The verdict

Winner: CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 54/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Zealthy still earns its place — shoppers who want not currently recommended — listed for transparency and reader awareness only.

The score compares published program terms and features; it does not measure clinical outcomes or predict which treatment will suit you.

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

Zealthy

What we like

  • Serves 34 states — meaningful nationwide footprint
  • Asynchronous model removes friction for patients who don't want a video visit
  • Independent licensed prescribers retain full clinical authority

The caveats

  • Active Novo Nordisk false-advertising lawsuit alleging trademark infringement and marketing compounded drugs as FDA-approved alternatives
  • Active DOJ/FTC enforcement alleging undisclosed subscription terms, locked cancellation, and unauthorized health-data sharing
  • Founder previously ran Cerebral, which settled with the FTC in 2024 over similar deceptive practices
  • Recently rebranded to Gronk Inc. amid active enforcement
