Grade A · #1CoreAge Rx
The most honest middle of the market: nationwide access, both molecules at one flat, no-surprise price.
Visit CoreAge RxThe verdict
Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 84/100 (grade A vs B). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. MadeMed still earns its place — anyone who expects to titrate and wants the year-two cost visible before starting, with an oral route available without changing provider.
Factor by factor
Both scored on the same six factors — see the methodology. The brass bar marks the stronger side on each.

MadeMed
What we like
- One flat price at every dose, published dose by dose — semaglutide 0.25mg to 2.4mg, tirzepatide 2.5mg to 15mg
- LegitScript verified, with board-certified physician review and US compounding pharmacies
- Full refund minus a $39 physician-visit fee if you are not prescribed — stated before checkout, not buried in terms
- Oral semaglutide and oral tirzepatide offered alongside the injections, with free overnight shipping and supplies included
The caveats
- The most expensive tirzepatide on this board at $399/mo quarterly
- Available in 40 states rather than nationwide — check yours before starting
- Compounded only, with no brand-name pathway
- Ships one vial every two months, a less flexible cadence than a monthly refill
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
