Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 73/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. PreventiveMD still earns its place — shoppers who want compounded GLP-1s from $83/mo all-in with brand Wegovy and Zepbound upgrade paths.
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
PreventiveMD
What we like
- Compounded semaglutide from $83/mo and tirzepatide from $97/mo, billed as one all-in monthly price
- Brand Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo (oral GLP-1) available on the same platform
- US-licensed provider reviews requests within 24 hours — no video visit required
- You aren't charged until a provider approves; checkout places an authorization hold only
- LegitScript-certified; works exclusively with state-licensed US 503A compounding pharmacies
The caveats
- Both figures are 'as low as' rates and the qualifying term is not published anywhere — the checkout is gated, so whether $97 is month-to-month or a multi-month prepay cannot be established before signing up
- Brand-name routes are priced separately and do carry a fee: $49/mo membership plus medication from $149/mo for Foundayo and Wegovy, from $299/mo for Zepbound
- No state count is published, and a state-variant waitlist implies some states are unserved
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
