Ro
What we like
- Brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) access and insurance support
- Oral options
- Polished, well-funded platform
The caveats
- Does not publicly disclose compounded pricing up front
- Premium positioning
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
