Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 68/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. SkinnyRx still earns its place — people who want a GLP-1 tablet or shot with free overnight shipping, and who will ask for the renewal price before paying.
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
SkinnyRx
What we like
- Public first-month prices: $99 for either injection, $149 for the semaglutide tablet and $199 for the tirzepatide tablet
- Both molecules by both routes — injectable and tablet or sublingual — plus a separate low-dose line with its own page
- Publishes concrete terms rather than vague ones: free shipping, unlimited provider messaging, a 90-day money-back guarantee, and no charge at all if a clinician decides you are not a candidate
- Names the states it does not serve instead of saying 'select states': 47 states and Washington DC, with the three exclusions stated
The caveats
- The public pages never print the price after the first month, so ask for the renewal amount before you pay
- No brand product can actually be bought: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound carry no purchase price, and the Wegovy and Foundayo pills are marked unavailable. The only priced route there is a $49/mo membership 'plus medication cost', and that cost is not published
- Compounded only and not FDA-approved, dispensed by four pharmacies named in section 11 of the Terms but classified nowhere — the strings "503A" and "503B" do not appear in those Terms at all — and with no named medical director for the program
