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

  • No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
  • Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner

Teladoc Health

What we like

  • Partners with 50%-plus of Fortune 500 and 100-plus health plans
  • Adds nutrition, coaching and connected device tracking
  • Strong clinical credibility and brand trust

The caveats

  • Distributed mainly via employers and health plans, limited direct cash-pay
  • No transparent published monthly price for GLP-1 care
