The verdict

Winner: CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 78/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch.

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

Rivo Health

What we like

  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as both injections and oral options, starting around $149/mo (sema) and $199/mo (tirz)
  • Bundles dietitians, live workouts, support groups and mental-health coaching with the medication, not just a prescription
  • Insurance concierge to maximize coverage, FSA/HSA eligible, with multi-month plans that cut the price further
  • Large, established program (115,000+ members, Trustpilot 4.7) available nationwide

The caveats

  • Uses partner compounding pharmacies it doesn't name on the site
  • Headline prices are Spring-sale rates — everyday cost is higher and the deepest discounts need a 6-month commitment
  • Weight loss is one of several verticals (ED, longevity, sleep, hair, skin), not a single focus
  • Some bundled perks (e.g. meal prep) are paid add-ons rather than included
