tirzepatide's price nearly doubles after the first month, from $149 to $249/mo, billed quarterly
- Semaglutide is sold combined with B12 as "GLP1 + B12," not offered as a standalone prescription
- No oral or sublingual option — injectable only
- Customer reviews are mixed
