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

TeleClinic

What we like

  • Names its pharmacy partner — Rush Pharmacy, a licensed 503A compounder — which many compounded-GLP-1 telehealths won't disclose
  • LegitScript certified with flat, published monthly pricing, free shipping, and no insurance required
  • Broad access: 47 states with US-licensed physicians and transparent cash-pay pricing

The caveats

  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name GLP-1 (Wegovy or Zepbound) option
  • Headline $139/$219 rates are first-quarter intro prices billed quarterly; ongoing month-to-month is $199/$299
  • Not available in California, South Carolina, or New Jersey
