The verdict

Winner: CoreAge Rx

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
  • FDA issued this company a warning letter dated 1 September 2025; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
