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

Teleios Health

What we like

  • Compounded semaglutide from $99/mo — among the lowest we track floor prices in cash-pay telehealth
  • Compounded tirzepatide from a competitive $139/mo floor
  • Markets physician (MD/DO) prescribing rather than an NP-only model
  • Clean meta-tag and SEO implementation

The caveats

  • Single-page app: state availability, pharmacy partner, dose pricing, lab requirements, and refund policy aren't visible and couldn't be verified
  • No named medical director, physician, or corporate entity disclosed
  • Year founded unknown — a newer floor-price entrant warranting extra scrutiny
  • No LegitScript, NABP, or SOC 2 trust signal found
  • Heavy paid-acquisition ad-tech stack — pair with diligence on the clinical layer
