The verdict

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. ShedRx still earns its place — people who want an oral or sublingual option rather than weekly injections.

Factor by factor

  • Competitive tirzepatide pricing

The caveats

What we like

  • Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
  • Available in all 50 states
