Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 87/100 (grade A vs B+). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. Effecty still earns its place — patients who want a verified provider that can pivot to brand-name if compounded supply tightens.

Effecty
What we like
- LegitScript-certified and available in all 50 states
- Brand-name access alongside both compounded molecules
- Sensible mid-market pricing on both
The caveats
- No oral route
- Pricing sits above the aggressive value tier
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
Also worth a look
