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
TelePeptide
What we like
- LegitScript-certified (seal ID 49966407); 503A-licensed compounding pharmacies
- All-inclusive from $169/mo annual — physician eval + Rx + medication + shipping, no hidden fees
- Broadest formulation menu: injectable sema/tirz, oral dissolvable tablets, sema+naltrexone, microdose combos
- 24/7 care team messaging + regular check-ins + dosage adjustments included at every tier
- 48 states + DC coverage (excludes only AK + MS); no insurance required; cancel anytime
The caveats
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; no pharmacy partner named publicly
- Monthly billing costs more — $199/mo (monthly) vs $169/mo (annual) for semaglutide injectable; best rate requires annual prepay
- Labs not included in any plan
- Founder disclosed by first name only (Ahmed); no physician names or clinical leadership disclosed publicly
- Tirzepatide injectable at $249/mo (monthly billing) is above the compounded market average
