The verdict

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.

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
