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
Rixa Health
What we like
- Functional-medicine, root-cause clinical approach
- Compounded and oral semaglutide plus tirzepatide offered
- Board-certified DO and FNP providers with years of experience
- Medication bundled with visits into a single price
- No charge until after approval
The caveats
- No public monthly pricing; quoted only during consultation
- Relies on compounded GLP-1, which is not FDA-approved as a finished drug
- A handful of states still listed as coming soon
- Branded GLP-1 medications are not the primary offering
- Requires ongoing monthly follow-up commitment
