CoreAge Rx vs Telos Rx
Two GLP-1 providers, ruled side by side on The Verdict Score — our published six-factor rubric. Same yardstick, no pay-to-win placement.
vs
Verdict85/ 100
Grade B · #21Telos Rx
Carries one of the deepest published catalogs on the board — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide plus needle-free oral and microdosed routes, PT-141, intranasal NAD+ and a wall of recovery peptides — and backs it with a checkable LegitScript certification and HIPAA compliance, but the verdict docks it hard because every line is compounded, not FDA-approved, and the pricing turns opaque the moment you look past the headline GLP-1 tiers.
Visit Telos RxThe verdict
Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 85/100 (grade A vs B). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Telos Rx still earns its place — patients who want a single LegitScript-verified operator carrying far more than a GLP-1 — oral and microdosed options, peptides and bioidentical HRT — and will accept compounded-only meds and a long annual lock-in in exchange for the lowest published prices.

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
Telos Rx
What we like
- Unusually deep published menu — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside PT-141, intranasal NAD+, and recovery peptides (sermorelin, ipamorelin, CJC-1295, BPC-157)
- Needle-free and oral routes, including oral and microdosed tirzepatide, for the needle-averse
- LegitScript-certified and HIPAA-compliant, with US-based providers and pharmacies, plus HSA/FSA and free 48-hour shipping
- Low published GLP-1 entry — from $49/mo microdosed and $99/mo tirzepatide on annual plans
The caveats
- Everything is compounded, not FDA-approved — including the peptides, several of which are research-grade with limited human evidence
- Pricing turns opaque outside the headline GLP-1 tiers, and the cheapest rates require a long annual lock-in (short plans run $145/$199/$399 in the first month)
- No named clinicians or leadership, and only a thin body of public reviews
- States served are not published, so confirm your state is covered before you sign up
