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

- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Vida Health
What we like
- Medical Weight Loss program includes anti-obesity GLP-1 medications
- Pairs medication with behavioral-health coaching and medical management
- Whole-person care across chronic conditions, sleep, and nutrition
- Integrates with major health plans, PBMs, and benefit platforms
- Established virtual chronic-care platform
The caveats

- Access usually requires employer or plan sponsorship
- No public consumer GLP-1 pricing
- Clinician credentials not detailed publicly
- Less suited to consumers wanting direct-to-door GLP-1
